Simplifying the way salon owners and booth renters accept customer credit cards, SalonSwipe has launched its free Card Reader and app for the iPhone, iPad, and Android phones. The app allows users to easily create a list of items and corresponding amounts to simplify checkout, add tip amounts by dollar or percentage, and provide customers with the ability to sign using their finger and receive a receipt via e-mail. Flat-rate pricing eliminates contracts and monthly fees and gives merchants one rate for any type of credit card charged, including rewards cards. The company also provides regular credit card terminals at no cost.

“Normally pricing to accept credit cards is very complicated. With monthly fees, monthly minimums, and different processing rates for virtually every type of card, it can be very frustrating for merchants,” says Isaac Lay, founder and CEO of SalonSwipe. “We’re pleased to offer flat-rate, pay-as-you-go pricing that guarantees no unexpected fees or unfair changes in rates by the processing bank.”

Not only does the app track all credit and debit card sales, but it can also track cash and check transactions, too. At any point during the day, a user can generate a report to see how much she’s made for cash, check, and credit card transactions.
