The problem

Every no-show is money out of your book.

An empty chair costs you the whole appointment. The payment setup should protect your book, not just ring up the service.

No-shows and late cancels

Keep a card on file when the appointment is booked, so you can charge your no-show or late-cancel fee under the policy your clients agree to.

Deposits for long services

Take a deposit by payment link or card on file when the client books, for color, extensions, and med spa treatments.

Tips at checkout

Clients add a tip on the terminal when they pay, so stylists and barbers aren't waiting on cash.

Booking that's tied to one processor

Booking in Cojilio? It connects to the same merchant account. If your booking software takes payments through its own processor, we check whether it can run on a new one before anything changes.

Pricing options

Three ways to price a salon.

Salons and spas go either way. Dual pricing offsets the card cost when your service menu and receipts show both prices. If you'd rather keep one price for every client, interchange-plus keeps the markup fixed and visible. Your statements show which one costs you less.

$0-fee option

Dual pricing

Two prices on every ticket: one for cash, one for card. Card customers cover the card cost. The card price applies to all cards, debit included.

Example: a color service with a $120.00 cash price shows a $124.80 card price, a 4% difference. This is an example, not a quote. Your card price is set when we set up your program.

How dual pricing works →

$0-fee option

Cash discount

One posted price, with a discount for customers who pay cash. We set up the signage and receipts so it's clear at checkout.

Cash discount vs. dual pricing →

One price for everyone

Interchange-plus

You pay what the card networks charge, plus a fixed markup you can see on every statement. Your customers see one price.

Common questions

Straight answers.

Can I charge a no-show fee to a card on file?

Yes, when clients agree to your cancellation policy at booking and you keep their card on file. We set up the card-on-file side; the policy is yours to set.

Can I keep my booking software?

Often, yes. Our setup works alongside many booking systems, and we confirm yours before anything changes. If its payments are locked to its own processor, we tell you up front.

Do med spas count as high-risk?

Some do, depending on the services. We tell you what to expect before you apply.

Do I have to buy the hardware?

Qualifying merchants get terminals or POS at $0 upfront. We tell you what you qualify for before anything is ordered.

Is there a contract?

The processing agreement we set up is month-to-month, with no cancellation fee.
