Microchip Registration

Register pet microchips with PetLink from PawPlacer

In this guide

Key sections from this documentation page.

Microchip Registry connects PawPlacer pet and owner records to PetLink. Open Settings > Microchips.

The page includes:

  • Connection settings for your organization's PetLink Animal Professional account.
  • A registration list showing the pet, microchip number, status, and any error.
  • Add Microchip for starting a registration.

Microchip Registry is marked Beta and is available to Admin, Pet Manager, and Developer roles.

Registration Statuses

  • Pending Validation: the registration is saved but has not been checked with PetLink.
  • Ready to Submit: PetLink validated the microchip and returned its payment status.
  • Transfer Required: the chip is already registered and the current details may be submitted as an eligible ownership transfer.
  • Registered: PetLink accepted the registration.
  • Error: validation or submission did not complete successfully.

PetLink may return payment information for a chip that is not prepaid. Review that response before submitting; a non-prepaid result does not by itself prevent submission.

Where Registrations Start

You can choose Add Microchip on the settings page or start from a pet's microchip information. Starting from a pet preselects the pet and chip number when those values are available.

Continue to Setting Up PetLink and Registering a Microchip.
