How much did your last no-show cost you?
Most salon owners can answer that instantly. Far fewer can tell you what they're paying to take a card payment.
The legacy providers sit between 1.69% and 1.75%. On £8,000 a month in takings, 1.75% works out at £1,680 a year.
Lopay's next-day rate is 0.99%. Same takings, £950.40. That's £729 a year saved, or £922 on weekly payouts at 0.79%.
And the no-shows? Send payment links via WhatsApp, SMS or Instagram DM the moment someone books. Client taps, pays with Apple Pay or their card, deposit taken before the appointment exists.
Booth renters take payments on their own phones. Separate reporting per stylist, no access to salon payouts.
