Adoption Fees defines the calculated fee shown on public pet listings, applications, and adoption checkout.
Choose a Species
The species selector includes the animal types enabled in Settings > Organization. Choose a species to edit its four rule groups.
Fee Rules
Age Base Fees
Set the starting fee for Youngest, Young, Adult, and Senior pets.
Discounts
Set percentage reductions for:
- Health: Sick or Healthy
- Sex: Male or Female
- Size: Small, Medium, or Large
PawPlacer starts with the matching age fee and applies each matching discount to the remaining amount. Discounts therefore compound rather than add.
For example, a 10% discount followed by another 10% discount reduces a 200 fee to 162, not 160.
A fee saved directly on an individual pet takes precedence over these calculated rules.
Entering and Saving Values
Base fees accept values from 0 through 10,000. Discounts accept values from 0 through 100.
