Caliber Payments

Service payments that feel as polished as the service.

In a salon or spa, payment is the last step of the client experience. A smooth checkout — with an easy way to tip — matters.

Many also take deposits to reduce no-shows. Whether and how that fits depends on your booking system and setup.

Example payment flow

  1. 1Appointment booked
  2. 2Deposit collected if needed
  3. 3Service completed
  4. Checkout with tip

What to think about

Before you choose.

Tipping

How tips are prompted and recorded affects your staff and your reporting.

Deposits and no-shows

Deposits can be collected remotely where supported; we'll look at what fits your booking flow.

Front desk or chairside

A countertop terminal at reception or a handheld device that moves between stations.

Booking software

If you use appointment software, compatibility is checked during your review.

  • Mobile payments at the chair
  • Remote payments for deposits where supported

Equipment categories

  • Countertop terminals
  • Handheld and mobile terminals

Pricing worth discussing

Interchange plus. Clear view of costs when tickets and tips vary from client to client.

Dual pricing. Some salons consider it; service menus must show cash and card prices clearly.
