When Plans Change, Stay Professional

Cancel a reservation cleanly: refund in full or in part, convert the deposit into a credit toward a future puppy, or enforce a forfeit — each with automatic customer emails.

What Refunds & Credits Does for Your Program

Sometimes a family backs out or plans change. Whelpify handles it cleanly — give the money back, keep part of it, or turn it into credit for a future puppy — with the buyer notified automatically.

Every outcome supported

Full refund, partial refund, credit toward a future litter or any puppy, or forfeited deposit — pick the outcome and Whelpify handles the rest.

Credits that apply themselves

Issued credits sit on the customer's account and apply automatically to their next reservation.
