Key sections from this documentation page.

Payment ScreenIntegrated CheckoutTraditional Methods

Payment Screen

PawPlacer Checkout shows the available organization payment methods beside a summary of pet fees, donation, processing fee when applicable, and total.

Methods are grouped as Integrated, Traditional, Digital Wallets, and Cryptocurrency according to what the organization has configured.

Integrated Checkout

Stripe

An active Stripe connection adds card checkout. The adopter selects Pay with Stripe, completes Stripe's hosted checkout, and PawPlacer receives provider confirmation. Stripe's processing fee is disclosed and added to the displayed total.

Square

A connected Square account uses Square's hosted checkout. PawPlacer reuses an existing checkout for the same session and amount when possible and records the provider reference and result on the adoption.

Traditional Methods

  • Cash shows the organization's instructions and requires manual confirmation.
  • Check shows check instructions and requires manual confirmation. In Complete In Person, staff can also record the check number.

Digital Wallets

Configured PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle methods provide the supported QR code or mobile link, amount, and adoption reference. These external methods do not automatically verify payment, so the user confirms after paying.

Cryptocurrency

Configured Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Ethereum wallets show a QR code, address, and estimated crypto amount when a current exchange price is available. PawPlacer records the user's confirmation but does not verify the blockchain transaction.

Complete In Person

Staff select Cash or another enabled method, enter the adoption date, adjust the adoption fee, enter a donation, and click Complete Adoption. This path does not open the checkout contract, donation, or hosted-payment screens.

Receipt and Review

The completed record opens as an Adoption Receipt. Its Payment Ledger shows fee, donation, verified paid, remaining amount, payment method, confirmation state, and available provider or manual-review details.

Unverified records show Review Payment and Cancel. Review Payment records the verification and optional notes.
