Your merchant account.
Set your prices. Keep what you collect.
Most platforms process payments through their own account — you're a sub-merchant at their mercy. 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, covered
Accept payments however your clients want to pay — at the chair or before they walk in.
In-Shop Terminal
CardPointe Bolt terminals integrated directly into your console. Process payments from the same screen where you manage appointments.
- Contactless tap (Apple Pay, Google Pay)
- EMV chip insert
- Magnetic stripe swipe
- PIN debit
Online Payments
Secure card-on-file tokenization powered by CardPointe's iFrame. PCI-compliant by design — card numbers never touch your server.
- 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. No separate tip screen, no manual math. The adjusted amount settles to your account automatically.
- 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.
