Your merchant account.
Set your prices. Keep what you collect.
Most platforms process payments through their own platform account, increasing your risk as sub-merchant should something happen to the platform itself. barber.shop gives you your own CardPointe merchant account. You set your prices, you keep what you collect, and your money goes directly to you.
In-shop and online payment options
Accept payments however you prefer clients to pay — up-front, online, or at the front desk with the terminal. Give customers the option of credit, debit, or cash.
In-Shop Terminal
CardPointe Bolt terminals integrated directly into your console. Process payments from the same screen where you manage appointments. CardPointe offers a whole catalog of hardware options available for your shop according to your needs. Our platform supports them all. See the Equipment list below for more details
- Contactless tap (Apple Pay, Google Pay)
- EMV chip insert
- Magnetic stripe swipe
- PIN debit
Online Payments
Secure card-on-file tokenization powered by Fiserv, so all financial data is kept secure and available only to the customer and the bank.
- Card-on-file for deposits
- Pre-payment at booking
- Stored credential transactions
- Membership recurring billing
Tips built into the workflow
Run a card at the chair, then adjust the tip amount after the client adds a tip on the receipt. Tips and commissions are tracked for barbers, so everyone knows what their money is.
- Authorize at original amount, adjust tip before settlement
- Void and refund from the console — no logging into a separate portal
- Customer surcharge handling for compliance in applicable states
Why your own merchant account matters
Other platforms make you a sub-merchant on their account. Here's why that's a problem — and why barber.shop does it differently.
Your prices
You set your own service prices. What you charge is what you collect — no platform commission, no revenue sharing, no hidden fees taken off the top.
Your deposits
Funds settle directly to your bank account on your processor's schedule — not held by a software platform that could delay or freeze your money.
Your relationship
If you ever leave barber.shop, your merchant account stays. You're not locked in by payment processing — your business relationship is yours.
Hardware that works with your merchant account
Card-present terminals and readers that pair with barber.shop payments — order through CardPointe, no third-party POS required.
