One bill at the counter: the visit, the bottle and the gift card together

How a sale goes at the desk

From the appointment or from the client's card, in the browser at the desk.

1. 1

   Open the sale

   On her appointment, press „Check out on one bill”, or on her client card „New sale for this client”. Her visit is already on it, with whatever she still owes: a deposit she paid online last week, or a gift card she has already spent, is taken off before you see the total.

2. 2

   Add what else she is paying for

   Another of her visits today, a product off the shelf, a gift card or a pass. A product shows how many are on the shelf and its shelf price; you name who sold it, so retail commission finds the right person.

3. 3

   Take the money, in pieces if she wants

   Cash with the change worked out, the card machine you already have, a bank transfer, or a card on your Stripe reader. Each payment shows what it paid and what is still to pay, and the sale stays open until everything is.

4. 4

   Close it and move on

   When nothing is owed, the sale is paid. Her appointment, her client card, the shelf and the day's takings already know — there is nothing to copy across.

What can go on one sale

Four kinds of line, and they do not take money the same way:

The ways she can pay

Slotora takes 0% of every one of them. The card fee belongs to whoever processes the card — Stripe, or the company behind your own machine.

Where the money lands

A sale is not a second till. Each piece of money is written exactly where it would have been written without it: the visit's payment on the visit, the bottle on the stock ledger and the client's card, the gift card and the pass where gift cards and passes have always lived. So the day-end close, the shelf count, retail commission, the monthly report and your invoicing read a sale's money exactly as they read the same money taken one item at a time.

A tip rides on the visit, the one place a tip has always lived. When a self-employed stylist did the visit, the money for it is hers: a card for it is charged on her own Stripe account, not the salon's.

A product she brings back is refunded the way it was paid; if it was paid by card on the sale, the card is refunded first. A price below the shelf price, or a refund, follows the same permissions your front-desk logins already have.

Switched on for your salon, when you ask

This is new money handling, so it starts with a few salons and grows from there — the way we start anything that touches the till.

The sale is off for every salon until we switch it on for yours. Ask us from the contact page and we turn it on for your salon; until then, every payment is taken on the appointment as before.

What it does not do

So you know the edges before a guest finds them:

• It is not online: a guest cannot buy a product from your booking page, and the sale is something the desk does.
• A product, a gift card or a pass is paid in one way. Only a visit can be split between cash and card.
• One card tap cannot pay a visit and a bottle together; it is one tap each.
• There is no barcode scanning — a product is picked from your list.
• A product, gift card or pass is sold to a named client, so a walk-in buying a bottle is added as a client first.

On the phone

In the browser it works today for a salon it is switched on for. In the Slotora app the same sale — the lines, cash with change, your own machine, a transfer and Tap to Pay on the phone — arrives with the next app version; the app shows it only where the sale is switched on.
