Charge card
01 / The card system
Three ways to take a card, all set up inside the app.
Connect Stripe from inside the app once, in a few minutes, and the money moves between your client and your bank. It never passes through BackBar Pro, so there is no float, no payout schedule of ours to wait on, and no account we can freeze.
- Card on file, captured with her consent at booking, charged in one tap
- A payment link you text or email her, so she pays from her own phone
- A QR code at the chair she scans to pay by card on the spot
- Deposits and no-show fees charged to that same card on file

02 / What it costs
Pass Stripe fees onto your clients.
Turn on the card fee and it is added to card charges at checkout, itemised on her receipt so nothing is hidden from her. Leave it off and you absorb it instead.
- No commission and no per-transaction cut to BackBar Pro
- Pass up to 3% to the client, the ceiling the card networks allow
- Never added to tips, deposits, or payments you record by hand
- Stripe's actual fee is logged on every payment and lands in Finances as a deductible expense

03 / However else she pays
Your own Venmo and Zelle codes, saved where you need them.
Upload the QR image from Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, or anything else you take, give it a label, and it is there at checkout to show her. No hunting through your photo roll mid-appointment. Nothing you collect this way costs a cent, and it still lands in the same income total as every card charge.
- Save as many payment QR codes as you take, each one labelled
- Show it at checkout and log the payment in the same tap
- Cash logged as its own method, not left off the books
- Gift cards sold and redeemed against any future visit

04 / After she pays
A receipt that reaches her before she is out the door.
Fire off a hosted receipt by text or email straight from the appointment. Nothing to print and nothing extra for her to install, just a real receipt with the service, the card fee if you charged one, and the total on it.
- A hosted receipt, texted or emailed from the appointment
- Retail sold at checkout comes off your stock on its own
- Refunds tie back to the original payment
- Every method feeds one income total and your tax numbers
