Bucharest, Romania - August 18th, 2026 - Reducing costs associated with POS hardware and creating faster checkout experiences, the TimeTailor salon management software announced the introduction of in-store payments for Android devices!
Alongside options such as cash, cards, and gift cards, the platform now offers an additional tap-to-pay function, ensuring salons, barbershops, spas, and beauty clinics spend less time on administrative work:
"Checkout is one of the most important interactions between a salon and its clients", said Oliver Auerbach, the CEO of TimeTailor, "so it shouldn’t mark the moment the experience becomes slow, fragmented, or interrupted!"
Designed to bring payments closer to the point of service rather than staff having to move between the salon scheduling software and a separate terminal, clients can now complete their visits in just a few seconds:
"By introducing in-store payments for Android devices, we are helping beauty professionals complete the entire customer journey in one connected workflow", Oliver added.
Because specialists in the beauty services industry have different needs than those working in traditional retail environments, with experts running their businesses from workstations, from home, while moving between treatment rooms, or going on-site at their clients’ events, they require flexible options that can be used without any heavy or expensive equipment regardless of location.
How does the new contactless payment option for Android work?
Once a customer is done with their service, experts can initiate the checkout inside the salon appointment app, selecting Tap to Pay as a payment method. The client then taps a contactless card or mobile, and the transaction is recorded as completed.
The result? A seamless experience that feels more like an extension of the service than an additional step:
"Our mission is to create technology that perfectly fits into everyday workflows", Oliver added. "The best payment experience is one that feels almost invisible to the client and completely effortless to the business!"
The new feature comes in support of existing TimeTailor salon payment processing tools, such as:
1. Card-On-File
Salons can make cancellation policies enforceable and protect bookings by discouraging no-shows!
2. Deposits
Bookings are secured with fixed or percentage-based deposits that help customers remember their commitments!
3. Automatic cancellation of bookings with unpaid deposits
If the deposit isn’t paid in time, the appointment is automatically cancelled so someone else can occupy the spot!
4. Late Cancellation Fees
Fees are automatically applied for late cancellations and no-shows, protecting schedules and revenues!
5. Full prepayment options
Clients can pay the entire amount while booking online!
6. Reports
Real-time financial reports keep salon owners updated on sales, KPIs, and team performance!
7. Gift card payments
A convenient way clients can pay for services!
With online booking, payments, staff management, marketing, and no-show protection, the salon software brings new tools for making day-to-day administrative tasks easier than ever!
