Use your unique payment link
You can also ask a buyer to pay you through your personal secure Good Dog payment link. You can access and share your link from your Payments dashboard, and with your referral links here.

🐾 To collect payments using your link, simply send your link to a buyer (or post the link to your personal website) and they'll be able to enter an amount and complete a secure payment. If the buyer is completing a deposit or dog payment, you'll see the deduction applied (unless this was a buyer you referred to Good Dog) and your payout amount when the payment is complete prior to you accepting it.

🐾 As soon as a payment is made, you'll receive an email receipt confirming that your payment has been received and paid out to your preferred payout method.


After a payment is completed
After the buyer completes the payment, you'll receive a receipt via email confirming the payment was successful, and the money will be paid out directly to your preferred payout method.

🐾 A record of the payment will also be stored on your Payments dashboard and in your chat with the buyer.

🐾 If you haven't set up your preferred payout method yet, the money will sit safely in your Good Dog account until you specify how you'd like to receive it in your Payment Settings.

A few helpful reminders

🐾 The buyer has the option to pay with zero fees at the time of payment and will clearly see Good Dog's Buyer Protection & Support Fee and its benefits displayed separately from your prices.

🐾 You'll always receive a receipt via email after your buyer has made a payment that instantly verifies the payment. The receipt will also summarize where the money was paid out to and how long it will take to reach your account.

Don't forget...
To manage secure payments, make sure you have a payout method set up.
