Pay Custom Amount

In Stripe, create this as "Customers choose what to pay," with a minimum amount if desired.

Before you pay

A few rules that protect everyone.

These rules exist so your payment lines up cleanly with an approved next step, your home access stays private, and your dog's care plan stays accurate.

  • Pay only after completing the Online Care Request or after Stephen has directed you to this page
  • Use the exact payment option Stephen named in your reply
  • For the custom payment, enter the exact dollar amount emailed to you
  • Do not enter door codes, alarm codes, lockbox codes, or medical details into Stripe checkout notes
  • Service is confirmed only after payment, scheduling confirmation, access review, and final care approval
  • Payment receipts are emailed by Stripe; keep them with your care records

What approved next step looks like

  • You submitted the Online Care Request
  • Stephen reviewed the dog, timing, location, and behavior notes
  • Stephen replied with a specific recommendation (Assessment, Overnight date-hold, or custom amount)
  • You came to this page and selected the matching option above
  • After payment, Stephen confirms dates, scope, and access details separately

This page is private. It is not linked from the main navigation or footer of the public site, and it includes noindex, nofollow, noarchive so search engines will not list it.

The three pay buttons above contain placeholder URLs. Replace them with your live Stripe Payment Links before sending anyone to this page.

Owner checklist

  • Suggested URL path: /secure-payments.html or /private/payments.html
  • Do not link this page from main navigation or the public footer
  • noindex, nofollow, noarchive already set in the head
  • Replace the three Stripe placeholder URLs with live Payment Links
  • For the custom amount, use Stripe Payment Links → "Customers choose what to pay"
  • Consider enabling Stripe email receipts and a brief description on each link
Not sure which option to pay?

Start with a short care request first.

Stephen reviews the dog, location, timing, behavior notes, and best-fit service path before any payment is requested.

Submitting a request does not obligate you to book and does not guarantee acceptance. It simply begins the fit-check process.
