Ways to pay
Your salon credit card payment options should cover every way clients want to pay—at the front desk, in the chair, or online. Salon CC processing with PayKings includes:
PayKings supplies credit card terminals for salons of every size and layout, so your hardware fits the way your floor actually runs.
Whether you need a single salon credit card machine or a full set of salon payment processing equipment, our team matches hardware to your volume, staff count, and floor plan.
A salon CC payment gateway is what moves money securely when the client isn't standing in front of you. PayKings' payment gateway connects to your website and booking software:
One integrated payment platform for online and in-salon card transactions, all settling to the same salon merchant account.
POS & software
PayKings offers salon credit card software and integrated payment processing that make it easy to manage card payments, track invoices, and simplify salon management.
With salon software credit card processing, the entire flow stays connected — no double entry and no end-of-day mismatches:
Our salon POS credit card integration works across iOS, Android, and web-based systems, so you can monitor sales, cash flow, and customer behavior in real time from one intuitive dashboard on your desktop, tablet, or smartphone.
Security
Protect your salon and your customers with PayKings' advanced encryption and fraud prevention tools.
Our credit card machines, payment gateways, and merchant accounts are designed with top-tier data security—so every credit card transaction is safe and compliant.
Our partnerships with trusted acquiring banks ensure fast funding to your merchant account, helping to keep your cash flow healthy and predictable. Benefits include:
Mobile payments
Booth and chair renters, mobile stylists, and on-location teams need payments that travel. PayKings' mobile payment processing pairs a card reader with the phone or tablet you already carry, so salon mobile payment processing works in the chair, at a client's home, or on site for weddings and events.
No shared cash drawer required. It's the same secure processing as your countertop setup, sized for wherever the work happens. Each stylist or technician can:
Accounts & pricing
Many traditional processors flag salons as high risk because no-shows and service disputes can drive above-average chargebacks. PayKings specializes in exactly that: our merchant services for salons start with a high-risk merchant account underwritten for your business.
Approval is straightforward—complete the application, submit standard business documentation, and our dedicated onboarding specialists handle setup with fast approvals for new merchant accounts.
Choose the pricing model that fits your salon. Either way, our salon merchant account services come with no long-term contract and a waivable early termination fee—no contract credit card processing for salons.
That's low-fee salon payment processing without the fine print.
