Introducing In-Store Payments for Android Devices

Bucharest, 2026:

Eliminating the need for expensive POS hardware and providing faster checkout experiences, the TimeTailor team is excited to announce the launch of in-store payments for Android devices!

If salons, barbershops, spas, and beauty clinics could use options like cash, cards, and gift cards before, our salon booking software now offers an additional tap-to-pay function:

“Checkout is one of the most important interactions between a salon and its clients”, said Oliver Auerbach, the CEO of TimeTailor, “so it shouldn’t mark the moment where the experience becomes slow, fragmented, or interrupted!”

Rather than having team members move between the salon scheduling software and separate terminals, they can now finalize transactions directly on their phones in just a few moments:

“Having in-store payments for Android devices means beauty professionals can now complete the entire customer journey in one simple workflow”, Oliver added.

Given that specialists in the beauty services industry have different needs than those working in traditional retail environments, with experts running their businesses from workstations, from home, while moving between treatment rooms, or going on-site at their clients’ events, they require flexible options that can be used without any heavy or expensive equipment regardless of location.

How does the new contactless payment option for Android work?

Once the customer is done with their service, you can start the checkout process inside the salon appointment app, selecting Tap to Pay as a method of payment. The client then taps a contactless card or mobile, and the transaction is recorded as completed with no additional steps.

“Our mission has always been to create technology that adapts to the various ways in which beauty professionals do what they love every single day”, Oliver added. “The best payment experience is the one that feels invisible to the client and effortless to the team!”

Our new feature comes in support of existing salon payment processing tools, such as:

Make cancellation policies enforceable and protect your bookings by discouraging no-shows!

Secure bookings with fixed or percentage-based deposits that encourage customers to remember their commitments!

If the deposit isn’t paid in time, the appointment is automatically cancelled, so someone else can take the spot!

In case of late cancellations and no-shows, fees are automatically applied!

Clients can pay the entire amount while booking online!

Real-time financial reports keep you updated on sales, future goals, and team performance!

Clients can pay for services in a way that brings additional revenue!

By creating a salon software with built-in card payment processing, we aim to introduce new tools that make daily administrative tasks simpler to handle at no additional cost!

No additional cost? Exactly! Our salon booking app is free for manual appointments, so specialists can manage their schedule and clients in one place. This includes unlimited staff & experts. For online bookings only, customers pay a small 3.9% booking fee at checkout, keeping the platform free for beauty professionals. No risks, just results!
