Introducing In-Store Payments for iOS

Bucharest, 2026:

Our team is excited to announce that the TimeTailor salon booking software allows beauty professionals to accept in-store payments directly on iOS devices without needing to purchase any costly POS hardware!

In addition to cash, cards, and gift cards, the Tap to Pay function helps salons, barbershops, spas, and beauty clinics cut down on manual work:

“Payments are also part of the client journey”, said Oliver Auerbach, the CEO of TimeTailor. “With this launch, we’re bringing them directly into our salon booking system for iOS!”

Transactions, now completely integrated into the salon software workflow, can be completed at the point of service, so professionals no longer need to manage separate systems for appointments, clients, and payments:

“Running a salon involves hundreds of small interactions every single day”, Oliver added. “We wanted to make the end of the visit feel as simple and connected as the rest of the experience. With Tap to Pay now available on iOS devices, teams and solo stylists can move from service to checkout in a matter of seconds.”

Functioning under different rules than traditional retail environments, the beauty services industry needs tools that adapt to multiple scenarios, such as professionals running their businesses from workstations, from home, between treatment rooms, or at their clients’ homes or events. Perfect for any situation, a mobile salon POS system provides more freedom and flexibility.

How does the new contactless payment option for iOS work?

Once a treatment is completed, specialists can start the checkout process inside the salon appointment app, selecting Tap to Pay as a payment method. The client then taps a contactless card or mobile, and the transaction is finalized:

Without any issues, the checkout becomes an extension of the service, not an additional step team members have to take:

“We are very mindful of salon owners’ requests for management platforms that work as ecosystems, not different tools that are scattered all over the place and impossible to manage during workdays”, Oliver added. “Our mission is to create technology that naturally fits into their lives, and payments are a big part of that.”

The new feature supports existing TimeTailor salon payment processing tools, such as:

Turn your Android device into a payment terminal!

Discourage no-shows, protect bookings, and enforce cancellation policies!

Clients are more likely to show up if they pay fixed or percentage-based deposits beforehand!

If a deposit isn’t paid in time, the appointment is automatically cancelled, so someone new can come instead!

Protect your schedule and revenue by automatically charging fees for late cancellations and no-shows!

Customers have the option of paying the entire amount upfront!

Keep up with sales, KPIs, and team performance with real-time financial reports!

Offer an additional payment method to your clients!

By bringing online booking, payments, staff management, marketing, and no-show protection into the same salon scheduling software, we make sure daily administrative tasks are easier to handle at no additional cost.

No additional cost? Exactly! Our salon management software 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, clients pay a 3.9% booking fee at checkout, keeping the platform free for beauty professionals. No risks, just results!
