What Jordan sees
Wildwood Pet Care, front and center. Not DirectPaw.
The booking link, the terms, and the receipt all carry your business name. You lead the relationship — DirectPaw runs quietly behind it.
Pricing, actually
Oh, sike.
DirectPaw is open source and free to use.
No monthly subscription. No locked features. The booking flow is yours to use, inspect, and build on. If it saves you time, feel free to support the project with a donation — genuinely optional.
