Service revenue, product retail, gift cards, and tips on one account.
Salon, barbershop, and day-spa processing with chair-rental support, integrated tipping, gift-card programs, and product retail handled on a single merchant account.
Salons and spas mix service revenue (haircuts, color, massage, facials), product retail (shampoo, skincare), gift cards, and tips into one transaction stream. Most operators are running booking software (Vagaro, Mindbody, Boulevard, Square Appointments) that handles scheduling and customer profiles, but the processing economics underneath are usually flat-rate aggregator pricing. On a salon doing $50K/month with high tip-percentage volume, switching to interchange-plus typically saves $300-$700/month. We configure tip-on-receipt, chair-rental commission split (where the operator wants it), gift-card issuance, and product retail on a single account that integrates with the booking software the front desk already uses.
No. We integrate as the processing rails underneath your existing booking software. The stylist's iPad workflow does not change; the back-end fees, tip handling, and gift-card programs improve.
Two structures. Master-merchant with sub-merchants: each stylist gets their own merchant ID and funding deposit, with a small platform fee retained at the rail. Or single-merchant with split-funding: one account that automatically splits each ticket between operator and stylist on a per-transaction basis. We configure either structure based on how the shop operates.
Yes. Unlimited-haircut memberships, monthly facial subscriptions, and product clubs run as recurring billing on cards-on-file. Network tokenization keeps the credentials live through reissues, which matters because a churned member from a failed payment is a lost customer who probably did not intend to leave.
