Retail Tools Weren’t Built for Taxidermy

For years, taxidermists have been forced to shoehorn their businesses into software and payment systems built for retail. Generic POS platforms can handle a quick sale, but they break down when it comes to complex jobs, shifting timelines, and payments spread out over months.

The result? Shops are left juggling payments across PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, checks, and cards — often cobbling together multiple services or paying extra just to get paid. Systems like QuickBooks have been helpful, especially with our official QuickBooks integration, but even there you can’t pass on 100% of processing fees.

Other POS systems don’t allow passing fees at all, leaving taxidermists footing the bill. Taxidermy is not t-shirt retail selling and that’s why we built the world’s first Point of Sale system made exclusively for the taxidermy industry.

The Solution: A POS That Speaks Taxidermy

MountMonitor is the first Point of Sale system built specifically for taxidermists. It brings together in-person payments, online payments, and automated payment plans in one system, all fully connected to your jobs.

Every transaction updates job statuses and invoices instantly, keeping your records accurate without double entry. Unlike other systems, MountMonitor also lets you pass on 100% of processing fees, putting thousands of dollars back into your business and pocket each year instead of lost to overhead.

Accept Card Payments In-Person

Take payments face to face with ease, whether it’s a swipe, tap, insert, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Every transaction runs through a secure card reader that connects directly to MountMonitor, syncing to the correct job with payment status updated instantly and invoices adjusted automatically. There are no extra steps and no double entry, only fast and seamless payments at the counter. To get you started, every MountMonitor account includes a free card reader valued at $299.99*

Online Card & Bank Payments

Give your clients the freedom to pay you directly through your branded client portal. Every invoice includes a secure
“Pay Now” button, so clients can settle balances the moment they receive them with no extra steps and no confusion.

Whether they choose a card for instant confirmation or a bank transfer for lower fees, payments are fast, secure, and automatically tied back to the correct job. By making it effortless for clients to pay right from their phone or computer, you eliminate delays, stop chasing balances, and see cash flow improve naturally. Clients pay faster when the process is simple.

Flexible Auto-Charge Payment Plans

Set up recurring payments that fit the way you run your shop. Eight payments, one month apart? Done. With MountMonitor, clients save a card or bank account on file, and the system automatically charges them on schedule without you lifting a finger.

All payment details are handled with PCI Level 1 compliance, the highest security standard in the industry, so both you and your clients have total peace of mind. Once a payment method is on record, there is no more chasing balances weeks or months after the excitement of the hunt has faded.

By giving clients the option to pay incrementally without the overhead or complexity of “buy now, pay later” services, you make it easier for them to commit while you implement steady, predictable cash flow that keeps your business running smoothly.

Contracts and Signatures, Built In

No more juggling separate e-signature apps, paper contracts, or endless email back and forth. With MountMonitor, contracts are built directly into your workflow. They are customizable, professional, and automatically updated with job details so each one is tailored without extra effort.

Clients can sign in person or remotely through the client portal, and the contract is automatically saved to the job. This gives you trackable, digitized paperwork without the hassle of printing, scanning, or chasing signatures.

What This Unlocks for Your Shop

This isn’t just about taking payments. It’s about running a modern taxidermy business without the friction:

  • No more chasing clients for checks or balances long after the work is done.
  • No more patchwork of PayPal, Venmo, or retail POS systems that don’t fit.
  • No more double entry or disconnected tools to track payments against jobs.

Instead, everything happens in one system built for taxidermy from the ground up. Contracts, payments, and job tracking stay connected, giving you steady cash flow and a professional client experience that retail tools simply can’t match.
