This guide is for agents quoting hardware for a pet groomer, self-serve dog wash, mobile grooming van, dog daycare or boarding kennel. Appointment-based, often sold as packages or memberships, with pickup and drop-off at a front desk and a shelf of shampoo, treats and accessories beside it. For the full catalogue of devices and the rules behind every quote, see Stackably hardware options and bundles (Sunmi).
The short version
P3H or P3 MIX at the front desk, your call. Both run the calendar, packages, memberships and tipping.
No network, no printer, no Ubiquiti. The terminal prints receipts.
Mobile grooming van: P3H + SIM card.
Retail at the desk → P3 MIX for the scanner, drawer and label printer.
Second device for a second groomer or the daycare check-in: P3H, upsell only.
The builds to quote
Shop | Mobile van | |
Terminal | P3H, or P3 MIX on swivel cradle if they sell retail or want the bigger calendar | P3H + SIM card |
Tip prompt | Hand over the P3H, swivel the P3 MIX, or add the 6.7" CFD | Hand the device to the owner at the door |
Receipts | Built in | Built in |
Retail (shampoo, treats, accessories) | P3 MIX + handheld scanner; label printer by USB if they tag stock | Rung up by name on the P3H |
Cash drawer | Optional on the P3 MIX | None |
Ubiquiti network | No | No |
Upsell: a P3H for a second groomer, the daycare check-in counter, or the boarding desk. Offer; do not add by default.
The network rule, in pet-care terms
No kitchen, no printer away from the desk, no KDS, no Ubiquiti. The terminal prints its own receipt over the shop Wi-Fi. A label printer for retail price tags plugs into the P3 MIX by USB or into the shop's own router by Ethernet; neither needs the network. Do not add a network line unless the merchant asks to opt in.
Packages, memberships and recurring visits
Software, not hardware, but it decides the quote. Groomers sell "every six weeks" plans, daycares sell day-passes in packs, boarders charge per night. All of it runs on either device, and a client's package or membership is added and redeemed at the desk. One desk device covers most shops; the P3 MIX earns its place when the desk also sells retail or the owner wants the calendar and the day's appointments side by side.
Accessories for pet care
Swivel cradle. Ships with the P3 MIX. Turn it for tip and signature.
6.7" CFD. P3 MIX only. A fixed customer screen at the desk so the device stays put while a client juggles a leash. Additional charge.
Handheld scanner with base. For retail barcodes. P3 MIX only in this vertical.
Label printer. For shops that price-tag retail. USB to the P3 MIX, or Ethernet to the shop's router; no Ubiquiti either way. Built-in scanner. P3 MIX only in this vertical.
Cash drawer. P3 MIX only. Sunmi MAX or the third-party drawer we resell (confirm model with the Stackably team).
SIM card. Required for a mobile van. $20 per month.
Scale. Brecknell 6702U-30 for shops that sell bulk treats or food by weight. P3 MIX only in this vertical.
Edge cases
"Mobile grooming van, no shop." P3H + SIM card. Prints the receipt at the door. The cradle charges off the van's inverter between stops.
"Shop plus a van." Desk device at the shop (P3H or P3 MIX) and a P3H + SIM in the van, both on the same merchant account.
"Two groomers, each their own business, sharing a shop." One device per merchant account. Two P3Hs.
"Daycare check-in is at a different door from the grooming desk." A P3H at the daycare door as the upsell second device. Same account.
"They want clients to tip without taking the device." P3 MIX with the 6.7" CFD, or swivel the cradle.
"They sell food and treats and want to scan." P3 MIX with the handheld scanner, or the label printer by USB with its built-in scanner if they also tag. No network.
"They sell bulk treats by the pound." P3 MIX with the Brecknell scale.
"They want a deposit for a boarding reservation." Software. Send the invoice; the client pays the deposit on their phone.
"The Wi-Fi doesn't reach the grooming tables." If the groomer wants to check out at the table, the P3H needs Wi-Fi there or a SIM card. Otherwise clients pay at the desk.
"They want the big screen." A T3 works (CPad Pay or CFD + SmartPad by preference) but is more than most groomers need. The P3 MIX is the sensible upper end.
