Feature of the month - Online payments
We know how busy you can be in your Salon, why not make things that little bit easier by having your customers purchase their services online beforehand. With our online payments feature you can have customers pay deposits prior to their appointment's or pay the full service amount to speed up the check in process. What's not to love?
How do online payments work?
On our Enterprise package you will have access to
your very own personlised online page with the options of booking and shop.
This means that your customers can select what they would like to book in for and
see what days and times are available. You can then choose whether you want
your customers to pay the service in full or just a deposit. If you prefer the use of walk ins at your salon you can still benefit from an online page
as clients can still pay for services online and then come into the salon with that
service stored on their account ready to use. Salon Tracker's online payment
feature gives customers the options of entering bank details manually or they
can use Apple pay, Google Pay and Klarna. Once a payment is completed online it
automatically syncs with your Salon Tracker so that you don't miss a
thing.
Online Bookings-
On your very own customised booking page you can
list all of your available services and times for your customers to look
through and select. They can then pay for this booking whilst they are online
using our different payment options. This payment feature is guaranteed to
streamline your payment process leading to lower wait times and higher customer
satisfaction.
Deposits -
Are you wanting to reduce no shows?
Online deposits are the way to go, you can set either a percentage amount or a
flat rate, such as £10, for each service that you offer. When the customer
comes in for their appointment they just have the remaining amount to
pay, which Salon Tracker will work our for you. This deposit feature is proven
to reduce your customers no shows and ensure your salon is always booming.
Online payments isn't just
useful for bookings, you can also set up a shop feature where your customers
can purchase a service in advance without making a booking. If you offer a walk
in service at your salon this would be a perfect option. Having your clients
purchase their service in advance will speed up your check in time so that you
can focus solely on the customers experience.
How would online payments
benefit your Salon?
- Online payments can increase your customers experience as they can
make a payment from the comfort of their own homes and provides 24/7
accessibility to your services so that they can fit in with their own
schedules.
- It reduces both staff and customers time as payments can be handled
in advance meaning they can enjoy their experience and you can focus on
providing an amazing service.
- Using online payments means you can finally go cashless. The past
few years has seen a shift from cash to contactless with increase in Apple
pay, online shopping and Klarna. Now your Salon can do the same!
- Our online payment feature gives you the option to use Apple pay,
Google Pay and Klarna. These flexible payment options gives your clients a
wider variety of payments and can pay using a platform that suits
them.
