What about cash?
Recording a cash sale in Parlors POS has no card booking fee. You can still keep the sale in your transaction records.
Free software. Clear pricing.
Tattooer and parlor accounts have no monthly software subscription or feature tiers. Here is how card payments work, before you create an account.
Build your profile, publish services, organize appointments and clients, and use the POS tools without a monthly software charge. Tattooer and parlor accounts follow the same $0 monthly software model.
Card payment example
The client sees the fee before paying.
A 4% client-paid booking fee is added to card payments. For a $100 card payment with no tax or tip, the booking fee is $4 and the client pays $104.
If the client is paying a booking deposit instead of the whole service price, the checkout fee is applied to the amount being collected at that checkout, including any applicable sales tax.
What about processing?
Card processing is provided through a merchant account. Merchant approval, processing terms, payouts, refunds, disputes, and any provider charges are governed by your provider agreement.
Questions before you start.
Do I need hardware?
No dedicated card reader is required for the QR payment workflow. You use your browser, and clients pay from their own phones. You need a compatible device and an internet connection.
Can I create an account before activating card payments?
Yes. Build your profile and explore the tools first. Live card checkout requires an approved and activated merchant account; approval is not automatic.
Is the booking fee a monthly subscription?
No. It is a fee shown to the client on card checkout. It is separate from the $0 monthly software model and from the tattooer’s own service or deposit amount.
Are sales tax and tips included in the example?
No. The $104 example assumes a $100 card payment with no tax or tip. Your checkout shows applicable amounts. Optional sales tax can be configured in your account.
Where can I see the tools first?
Explore the sample dashboard and sample tattooer profile. Then create your own account when you are ready.
