Payments

The Payments tab is your salon's financial-compliance configuration. Split into six sub-tabs.

1. Methods

The list of payment methods available at the till. Defaults: cash, card, bank transfer. You can add custom ones (e.g., "Gift voucher", "SZÉP card"). Each has:

• Name
• Type (cash / card / transfer / digital wallet / third-party)
• Active / inactive

2. Taxes

VAT rates set up here. Hungarian salon typically:

• 27% (standard)
• 5% (some health services)
• 0% (exempt)

Services and products pick from these.

3. Invoicing

Invoice generation integration:

• Billingo: connect with API key, invoices auto-generate
• Számlázz.hu: similar, alternative
• Invoice numbering: customizable (e.g., "DT-2026-001")
• Invoice notes: default text
• Billing info: company name, tax ID, address

4. Policy

Booking and payment policy for customers:

• Cancellation policy (e.g., free 24h ahead)
• No-show fee baseline (usually 50%)
• Late cancellation fee
• Default deposit rule

These show customer-side on the booking page and emails.

5. Services

Service-level payment overrides. Some services differ from default (e.g., one service requires deposit). You override the default per service here.

6. Gateways

Online payment providers:

• Stripe Connect: international, card, saved-card, Apple/Google Pay
• Barion: Hungarian, card, Barion wallet

You need at least one gateway for online booking to take deposits.

Tips

• Don't mix VAT rates: in Hungary it's mostly 27%, if uncertain, check with bookkeeper.
• Test invoicing integration before going live: create 1-2 test invoices, verify they reach NAV.
• Cancellation policy: document for customers: should appear on booking page and confirmation email.
• Stripe vs Barion?: Stripe is international, Barion is more familiar for local customers. Can use both.
• Services tab overrides default: if something doesn't behave as expected, check for service-level override.
