INDUSTRIES • BEAUTY & WELLNESS
Payments as smooth
as the service you provide.
Booking deposits, tips, memberships and retail sales on one account — connected to your booking software where possible and set up on the processor that fits your salon, spa or studio.
THE CHALLENGE
Your chair time is your inventory.
What salon, spa and studio owners tell us costs them money.
01
No-shows and last-minute cancellations
An empty chair or treatment room can't be resold. Without deposits or a card on file, missed bookings come straight off the bottom line.
02
Tips shared between staff
Clients want to tip at the terminal, and owners need clear tip reports for each stylist, therapist or instructor.
03
Memberships and packages
Monthly memberships, class passes and treatment packages need reliable recurring billing and easy card updates.
04
Retail sales on the side
Products sold at the front desk need inventory tracking and the same smooth checkout as services.
WHAT SAVPAY SETS UP

We configure the processor, terminals and booking connections around your appointments, classes and products.
Deposits & no-show protection
Collect deposits when clients book and charge no-show fees to a card on file, according to your policy.
Tips by staff member
