What salons need

Built for appointments and walk-ins

Pay at the chair

A portable terminal lets clients pay where they sit, without queuing at the desk.

Deposits for bookings

Send a secure payment link when a client books, to cut down on no-shows.

Next-day settlement

Today's takings in your bank the next working day.

FAQ

Card machine questions from salons and barbers

Straight answers before you switch.

Talk to our team
Can I take a deposit when a client books?

Yes. You can send a secure payment link by text or email when the booking is made, or take the payment over the phone.

What card machine is best for a barbershop?

A portable terminal like the PAX A920 Pro lets clients pay at the chair. If everyone pays at the desk, a countertop PAX A35 works well.

Tipping on the terminal can be set up for many businesses. Ask us and we'll confirm what's available for your account.

Can I switch if I'm still in a contract?

Often, yes. Send us your statement and we'll look into it. In some cases, subject to approval, we can help with the exit fee.
