Billing and payments

Invoicing software that knows why the visit was skipped

Billing in this trade has edge cases generic tools fumble: rain days, locked gates, prepaid punch cards, per dog rates. HoundStack handles each one with a rule, not a workaround, and never touches a percentage of your payments.

Skip rules do the awkward math

Every skip carries a reason, and every reason carries a billing rule you chose in advance. The invoice comes out right without anyone remembering what happened two Tuesdays ago.

  • Your Stripe, your money. Bring your own key. Card fees are Stripe's published rates and nothing more.
  • Two billing styles, one book. Prepaid credit ledgers for some clients, monthly invoices for others, side by side.

Everything in billing and payments

Prepaid credits or postpaid invoices

Run clients on a prepaid credit ledger that draws down per visit, or invoice after the work. Mix both across your book.

Stripe, your key, no markup

Connect your own Stripe account. HoundStack takes zero cut of your payment processing, and the money settles to you directly.

Skip reason billing rules

A locked gate is not the same as a rain day. Bill full, prorate, or waive automatically depending on why the visit was skipped.

Automatic overdue reminders

Reminders go out on a schedule you set, so chasing money stops being an evening job.

Client portal

Clients view and pay invoices themselves, see their visit history, and update their card without calling you.

Promotions and coupon codes

Run a spring cleanup special or a first month discount with a code. The discount applies itself on the invoice instead of living in a sticky note.
