Do most salon software include an integrated payment system?

This payment solution enables salon owners to process payments on any device while providing a safe and easy experience for clients, whether that’s online or in your salon.


The Vagaro enterprise salon software can consolidate multiple transactions effortlessly, allowing your salon clients to see several employees in one visit and pay in a single transaction. Salon owners can also simplify rent collection with the Vagaro salon management software.
