Point of Sale

Use the cash register to check out clients — add services, products, apply discounts, and process payments.

Point of Sale

The POS (point of sale) is your digital cash register. After a client's appointment, this is where you ring up the services and products, apply any discounts, and process the payment. It's designed to be fast and simple — just a few taps and you're done.

Processing a sale

Here's how to check out a client step by step:

  1. Open the POS — Click POS in the sidebar.
  2. Select a client — Start typing the client's name to search. Every sale must be linked to a client.
  3. Add services — Click on the services that were performed. They're organized by category for quick browsing.
  4. Add products — If the client is buying any retail products, add those too.
  5. Apply discounts — If applicable, enter a discount code or apply a manual discount.
  6. Apply a gift card — If the client has a gift card, enter the code and the balance is applied to the total.
  7. Choose a payment method — Cash, card, or online.
  8. Click Complete — The sale is recorded and the client gets a receipt by email (if email is set up).

That's it — sale done!

If a client has active package credits for the service they received, you'll see this flagged during checkout. The covered service won't be charged.

Payment methods

Salonnare supports three payment methods at the register:

MethodHow it works
CashRecord a cash payment. Salonnare tracks the amount for your records.
CardProcess a card payment through your SumUp terminal. The terminal is triggered automatically.
OnlineSend a payment link to the client's email via Stripe or Mollie. They pay online at their convenience.

You can enable one, two, or all three — whatever suits your salon. See Payment Setup for details on connecting these.

Favorites

Do you ring up the same services or products over and over? Pin them as favorites for quick access.

Favorites appear at the top of your POS screen so you can add them with a single tap instead of browsing through categories. Each staff member has their own set of favorites, so everyone can personalize their register.

Selling gift cards

You can sell a gift card right from the POS:

  1. Look for the Gift Card option.
  2. Enter the desired amount.
  3. Complete the payment.
  4. Salonnare automatically creates the gift card and can email it to the recipient.

Gift cards have a unique code that clients can use at checkout.

Redeeming loyalty points

If your loyalty program is active, clients earn points on every purchase. When they want to redeem:

  1. During checkout, apply their loyalty points as a discount.
  2. The points are deducted from their balance.
  3. Any remaining amount is charged through the normal payment method.

Viewing order history

Need to look up a past sale? Go to the Orders tab in the POS section. Here you can:

  • Search by client name or date.
  • Click on any order to see the full details.
  • Reprint or resend a receipt if needed.

Tips for a smooth checkout

  • Select the client first — This is required before you can complete a sale.
  • Check for packages — Before charging, see if the client has any package credits covering the service.
  • Use favorites — Set up your most common items so checkout takes seconds.
  • Send receipts by email — It's faster than printing and clients always have a copy.
