Card readers and POS systems for pet stores and services

SumUp offers flexible payment options for all kinds of pet services. Many businesses like groomers, trainers, pet sitters and professionals who work at clients’ homes prefer using a SumUp card reader because it’s quick, simple and works anywhere. If you need to schedule appointments, SumUp Booking helps you manage your calendar and take payments without extra admin.

For pet shops and vet clinics, a full POS system keeps sales, stock and staff activity organised in one place. You can also use Tap to Pay when you visit clients or work outside your usual location, which makes paying on the spot much easier.

To keep everything organised, the SumUp Business Account centralises payouts and helps you track your cash flow in one clear dashboard.

A POS system for pet services helps you stay organised, save time and give a better experience to clients — whether you’re a groomer, trainer, pet sitter, vet clinic or pet shop. With clear reports, you can see which services are most in demand, which products sell fastest and when your schedule gets busiest, making it easier to plan your week and avoid running out of essentials.

Depending on the type of service you offer, you can choose the setup that fits best. Groomers, trainers and pet sitters often prefer a simple SumUp card reader so they can take quick payments anywhere — after a grooming session, during a class or at the end of a stay. Vet clinics and pet shops usually benefit from a full POS, since it helps manage stock, staff and daily sales in one place.

When you connect your POS or card reader to the SumUp Business Account, payouts land faster and your cash flow becomes easier to track. No matter how you work or how big your business is, SumUp gives you the flexibility to serve more pet owners and keep your operations running smoothly.
