The final moments of an appointment are just as important as the service itself. But when checkout feels confusing or awkward, it can overshadow the positive experience you\u2019ve created. That\u2019s why we\u2019re here to simplify things\u2014breaking down every part of your receipt so you and your clients can wrap up smoothly, confidently, and stress-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about how charges are displayed for both you and your clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For You: The Breakdown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your receipt isn\u2019t just a record of what happened during the appointment\u2014it\u2019s a tool for tracking your hard work and earnings. Here\u2019s a closer look at what you\u2019ll see on your end:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

New Client Fee<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When we connect you with a new client through our New Client Connection program, a one-time fee of 30% applies to their first appointment (capped at $50). After that initial visit, every dollar they spend\u2014including tips\u2014goes straight to you. It\u2019s a small investment for long-term loyalty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Deposit Paid<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This section shows the deposit your client paid upfront when booking their appointment. If you require a deposit, they are paid in advance, already part of your earnings, and don\u2019t affect your payout. At checkout, the client will only owe the remaining balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Smart Pricing Fee<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If a client books during a premium, high-demand time slot, this fee comes into play. Clients are notified about the added cost when scheduling, so there are no surprises. On your end, you’ll pay just 5.5% of the service cost, capped at $16.50. The cap adjusts if extra services are added, keeping it fair and manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Due at Appointment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is where you’ll see what your client owes after their deposit. The service’s total cost will be reflected if your client is not required to pay a deposit. Either way, it keeps everything clear and straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Products<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When clients fall in love with a product you’ve used during their appointment, this section captures any additional sales. It’s a win-win: they get to enjoy the same quality at home, and you boost your earnings effortlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tip<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is where your skill and hard work shine! Tips show up here as a reflection of your client’s appreciation for a job well done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Your Client: What They See<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a peek at what your clients see on their end. Transparency builds trust, and here\u2019s how their receipt breaks things down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Appointment Cost<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This section includes all booked services, taxes, and the default tip amount (set to 20%, though they can adjust it as needed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Deposit Paid<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you required a deposit, this shows the amount they paid upfront when booking their appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Due at Appointment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finally, this reflects the total amount left to pay after the service, factoring in any deposit already paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By understanding every detail of your receipt, you can ensure that checkout feels effortless, not awkward. Clients appreciate transparency, and you\u2019ll appreciate how smooth and confident each transaction becomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
