EBS for Salons & Barbershops
Chair-Side Checkout. Zero Front-Desk Pileup.
The appointment should end at the chair, not in a crowd at the front desk. EBS puts payment where the service ends — for owners, booth renters, and the retail shelf — at interchange + 0.50% and $35 a month flat.

01How Salons & Barbershops Get Paid
From the Chair to Paid in One Motion
A salon's money moves differently from a store's: services, tips, renters, retail, and deposits all land in the same day. The setup has to keep each stream clean — and keep them separate where they should be.
01
Chair-Side Checkout
The service ends, the card comes out, the tip lands — all at the chair. No walk to the desk, no line, no next client waiting on the last one's payment.
02
Tips Done Right
Tip prompts on the device keep gratuities clear for stylist, barber, and guest — settled with the service, not sorted out in a notebook later.
03
Booth Renters
Renters take their own payments under their own setup. The shop's books and the renter's books stay separate — because they are separate businesses sharing a roof.
04
Retail Shelf Sales
The products your client takes home ring up in the same flow as the service — one checkout, both revenue lines, nothing run twice.
05
Appointment Deposits
Take the deposit by invoice with a card on file, and no-shows stop being free. The same card settles the balance at the chair when the client shows.
06
Gift Cards
Clover Gift Cards turn one good appointment into the next visit — sold at checkout, and they usually bring a friend back with them.
02The Right Setup
Small Gear. Full Salon.
Every device below runs through the $35 Equipment Placement Program — one one-time $35 shipping & handling fee, no lease, no monthly rental. Pick the footprint that fits the chair, the suite, or the desk.
$35 Placement
Clover Compact
Counter-clean and small: full checkout power that does not eat the front desk. Available through the $35 Equipment Placement Program.
$35 Placement
Clover Flex 4
Checkout that walks to the chair — services, tips, and retail in one handheld, so the desk never becomes a bottleneck. Available through the $35 Equipment Placement Program.
$35 Placement
Clover Go Gen 3
Phone-paired and pocket-sized — the simple own-way-to-get-paid for booth renters and suite setups. Available through the $35 Equipment Placement Program.
Placement gear stays EBS property under the Merchant Equipment Agreement — or buy any device outright at store prices.
03What It Costs
One Processing Fee. In Writing.
Salon math should be as clean as the shop. Ours is published before you sign: the card networks set interchange, we add 0.50%, and merchant services are $35 a month flat. The full math lives on our pricing page.
Processing
Interchange + 0.50%
Each card's true cost passes through, plus one published processing fee. No tiered mystery, no padded rates hiding in the fine print.
Monthly
$35/mo Flat
Merchant services at one flat monthly fee — not $35 plus a page of line items you find later.
Equipment
$35 One-Time Placement
A one-time $35 shipping & handling fee places modern equipment through the Equipment Placement Program. No lease, no monthly rental.
More chairs, a remodel, or a second location? Funding runs through David Allen Capital — EBS is not the lender.
