The Salon Margin Challenge

Salons and spas have good margins on services. But processing fees, combined with tip complications and fragmented systems, eat into profit. A salon processing $20,000/month pays $500โ€“$700 in fees โ€” money that should be yours.

Clover POS: The Salon Operating System

Clover is a complete point-of-sale platform built to handle salon operations. Service payments, retail products, tip management, appointment integration, and multi-stylist tracking โ€” all in one intuitive system.

๐Ÿ’‡

Service & Retail Sales

Track service tickets and retail product sales in one system. See which stylists are selling retail products, run promotions, manage inventory, and understand your product mix without manual tracking.

๐Ÿ’ณ

Integrated Tip Management

Clover's built-in tip processing handles the salon workflow. Tips are added after the service is complete, just like a restaurant. Straightforward, familiar to your clients, and zero confusion.

๐Ÿ“…

Booking Software Integration

Clover integrates with popular salon booking platforms. Depending on your current system (Vagaro, Booksy, StyleSeat), we'll ensure compatibility. Appointments sync seamlessly with payments and inventory.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ

Multi-Stylist Tracking

Track sales and commissions by stylist. See which stylists are top performers, who's driving retail sales, and commission payouts in real time. No spreadsheets, no math errors.

๐Ÿ“Š

Booth Renter Management

Set up independent processing accounts for booth renters. Each stylist manages their own payments independently. Flexible arrangements without the complexity of multiple systems.

๐Ÿ“ฑ

Mobile Checkout

Move around the salon with mobile terminals. Ring up services on the salon floor, process retail sales anywhere, and take payments without making clients come to the desk.

Tip Handling with Cash Discount

Tips are processed separately and are not subject to the service fee. Your clients add their tip after seeing the service fee on the screen โ€” just like at a restaurant. The process is familiar and hasn't been an issue for any of our salon clients.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

Two-Step Payment Process

Client sees the service fee. Clover displays the amount and explains the fee. Client then adds their tip (if they choose) on top. Tips flow separately and are not subject to the service fee โ€” only the service is.

โœ…

Client Acceptance

This process is familiar from restaurants and many other service businesses. Clients understand and expect it. Our salon clients report zero pushback on tips โ€” if anything, tips often increase because the tip decision comes after the service experience is fresh.

Salon clients are used to tipping for services. The cash discount program applies to the service only. Tips are always optional and separate. This transparency actually increases client confidence in your pricing.

Booking Software Compatibility

If you use appointment booking software, Clover works seamlessly with popular salon platforms. We'll confirm compatibility with your system during setup and ensure your booking workflow integrates smoothly with payments.

๐Ÿ“…

Vagaro, Booksy, StyleSeat

Clover has App Market integration with several popular booking platforms. If you're on Vagaro, Booksy, StyleSeat, or similar software, we'll confirm compatibility and set up the connection.

๐Ÿ”„

Seamless Sync

Appointments sync to your Clover register. When a client checks in, their service details are ready. No manual entry. No mistakes. Your stylists know the service, the price, and any add-ons.

If you're using a booking system we don't have direct integration with, Clover's flexible architecture still works. We'll find a workflow that keeps your operations smooth.

Booth Rentals & Independent Stylists

Many salon owners work with independent booth renters. Total Payment Solutions can set up individual processing accounts for each stylist, so they manage their own payments independently while you maintain control of the overall salon setup.

๐Ÿ’ผ

Independent Accounts

Each booth renter gets their own merchant account. They process their own payments, see their own statements, and manage their own fees. Clear separation with no complication.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ

Single Salon Owner Account

Or keep everything under the salon owner. Set up multiple employee profiles in Clover so each stylist has a login, but all payments flow to one account. Commission tracking and tip splitting are handled automatically.

Whether your stylists are W2 employees, 1099 contractors, or booth renters, we have a payment setup that works for your salon model.

Why Salons & Spas Choose Total Payment Solutions

What Salon & Spa Owners Say

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

"We were using Vagaro for booking and Square for payments โ€” two different systems, two different logins, impossible to track retail. Total Payment Solutions set us up with Clover, integrated it with Vagaro, and we went from managing three systems to one. Processing fees dropped from $600/month to $100. Total clarity on our business."

Jennifer Walsh
Owner, Bliss Salon + Spa (Raleigh, NC)

"I run a spa with six massage therapists and two estheticians. The tip processing was a nightmare before. Clover handles it perfectly โ€” clients see the service price, they see the tip option, no confusion. I can track individual stylist sales and payouts in seconds. Best decision I've made for the business."

Salon Processing Questions

How does tip handling work with cash discount at a salon?

Tips are processed separately and are not subject to the service fee. Your clients add their tip after seeing the service fee on the screen, just like at a restaurant. The process is familiar and hasn't been an issue for any of our salon clients. If anything, tips often increase because the tip decision comes after the service experience is fresh.

Can I track retail product sales and services in the same system?

Yes. Clover handles both service tickets and retail product inventory in one system. You can track which stylists are selling retail, run promotions, and manage stock levels โ€” all in one place. No separate inventory system. No manual tracking. Just one dashboard.

Do you work with booth renters and independent stylists?

We do. We can set up individual processing accounts for booth renters so each stylist manages their own payments independently. We can also set up a single salon account with multiple employee profiles, so stylists have individual logins but all payments flow to the salon owner. Choose the model that fits your business.

Does Clover integrate with salon booking software?

Clover integrates with several popular booking platforms through the App Market, including options compatible with Vagaro, Booksy, and similar platforms. We'll confirm compatibility with your specific software during setup to ensure seamless sync between your appointments and payments.

Is there a long-term contract?

No contracts. We operate month-to-month. If you decide to leave for any reason, there's no termination fee. We earn your business every month. This applies to both payment processing and Clover POS.
