Illustrative plan comparison
The examples below apply only the published monthly fee and published rate above included turnover. They exclude VAT and any other charge that may apply. They are illustrations, not quotations. Rates are stated as starting rates, so final terms still require a business review.
Starter illustration: £69.99 plus 0.8% of £1,001, giving approximately £78.00 before VAT.
Growth illustration: £99.99 before VAT because £6,000 remains inside the published included turnover.
Starter illustration: £69.99 plus 0.8% of £7,001, giving approximately £126.00 before VAT.
Growth illustration: £99.99 plus 0.5% of £2,001, giving approximately £110.00 before VAT.
Use several months of card statements, including busy and quiet periods. A single month can hide the effect of seasonal turnover.
Independent UK payment context
Independent evidence does not prove that one provider is right for a salon. It does explain why payment convenience, full-cost comparison, terminal terms and security responsibilities deserve more attention than a single percentage rate.
UK Finance reported that cards accounted for 64% of all UK transactions in 2024. It recorded 18.9 billion contactless card payments, around 61% of card payments. It also reported that 57% of UK adults used mobile wallets. These figures support treating terminal speed, contactless acceptance and a clear checkout journey as everyday service requirements rather than optional extras.
The practical test is not whether a terminal accepts a card. It is whether the payment process stays accurate when the salon is busy, the bill changes or several clients are waiting at reception.
UK Finance recorded 2.06 billion debit and credit card transactions in the UK during April 2026. Contactless accounted for 75% of debit card transactions and 67% of credit card transactions that month. Monthly data will move, but the scale shows why a salon payment process must handle frequent, low-friction transactions reliably.
For a salon, that makes the connection between the final bill and the terminal operationally important. Re-entering totals adds a small task to every payment and creates another point where a mismatch can occur.
The Payment Systems Regulator found that providers did not typically publish prices and that approaches to headline rates varied significantly. It also identified terminal contracts, contract duration and exit fees as factors that could discourage merchants from comparing or switching.
A useful comparison should therefore include the monthly fee, included turnover, the rate above it, terminal numbers, contract length, exit terms, settlement arrangements and any separate charge shown on the statement. The operational effect on checkout and reconciliation belongs in the same review.
The PCI Security Standards Council describes PCI DSS as a baseline of technical and operational requirements designed to protect payment account data. It applies to entities that store, process or transmit payment data, and to organisations that could affect the security of the cardholder-data environment.
Ask which organisations handle payment data, what the salon is responsible for and which evidence supports the proposed setup. The presence of an integrated workflow should never be treated as proof of certification or compliance on its own.
Original buying insights
A statement records charges and transactions. It rarely shows the staff time, error risk and client experience created by the process around those transactions.
Follow ten real checkouts. Count how often a team member reads a total, types it elsewhere, confirms it and later checks it again. A task that takes seconds can become meaningful across hundreds of monthly transactions.
A perfect card sale proves very little. Ask to see what happens when the bill changes, a payment is declined, a refund is required or the connection is interrupted. Exceptions reveal how much manual correction the team may face.
A plan can look right in a quiet month and become more expensive during December or another peak. Compare the published structure against a full year of turnover, then model realistic growth rather than selecting from one statement.
A fast terminal is useful. A payment that can be traced back to the correct salon bill is a different benefit. During a demonstration, check the client bill, terminal result, daily takings and reporting record after the same transaction.
External sources explain the wider UK payment market. They do not certify SalonPay, confirm regulatory compliance or guarantee a saving or business outcome.
Look beyond the headline rate
A competitive rate matters, but so does everything around it. The right setup should make checkout feel effortless, reduce repeated keying, give your team confidence at the front desk and leave you with a clearer view of every pound taken.
Monthly plan
See the monthly cost alongside the card turnover already included, so the value of each plan is easier to understand before any additional transaction rate applies.
Card turnover
Your usual monthly card turnover helps identify the plan that gives your business the strongest fit today, without paying for a structure that does not suit the way you trade.
Terminal needs
Starter and Growth each include one terminal, with additional machines available when your reception, treatment rooms or locations need more ways to take payment.
Admin impact
Keeping the bill and payment connected can reduce repeated keying and make daily takings easier to check with confidence.
SalonPay pricing
Start with the card volume your business already processes. Starter and Growth include a monthly turnover allowance, while Custom is shaped around higher-volume, complex or multi-site requirements.

The payment workflow
SalonPay keeps the final bill and the payment journey closer together, creating a faster, more polished checkout for clients and a simpler process for the team behind the desk.
Step 1
Confirm services, retail, vouchers, discounts and any other bill items in Salon Manager, so the client receives one clear and accurate total.
Step 2
The payment amount moves through the connected process, reducing the need to type the total again into a separate, unrelated terminal.
Step 3
The client completes the card payment on the terminal as a natural final step in the salon experience.
Step 4
Payment activity remains easier to compare with the original bill, daily takings and the wider Salon Manager reporting process.
