Happy Monday, StyleSeat Community!
Now more than ever, Professionals are embracing the benefits of online payments — and so are their clients. Consumer expectations are high for seamless payment processes that don’t take much time or effort.
That’s why StyleSeat offers a payments option that affords you flexibility and ushers clients through transactions with ease. Explore ten reasons to adopt StyleSeat Payments today, and watch your bottom line grow.
1. Contactless Payments
- StyleSeat Payments provide a quick, safe, and easy way for clients to check out. Clients provide credit card information at the time of booking and then pay from their phone with one click when the appointment ends. They’ll receive a text with the service total and a link to add a tip. You don’t have to handle clients’ credit cards, cash, or checks, and clients don’t crowd the front desk waiting their turn to check out. Faster checkout and fewer germs for the win!
2. Earn More Tips
- StyleSeat clients tip an average of 40 percent higher when they pay through StyleSeat as opposed to paying directly. Allowing appointments to charge automatically behind the scenes lets you focus on building relationships and providing experiences — without your client even pulling out their wallet.
3. Tap to Pay on iPhone
- Give your clients the option to pay in person — no reader needed! It’s fast and convenient with no additional cost. Learn more about how to set up Tap to Pay here.
4. Get Paid for No-Shows
- Easily enforce your cancellation policy with no-show protection! With StyleSeat Payments, you can charge clients who back out last-minute or don’t show. Plus, online billing is more secure than swiping a credit card — guaranteeing your payment.
5. Instantly Deposit to Your Bank
- With StyleSeat Payments, you can deposit your earnings in your bank immediately after charging your client. Instantly deposit your StyleSeat balance with a low processing fee, which doesn’t increase if you manually enter the client’s card during checkout.
6. Stay Organized
- Analyze your business growth with the revenue dashboard! Charging through StyleSeat helps you keep transaction records neatly in one place. With revenue reports, you can view your past earnings by day, week, month, or year to see your business performance over time. Compare your total revenue, tips, fees, and historical data for complete insight into your revenue patterns.
7. Smart Pricing
- Get paid what your time is really worth with Smart Pricing. Our data science team analyzes your business, identifies your most popular time slots, and strategically raises your rates at those times to match your true value. This means clients who need your premium slots can secure them for a small payment increase, while clients with more flexibility book other slots at your minimum price. Smart Pricing even adds a 20 percent tip to the fee, though clients can adjust this later to the tip amount of their choice. And because Smart Pricing does all of this automatically, you earn more without lifting a finger.
8. StyleSeat Promotions
- Over 30% of Clients said a discount would make them try a new service. That’s why we use offers to turn those Clients into bookings. The best news is these offers come at no additional cost or revenue loss to you. StyleSeat Promotions are a part of our New Client Connections program where we take care of the marketing to connect you with high-quality clients.
9. Meet New Clients
- You want to find reliable clients. Clients want to find reliable Pros. Let StyleSeat do the rest with our New Client Connection feature. It matches you with high-paying regulars who are looking for a lasting beauty relationship with a competent Pro. Gain exposure to the millions of clients who already use StyleSeat Payments and brace yourself for bookings.
10. Buy Now, Pay Later
- Drive bookings for higher-priced services by giving your clients the option to buy now and pay later with Klarna. This feature allows clients to break large payments into easy installments. They pay one quarter of the total service fee (including tip) on the day of service, and the rest in installments every two weeks. Big-ticket services such as hair extensions, braids, eyelash extensions, and natural hairstyles become more accessible to your clients, and your appointment calendar fills up faster.
Embracing the convenience of online payments can set you apart. StyleSeat Payments not only streamlines your transactions but also empowers you to focus on what you do best—providing exceptional service to your clients.
