Animal Friends OS + Square

Keep Your Processor

Already using Square? Keep it. Animal Friends OS integrates with your existing Square account so you can process payments at your front desk, through invoices, and via online booking without switching processors or paying double fees.

You choose your integrations. We never lock you in.

Animal Friends OS is the only pet care software that lets you bring your own payment processor, your own SMS provider, and your own accounting system. Competitors force you onto their stack and charge you for the privilege.

How the Integration Works

Link your Square account through the OAuth flow. Animal Friends OS redirects you to Square to authorize access, then pulls in your location and device information automatically. No API keys to copy. No technical setup. The entire connection takes about ninety seconds from start to finish.

What Data Syncs

Payments processed through Square appear in your Animal Friends OS transaction history in real time. Client names, service descriptions, and invoice numbers attach to each Square transaction so you can reconcile without manual work. Refunds flow both directions. Your Square dashboard and Animal Friends OS always agree.

In-Person and Online Payments

Use your Square Terminal or Square Reader for tap-to-pay at checkout. Send SMS invoice links that clients pay from their phone through Square. Process deposits for boarding reservations and grooming appointments through the online booking widget. Every payment method Square supports works with Animal Friends OS.

Setup Steps

Step one: click Settings, then Payment Processor, then Square in your Animal Friends OS dashboard. Step two: you will be redirected to Square to authorize the connection. Step three: select your Square location and you are done. If you have multiple locations, each one maps to a separate Animal Friends OS facility.

Why This Matters for Your Pet Business

If you have been using Square for years, your transaction history, customer records, and tax reporting all live there. Switching processors means losing that continuity. Animal Friends OS respects your existing infrastructure instead of demanding you abandon it. You keep Square, you keep your rates, and you add a purpose-built pet care management system on top.
