How to take payment with GlossGenius - 5 Ways!

‍

5 Ways to take payments with GlossGenius GlossGenius knows that beauty and wellness pros like you need the flexibility to collect client payments in many different ways – that's why we offer multiple ways to process payments, all through your GlossGenius app.

Use this as a guide to each payment processing capability, and make the most of every service by offering these payment options! 1. Card reader (a.k.a. your Chief Money Machine) For a luxe, upgraded payment experience, use a card reader that matches your personal brand – our card readers seamlessly connect to your GlossGenius account, plus they're ultra stylish and compact.

Pro tip: Use your card reader for larger transactions to better protect yourself from transaction disputes and chargebacks. 2. Tap to Pay on iPhone GlossGenius is the first app in the industry to bring our members contactless client payments with Tap to Pay on iPhone – so you can be the first in your industry to use your iPhone as a point of sale device!

When you're checking out a client, simply have them hold their contactless card or digital wallet device over your iPhone until you see the "done" checkmark. It's that easy! 3. Store a card on file Customers securely add their card when booking online for a card-free checkout at the salon after their service. With GlossGenius, you can choose to require a card for all clients, only for new clients, or never require a card for online booking.

Pro tip: Start taking deposits with your services to protect your time and money against last-minute cancellations and no-shows! 4. Scan card If a client has a new card they'd like to use, or their card doesn't have contactless capability (like an NFC chip), quickly and easily scan their card for maximum convenience and speed at checkout. During checkout, select "Scan or Enter New Card" then use the built-in scanner to center the card in the frame. The card details will be automatically pulled into the transaction, without having to manually type them in! 5. Key-in card details A tried-and-true option for those times where you need a little extra flexibility. Maybe a client is sending you a picture of their card, or only has the number. Perhaps their card is a little banged up and can't be scanned. When in doubt, typing in the card details is quick and easy!

Pro tip: When scanning cards, those with numbers on the back will not scan. If you encounter these types of newer cards, use this CODE to purchase a card reader to make processing these a breeze.
