What Petboost doesn't do
Features Petboost does not offer, and the alternative
7 guides
- How to Manage Timesheets & Payroll (What Petboost Doesn't Do)Petboost schedules your team and records who did each appointment, but it has no timesheets, clock in or payroll. Payroll software such as Xero Payroll, Employment Hero or Deputy runs alongside it.Updated 23 October 2026
- How to Integrate with Accounting Software (What Petboost Doesn't Do)Petboost does not connect directly to Xero, QuickBooks or MYOB. Card payments reach your accounting software from Stripe, through a Stripe bank feed in Xero or a Stripe app in QuickBooks, and a statement for your accountant downloads from Billing.Updated 28 October 2026
- Using Square, Tyro or Your Bank's EFTPOS Instead of Stripe (What Petboost Doesn't Do)Petboost takes card payments through Stripe only, so a Square, Tyro or bank terminal cannot connect to it. You can keep your own terminal at the counter and record those payments on the booking as Other EFTPOS.Updated 11 November 2026
- How to Run Email Marketing Campaigns (What Petboost Doesn't Do)Petboost does not send newsletters or promotional emails itself. It builds the list and the message, which open in your own email app, and a dedicated tool such as Mailchimp covers hosted sending, design and campaign analytics.Updated 28 September 2026
- How to Manage Retail Inventory (What Petboost Doesn't Do)Petboost sells retail products on invoices and quick sales, but it does not track stock. For stock levels, reorder alerts and barcodes, keep a spreadsheet or run a retail point-of-sale system alongside Petboost.Updated 9 October 2026
- Conditional Logic and Branching in Forms (What Petboost Doesn't Do)Petboost forms show every question to everyone who fills them in. They have no conditional logic, branching or page-by-page flow, so a third-party form can sit alongside Petboost for a client questionnaire that must branch.Updated 23 October 2026
- White-Label Branding (What Petboost Doesn't Do)Petboost is co-branded. Your business name, logo and colours lead on the pages and messages your customers see, and Petboost's name stays on them. There is no way to remove Petboost's branding completely, publish a custom-branded app or use your own domain.Updated 28 September 2026
