What a pet groomer could keep
Monthly processing cost at three sales levels, using each processor's standard in-person rate.
| Monthly card sales | Square | PayPal | Stripe | Our cost | You keep per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $10,000 – $25,000 | $485.88 | $624.13 | $482.79 | $388.09 | $1,714 |
| $25,000 – $50,000 | $1,041.18 | $1,337.43 | $1,034.56 | $831.62 | $3,673 |
| $50,000 – $100,000 | $2,082.35 | $2,674.85 | $2,069.12 | $1,663.24 | $7,346 |
Each row uses the middle of the sales range. "You keep" is the average of the three processors minus our cost, times 12.
Where the fees come from
Every card sale costs a percentage plus a flat fee. On a typical $85 pet groomer sale, here's what one payment costs.
- Square$2.36
- PayPal$3.03
- Stripe$2.35
- Credit Card Equipment$1.89
On a sale this size, PayPal's flat $0.49 is 16% of its fee, so the per-sale charge matters as much as the rate.
Equipment pet groomers use
A pocket reader paired with your phone works in a mobile van. A handheld with a built-in printer suits a salon front desk.

Does it work in a mobile grooming van?
Yes. Clover Go pairs with your phone and takes tap, chip and swipe payments wherever you have a signal.
Can clients tip on the card?
Yes. Tip options can show at checkout so the tip goes on the same payment.
Do I need a long-term contract?
No. Our plans are month to month with no early termination fee.
Can I keep my current equipment?
Often, yes. Many terminals can be reprogrammed. If yours can't, we'll set you up with a new one.
