Pawdmin features
Pawdmin prices grooms by the hour, lets you raise rates for new clients first, and has clients pick from times you offer. Each feature below has its own page that says exactly what it does and what it does not do.
What makes Pawdmin different
Four Pawdmin features come straight from how Betty Peto runs her own grooming business, and they are the reason Pawdmin exists:
- Hourly billing prices a groom from the time it takes and your hourly rate.
- Client tiers let new clients pay a higher rate while existing clients keep theirs.
- Penciled-in appointments let you offer a client up to five possible times and hold them until the client picks one.
- Orders before scheduling means the services and the price are agreed before a time is confirmed.
The rest is what a one-person grooming business needs around those four: a calendar that can fill a year, a portal for clients, reminders, checkout, waivers and a website.
What Pawdmin leaves out
Pawdmin has no route planning, no payroll or commission tracking, no cage or kennel management, no deposits, no two-way texting and no QuickBooks sync. Who Pawdmin is not a good fit for explains why.
All features
- Hourly billing Pawdmin prices each groom from the minutes on the order and your hourly rate, then writes the itemized estimate and invoice. Flat-fee services work alongside.
- Client tiers A Pawdmin tier is a named hourly rate. New clients start on your default tier, existing clients keep theirs, and a new rate can take effect from a date you set.
- Penciled-in appointments In Pawdmin you offer a client up to five possible times for one appointment. The times are held on your calendar, the client picks one, and the rest are released.
- Money Meter Pawdmin's Money Meter shows, for every day, what is booked, what is ready to pay, what has been paid and your tips, plus your hours and dollars per hour.
- Orders before scheduling In Pawdmin you build the order first, with services, time and price. The client approves the estimate, and only then is an appointment time confirmed.
- Year-ahead scheduling Pawdmin's appointment wizard books a repeating client every 4 to 8 weeks through the end of the year in one pass, following your scheduling rules.
- Client portal Pawdmin's client portal lets your clients register, add dogs, upload rabies proof, sign waivers, approve estimates, pick offered times and pay invoices.
- Website builder Pawdmin includes a website builder with 26 section types, a blog, courses, your own domain, and its own sitemap, robots file and share images for each site.
- Reminders and messaging Pawdmin sends appointment confirmations, reminders and change notices by email and text, with wording you can edit, plus campaigns and automations.
- Payments and checkout Pawdmin checks clients out through your own Stripe or Square account, with cards on file, tips, payment links, refunds and no added transaction fee.
- Documents and waivers Pawdmin stores your waivers and policies, has clients sign on screen before they book, and keeps a locked signed PDF with the date, time and device.
