Dog Groomers card machine questions
Can I take payment from my van between appointments?
Yes. The terminal has 4G and WiFi built in, so it works away from the salon just as reliably.
Do I get charged during weeks I take off?
No. There's no minimum monthly service charge, so holiday weeks and quiet spells cost nothing.
What if the price changes on the day for extra treatments?
You simply key in the final amount, so nail trims or de-shedding add-ons are no trouble to charge.
How fast does Saturday's takings reach my bank?
Settlement is next working day including Saturdays, so a busy weekend clears before the next one starts.
Is the machine tough enough for a grooming salon?
Yes. It comes with a lifetime warranty on the hardware, covering everyday wear from a working salon floor.
