Salon and Spa Payments

Yes. Chair-side checkout lets a stylist or esthetician take payment on a tablet or mobile device at their station, so the client is not waiting at a front desk. They tap a card or phone, add a tip, and rebook in the same flow. For busy salons this clears the lobby and keeps the next client moving. Each transaction reports under the right service provider, so you always know who rang what. It runs on the same account as your front register.

The terminal prompts the client for a tip after the service, with suggested percentages on the service price, and the full tip routes to the stylist who performed the work. Tips calculate on the service amount, not on any dual pricing adjustment, which keeps it compliant and keeps stylists paid fairly. At close, tips report per provider so payroll or booth-rent reconciliation is clean. Both card-present and text-to-pay checkouts support tipping the same way.

Yes. Every stylist or booth renter can have a separate login so sales, tips, and retail attach to the right person automatically. You see daily and monthly totals per provider, which makes commission, payroll, and booth-rent settlements straightforward. Permissions can limit what each user sees, so a renter views only their own numbers while you see the whole salon. For commission shops, this removes the guesswork of who sold which color or treatment.

Yes. Dual pricing applies to service tickets and to retail product sales, so the card price recovers most of the processing fee on both. A client paying 180 for color plus 45 in product sees one card price and one lower cash price, and you keep margin on the full ticket. Retail already runs on thin markup, so recovering 2 to 3 percent there matters. The cash price is disclosed before payment, so the program stays compliant.

Yes. ProTech runs branded gift cards tied to your system, so a client buys a 150 dollar card, redeems part of it, and the balance tracks across visits and providers. Gift cards are strong before holidays and Mother's Day, and unredeemed balances stay your revenue until used. Rebooking can flow right out of checkout so the client books the next appointment while paying. Both run on the same account with one report at close.

There is no long-term contract and no termination fee, so you can leave if it does not fit the salon. Most salons and spas go live in 1 to 3 business days, including stylist logins and chair-side devices. Hardware is quoted up front with no hidden lease.
