The salon payment processor your booking software wishes you had.
Card-on-file, stylist commission attribution, automated no-show fees, and booking integration, built by people who actually run salons. Your stylists get paid faster. Your no-show losses drop. Your accountant stops calling you.
Most salon owners are bleeding money and don't know it.
If you're running a salon on Square or a generic processor, here's what's quietly happening to you every month, and why most owners never catch it until they look at a year of bank statements side by side.
- →You're paying 2.9% + $0.30 on every transaction. A salon doing $40K/month in card volume is handing $1,160/month to your processor, that's $13,920 a year, and most of it is unnecessary markup.
- →Stylists are arguing about commission math because the receipts don't match the booking software.
- →No-shows are costing you 3-7 chair hours a week and you have no enforceable way to charge them.
- →When a customer disputes a service, you're losing the chargeback because you can't prove they showed up.
Here's the math when salons switch to Reyna Pay.
Real numbers from salons running SalonTransact, our salon-specific platform built on Reyna Pay's processing rails.
Built by a salon operator. For salon operators.
Robert Reyna runs Salon Envy®, a multi-location salon franchise. Every feature in SalonTransact exists because we needed it ourselves and couldn't find it anywhere else. We're not a generic processor with a salon vertical. We're salon operators who built the processor we wished existed.
Features built for salons.
Stylist commission attribution that actually works
Every transaction auto-attributes service revenue and tips to the stylist who performed the work. Pay periods close in 15 minutes instead of four hours of spreadsheet reconciliation. Junior, senior, and master stylist commission tiers supported. Tip-out chains tracked. Disputes drop to near zero because the math is provable.
Card-on-file with no-show automation
Customer taps once, the system remembers them. Card stored securely, PCI scope handled. When they no-show their next appointment, the system charges your published cancellation fee automatically. No awkward phone call. No chasing. Real reduction in lost chair time and recovered revenue you would have otherwise written off.
Booking software integration
Pre-authorize cards at booking time. When the appointment date arrives and the customer doesn't show, you've already got the authorization in place, fee captured, no fight. Direct integrations with the major salon booking platforms. Open API for custom setups.
Multi-location reporting with separate MIDs
Own three salons? See all three in one dashboard, with each location's MID isolated for clean accounting. Roll up to the group, drill into any single chair. Compare revenue per stylist across locations. Identify which suite is your top performer and which is leaking.
How salons actually use Reyna Pay.
Solo stylist booth renter
Booth-renting stylists keep 100% of service revenue. Reyna Pay separates your income from the shop's operating account cleanly. 1099 reporting handled at year-end.
Single-location commission salon
8 stylists on commission, one front desk. Pay periods close in minutes. Stylists see their own earnings in real time. No commission disputes.
Multi-location franchise
Three to fifty locations under one brand. Separate MIDs for clean accounting per franchise. Roll-up reporting to the franchisor. Each location's stylists managed independently.
Hybrid booth-rental + employee model
Some stylists are W-2, some rent the chair. Reyna Pay handles both, including transaction-level splits where renters keep 100% of service revenue and the shop collects rent separately.
Membership and package programs
Monthly cut clubs, prepaid blowout packages, gift card programs. Recurring billing built in with retry logic and member-only pricing.
High-volume color salon
Big tickets, long appointments, tip-heavy. Card-on-file plus pre-authorization at booking eliminates the awkward conversations about deposits.
“We switched from Square to SalonTransact and saved over $9,000 in our first year, but the bigger win was payday closing in 15 minutes instead of three hours. My stylists trust the math now.”
For salons, we recommend SalonTransact.

Why every salon is overpaying for credit card processing (and the math behind it)
Most salon owners have no idea what their effective processing rate actually is, and that's exactly how the industry makes its money. Here's the math, the markup, and how to find your real number.
Stylist commission tracking: Why your POS is making payroll harder than it needs to be
If your salon reconciles commissions by hand every two weeks, you're losing eight hours of admin time per pay cycle, and probably making mistakes. Here's how modern salon platforms handle stylist attribution automatically.
