Does Gingr charge per-transaction fees?

Gingr's payment processing is handled through its integrated payment system with associated processing fees. CanineOps uses a flat subscription model and operators connect their own payment processor, keeping all revenue at their processor's standard rates.

Can CanineOps handle training programs and boarding in one platform?

Yes. CanineOps is built to manage both boarding operations (reservations, kennel board view, check-in/out) and structured training programs (milestones, daily report cards, trainer assignments) within the same platform and under the same client record.

Which platform is better for multi-location businesses?

CanineOps was architected for multi-location from the start, with per-location data isolation, cross-location analytics, and role-based access that scopes staff to their assigned locations. Multi-location support is available on Professional and Platinum plans.

How does CanineOps compare to Gingr on client-facing features?

Both platforms offer client portals. CanineOps provides real-time stay updates, daily report cards, photo sharing, and invoice/payment access — with portal access automatically scoped to active stays and revoked at checkout.

Where the business models diverge

Gingr's model

Gingr charges a monthly subscription based on your tier. On top of that, payments processed through their integrated system carry transaction fees. As your revenue grows, so does the effective cost of using the platform.

Revenue impact: A facility processing $20,000/month through Gingr's integrated payments could see meaningful transaction fees — a growing implicit cost that scales with your business.

CanineOps's model

CanineOps charges a flat monthly subscription regardless of your revenue or booking volume. You connect your own payment processor (Stripe, Square, or others) at your own rates. The software cost is fixed and predictable.

Revenue impact: Zero. You keep 100% of every payment you collect. Your subscription stays flat whether you process $5,000 or $50,000 per month.

Frequently asked questions

The most significant operational difference is the pricing model. Gingr charges a monthly subscription plus takes a percentage of payments processed through its platform. CanineOps charges a flat monthly subscription with no per-transaction fees — operators keep 100% of their revenue. CanineOps also integrates formal training program management, milestone tracking, and multi-role access into all plans.

CanineOps has an onboarding process that includes data migration assistance for client records, pet profiles, and historical bookings. Contact our team via the demo or contact page to discuss migration options for your specific setup.

CanineOps covers the full boarding operational stack: reservations, kennel board view, check-in/out, invoicing, client portal, and reporting. It also adds training program management, milestone tracking, and stronger RBAC in a single platform. Use the demo to walk through the full feature set.

The savings depend on your monthly payment volume and the transaction fee rate you're paying. Facilities processing $10,000–$30,000/month in client payments through a platform that charges even 1–2% per transaction can recover that cost many times over with a flat-subscription alternative. Calculate your specific scenario and compare against CanineOps's pricing page.
