Online payments — coming soon

Chairtime does not yet offer customer-facing online payments. Today the in-salon POS at /platform/pos records sales paid by cash, card (your own machine), or EFT — see Complete and invoice.

PayFast is wired into the platform for your own monthly subscription to Chairtime — but not yet for taking client deposits or charging clients through Chairtime.

What’s on the roadmap

Section titled “What’s on the roadmap”
  • Online booking deposits — clients pay a deposit at booking time before the chair is held
  • PayFast checkout links — for phone bookings, send a one-tap pay link by SMS or email
  • Customer card-on-file — store and re-charge for no-shows under your cancellation policy
  • Automated receipts — branded SMS / email receipts after every sale

What works today

Section titled “What works today”
  • The POS records the payment method for every sale so reports break down cash vs card vs EFT
  • The deposit policy in Setup → Booking is captured against the booking, ready to enforce once collection goes live
  • Your own subscription to Chairtime is taken through PayFast — see Upgrade
