Farrier barn invoicing & reminders

At a commercial boarding barn, a farrier may shoe six horses in a single morning—each owned by a different boarder, some paying by check left on the stall door, others by Venmo, cash, or credit card.

Traditional software treats every barn visit as a single ticket or crashes when you try to split charges across horse owners. BarnSplit records payment per horse with strict idempotency:

• Flexible Payment Types: Record cash in envelope, check number, card recorded via your own mobile reader, or electronic transfer (Venmo/Zelle).
• Tip and Surcharge Accounting: Log tips cleanly alongside the base service and therapeutic pad surcharges.
• Idempotent Ledger: Tapping save twice with dusty or wet fingers will never double-charge or create phantom ledger entries. The payment is recorded once and locked.

Nothing disrupts a shoeing schedule like arriving at a barn to find a horse turned out in a 40-acre pasture or the owner forgot to leave payment. BarnSplit automates visit reminders:

• Automated 24-Hour Queue: Opening the today agenda automatically identifies upcoming visits within 24 hours and queues reminders for each horse owner.
• Email Logging: Email notifications are logged to the local practice outbox with full timestamps and visit details.
• Zero Carrier Surcharges: SMS notifications utilize a clean carrier stub path so you are never surprised by expensive per-text carrier fees or third-party SMS aggregator charges.
• Opt-Out Compliance: All reminders include CAN-SPAM compliant unsubscribe options via /unsubscribe.

Many generic field-service apps demand that you run all transactions through their proprietary payment gateway, skimming 3.2% to 3.9% off every shoeing.

BarnSplit does not charge card processing fees or hold your funds. You keep your existing Square reader, Clover terminal, bank accounts, or cash ledger. BarnSplit costs a simple, predictable $19/mo flat for your whole practice.
