Credit card fees are rising – and it can be hard to cover the cost without raising your prices, manually charging miscellaneous fees, or complicating your checkout process. That’s why we’ve introduced SalonBiz surcharging.
What is SalonBiz surcharging?
It’s a small and transparent charge added at checkout to help cover the cost of credit card processing fees. So instead of absorbing 2-3% of every transaction, you can keep more of what you make. It’s a tiny cost to clients, that can add up to big savings for your salon.
Here’s why you’ll love it:
- Surcharges mean rising credit card fees don’t have to dictate your pricing
- The surcharge is automatically applied – no manual calculations needed
- It’s predictable, compliant and aligns with Visa and Mastercard rules
- The amount is clearly displayed at checkout – no surprises for clients
- Price-sensitive clients can choose another way to pay to avoid fees – so they feel in control
- You can turn surcharging on or off whenever it suits your business
- It’s easy for you to activate, for staff to use, and for your accountant to track
