Payment processing applies to every paid transaction at your plan’s rate. The 7% marketplace commission applies only when Petworking generated the transaction, so a client you brought yourself carries no commission at all.

Attribution is per transaction
If Petworking introduces a client once and six months later they book you directly, that later transaction is 0% commission. Attribution attaches to the transaction, never to the customer, so you never acquire a permanently commissioned client.
Registered rescues
A rescue pays no subscription on any tier.
Payment processing is 3.35% + $0.30, the lowest rate in the product, and marketplace commission is 0% on every transaction, including the ones Petworking generates. Permanently. Not a discount and not a promotion. An animal adopted from a registered rescue does not count towards a pet parent’s three-pet free plan either.
Move the slider to your own card volume. Every plan is priced against the same month, so the crossover point is visible rather than argued.

And what you save against what you run today
Two questions, two calculators, because putting them in one overstates the case. The first is what happens if you replace the software you pay for now. The second is what a client the marketplace brings you costs.
What you save switching from MoeGo
Plan against plan: your Petworking tier plus payment processing, against a named MoeGo tier plus Square in-person processing at 2.5%. Both sides have tiers, so pick the two that actually match your operation. The figure is whatever it is, including when it goes the other way.

Both sides exclude per-booking amounts: Petworking's $0.30 a transaction, and any fixed per-transaction charge on the other side. Petworking's 7% marketplace commission is excluded because it applies only to transactions Petworking generates, and is $0 on clients you bring yourself. MoeGo Starter: Salon, per location. Published by MoeGo. MoeGo publishes salon plans at $79, $149 and $239 a month per location, and mobile plans at $49, $99 and $159 per van, with card processing billed separately. Most of these vendors publish in US dollars while Petworking prices in Canadian dollars, which moves the crossover once converted. Vendor pricing changes, so check it before you decide.
What you save on a new client against Rover
Rover's published sitter fee is 20% of the bookings it delivers, 25% in California and on RoverGO, and it applies for as long as that client keeps booking. The Petworking marketplace commission is 7% on every plan, it applies only to a transaction Petworking generated, and it is $0 the next time that same client books you directly.
Your Petworking plan
Petworking, 7% once$35.00
Rover, 20% every time$100.00
$65.00a month kept on the same bookings$780 across a year
Rover figures use its published 20% sitter fee from Rover's help centre. California and RoverGO are 25%, an 11% booking fee is charged to the owner on top, and Rover is testing per-client tiers in selected cities. Payment processing applies to the transaction as well, as it does to every paid transaction, and it is a named rate rather than a hidden margin. A client who books you directly next time carries no marketplace commission at all.
Take the plan you landed on
The free plan has no card and no time limit. Start there, watch the two calculators, and change plan in either direction when the arithmetic says to.
Limits degrade with an explanation rather than a dead control. On the free plan, the locations screen states your current limit, names what Growth adds, and offers a route to change plan.
Questions we get asked
Is payment processing a separate charge?
It is its own named line at your plan’s rate, 4.25% down to 3.35% plus 30 cents. That is the whole card-processing figure and the processor is paid out of it by us, so you will not find a second charge stacked on top at checkout, on a statement, on a payout, or in an export.
How do payment processing and marketplace commission work?
Payment processing is 4.25%, 3.80%, 3.55% or 3.35% plus $0.30 on every paid transaction, depending on the plan. Marketplace commission is a separate 7% on every plan, and applies only to transactions Petworking generates. Customers you import, add yourself or bring through your own link or QR code carry no marketplace commission on those transactions.
Do I have to pick a plan to start?
No. The free plan has no time limit. Most businesses run on it for a while, watch the calculator above, and move up when the maths says to.
Can I change plans later?
Any time, in both directions. If you drop below a plan's limits we tell you what will be affected before anything changes, rather than switching things off and letting you discover it.
