Microchip Registration

Register pet microchips with PetLink from PawPlacer

In this guide

Key sections from this documentation page.

Registration StatusesWhere Registrations Start

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.
  • Summary counts for total, registered, in-progress, and failed registrations.
  • 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.
