Why are secure payments through Good Dog better?

Learn all about the protection and exclusive benefits offered to you and your puppy buyers when using payments through Good Dog, the first ever secure online payment system built specifically for dog breeders.

You are protected when you accept payments through Good Dog. 

When you use payments through Good Dog, we stand behind you 100%. Our policies are designed to protect breeders, which is not the case on platforms like PayPal, Venmo, Facebook Pay, Cash App or Zelle, whose terms do not always support dog sales and who often provide no support for breeders. They often charge you and your buyers fees, take portions of your sales, and issue refunds to your buyers without notifying you first. Other payment platforms leave you with no recourse in the event of a fraudulent chargeback or puppy buyer dispute, which can cost you thousands of dollars a year. In fact, Venmo’s new Purchase Protection Program means Venmo can now issue a refund to a buyer directly from breeders' accounts (without breeders’ approval) in the event of a dispute. 

When you use payments through Good Dog, we guarantee your payments. Our Good Dog Breeder Payment Protection Policy protects our breeders from bounced checks, scams, canceled payments and fraudulent chargebacks. 

Paying through Good Dog makes puppy payments simpler than ever. 

With our all-in-one payment platform you will have access to free professional invoicing, centralized records so you can keep track of everything in one place, and much more!

Here’s how the process works: You send a payment request or share your unique payment link with a buyer. When the buyer completes the payment, the money is directly transferred to your preferred payout method, and you receive an email confirming that the payment has been successfully processed. 

You can even use our secured, guaranteed electronic payments during in-person pickups and with all of your puppy buyers, even ones that didn’t connect with you through Good Dog.

Accepting payments through Good Dog is always free for you. 

You invest so much in your breeding program, and it’s our turn to support you. Accepting payments through Good Dog has always been completely free for breeders. The same cannot be said for other platforms, like Venmo, which can now cost breeders 1.9% of the transaction plus a 10 cent fee.

Your buyers can also pay through Good Dog for free. When making a payment through Good Dog, your buyers have a choice. They can pay through Good Dog without paying any fees or they can decide to pay a small fee to receive Protection and Support from Good Dog. 

Buyer Protection and Support gives you and your puppy owners peace of mind. 

If your buyers choose to complete their payment through Good Dog with Protection and Support, they receive:

• Free access ($235 value) to our Puppy Training Program to help them during the critical first year with their new pup 
• Support from our world-class team of veterinarians and behaviorists who are here for your buyers if they have questions as a new dog owner 
• Protection on their payment so they can feel confident they are working with you, a responsible dog breeder

Paying with Protection and Support is completely optional, but it helps us run our organization, give back to our incredible breeders, and supports our mission to build a better world for our dogs and the people who love them.

Good Dog Puppy Training Program (a $235 value) sets your puppy owners up for success. 

Your buyers who complete their payments through Good Dog with Protection and Support receive free access (a $235 value) to our online Puppy Training Program. We developed this world-class puppy program with Dr. Gayle Watkins, PhD, breeders, trainers, and behaviorists with over 70 years of combined experience. The program includes online courses, live coaching, and detailed guides to help your buyers raise a healthy, happy dog

Your security is our top priority. 

That’s why when you accept payments through Good Dog, we use the most stringent security measures possible to protect sensitive information like addresses, card numbers, bank account information, and more. Paying and communicating directly through Good Dog is the only way for us to monitor and protect you, your buyers, and our community from fraud, scams, and other security issues, such as phishing. 

We’re giving back to dog breeders. 

Accepting payments through Good Dog is more than just the protection and benefits offered to you and your puppy buyers. It’s our way to give back to you, our incredible breeders, who invest so much in your dogs. We’re using technology to make all things payment-related easy and safe for you, so you can focus on what really matters -- your dogs, owners, and puppy buyers.
