A trusted way to buy and sell pets. PawPay makes payments simple and secure

PawPay is a secure payment service that protects both pet buyers and breeders by holding funds safely until the buyer confirms they’ve received their pet. Instead of paying the breeder directly, your money is kept in escrow and only released once you're happy with the delivery—helping prevent scams and ensuring peace of mind.
