### ⚠️ But Keep in Mind

| Issue                                  | With Wix                                                            |
| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| ❌ No pet profiles                      | Only customer names, no animal records                              |
| ❌ No boarding/daycare module           | Only per-hour or per-session bookings                               |
| ❌ Limited reporting                    | No detailed revenue or staff commission data                        |
| ❌ Business app ecosystem is fragmented | Need multiple Wix apps for payments, CRM, email                     |
| ❌ Costs can increase                   | Add-ons like POS, Automations, and Ascend require higher-tier plans |
