Salon & Barbershop Payments & Booking Setup

Salons and barbershops run on the calendar: every empty chair is lost revenue and every no-show costs twice. Roots Payments sets up booking, deposits, tips and commissions on Square, and offers merchant accounts and cash discount programs when Square isn't the right fit.
