    Step five

    Put booking where your customers are

    Use the option that suits your website: paste the JavaScript availability widget, add a ready-made booking button, or share a direct DogFieldHQ link. Your customers choose a live slot and continue through secure checkout.

Your money, your Stripe account

Payments go straight into the Stripe setup you control.

DogFieldHQ uses Stripe Connect so your customer payments are handled through your connected Stripe account. The money is yours, and Stripe manages the payout to your bank account according to your payout and settlement settings.

Daily rolling payouts by default

Stripe says Connect funds are paid out on a daily rolling basis by default. Exact arrival depends on Stripe settlement timing, your connected account settings and your bank.

You can manage payout settings in Stripe. DogFieldHQ does not hold your booking money.
