Payments

One ledger for the whole business

Money in a grooming business arrives in fragments — a deposit online, the balance in the van, a tip in cash, a credit from last time's mishap. Kip keeps one real ledger of all of it, so what you think you earned and what you actually banked are the same number.

✓
Card on file and deposits at bookingQuick setup
Capture the card once, take the deposit up front, and stop absorbing the cost of no-shows.
✓
Split payments, done correctly
Part card, part cash, on one visit, reconciled to the cent rather than rounded in your head.
✓
Invoices for on-account and multi-pet households
Real invoices with a hosted link the client can pay, plus automatic reminders when they don't.
✓
Credits, discounts and partial refunds tracked
Every adjustment is a real ledger entry with a reason attached, not a number you quietly changed.
✓
Refund permissions by role
Who can refund what is a setting, not a matter of trust and hope.
✓
Staff pay and commission calculated from real visits
Commission comes off what was actually groomed and actually collected, not a spreadsheet you rebuild each week.
✓
Accounting export for your bookkeeper
The ledger comes out in a shape your accountant can use, so month-end is an export rather than an evening.

The rest of Kip

It only works because the other ten are there too.

Every part of Kip reads from the same records. That's the point — the price on the booking page, the spec in the van and the line on the invoice all come from one place.
