Modified on Thu, 3 Nov, 2022 at 12:05 PM

Getting Started Receiving Payments: You are able to accept multiple Payment Types including cash, check, bank transfer and electronic payments through Venmo and Zelle (US only). All payments you accept that are not made through Stripe (Stripe is a credit card and ACH processor linked with Pet Sitter Plus), are recorded manually after you receive the payment.

Note: To accept credit card payments with Stripe, see Getting Started: Accepting Online Payments.
