    Mobile Hairdressers card machine questions

    Do I need the client's WiFi?

    No. The terminal has a 4G SIM built in, so it connects on its own in any home you visit.

    Can I take bridal deposits?

    Yes, in person or over the phone, so a wedding morning booking is secured well in advance.

    Does it prompt for tips?

    Yes. Tipping can be set as a percentage or fixed amount, and tips are reported separately from your service income.

    What if I only work part time?

    There is no monthly bill and no minimum turnover, so part-time weeks cost you nothing in fees.

    How quickly is money paid out?

    Payments settle the next working day, including Saturday and Sunday appointments.
