How Twizzlo Payment Fees Work
When a payment is processed through Twizzlo, the total payment cost includes Stripe processing fees plus the Twizzlo 1.5% platform fee.
Stripe is the payment processor. Twizzlo adds a 1.5% platform fee for payments accepted through the Twizzlo platform.
Stripe fees may vary based on factors such as country, currency, payment method, card type, international cards, disputes, refunds, and other Stripe services. Because Stripe pricing can change, Twizzlo recommends checking Stripe’s official pricing page for the most current details.
How Payment Processing Works for Appointment Businesses
Every card payment follows the same basic path. The client’s card is charged, the card networks and the bank that issued the card take their share (known as interchange), the payment processor adds its own margin, and the remainder is paid out to your business bank account. The processing fees on your statement are the combined cost of moving that money securely.
Processors package those costs in different ways. With interchange-plus pricing, the processor passes the actual interchange cost through and adds a fixed markup, so the effective rate changes with each card type. With flat-rate pricing, the processor charges one blended rate regardless of which card the client presents, which is easier to predict but hides the underlying cost. Neither model is automatically cheaper. It depends on your ticket sizes and the mix of cards your clients use.
Appointment businesses have one extra decision that retail does not: when the payment happens. A salon, barbershop, or spa can collect the full amount at the time of booking, take a deposit up front and the balance later, keep a card on file and charge it after the service, or settle in person at checkout. Each option changes how money flows through the appointment, so it is worth choosing deliberately.
Deposits at booking are a practical middle ground. The client pays part of the service price online when they book, the appointment is confirmed, and the deposit counts toward the final total. Because the client already has money committed, low-commitment bookings tend to filter themselves out. Tattoo studios, where a single no-show can cost an artist a full afternoon, are a good example of deposit policies done well; our guide to tattoo deposits covers how to structure one.
Keeping a card on file works in the other direction. The card is saved securely at booking and charged after the appointment, which makes it easy to fold add-on services and tips into one charge. It also gives your cancellation policy teeth, because a no-show or late cancellation can be charged under the terms the client agreed to. Put that agreement in writing with a signed card on file authorization form, and confirm saved-card features are supported for your account and region before building a policy around them.
Inside Twizzlo, online payments and tips run through Stripe Connect. Stripe acts as the payment processor and sets the processing fees, and Twizzlo adds the 1.5% platform fee described above for payments processed through the platform. Payments collected outside the platform, such as cash at the front desk or a card terminal you already own, are between you and that provider.
Payment Collection Approaches Compared
| Approach | When the client pays | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Pay in full at booking | At the time of online booking | Confirms commitment and removes the checkout step. Card processing costs apply to the full amount at booking time. |
| Deposit at booking | Part at booking, the balance at or after the appointment | Cuts no-shows while keeping the up-front amount small. The deposit and the balance are two separate charges. |
| Card on file | After the appointment, charged to the saved card | Folds add-ons and tips into one charge and backs up cancellation policies. Requires clear written consent, and saved-card support varies by account and region. |
| Pay in person at checkout | After the service, at the front desk | Cash or your own terminal stays outside the platform. The Twizzlo platform fee applies only to payments processed through Twizzlo. |
Regional Eligibility
Payment processing through Twizzlo is subject to Stripe availability and eligibility in your country or region.
Stripe determines which countries, currencies, payment methods, business types, verification requirements, and payout options are supported. Twizzlo does not control Stripe’s regional availability, approval process, account requirements, or supported payment features.
Because of this, some payment-related features may not be available for every business, every location, or every Stripe account.
Features That May Vary By Region
| Feature | Availability note |
|---|---|
| Online payment collection | Subject to Stripe support and account eligibility. |
| Tip collection | May depend on region, payment method, currency, and Stripe account setup. |
| Certain payment methods | Availability may differ by country, customer location, and Stripe support. |
| Payouts | Subject to Stripe verification, local requirements, and supported payout options. |
| Currency support | Depends on Stripe-supported currencies for the business account and region. |
| Refunds and disputes | Managed through Stripe and subject to Stripe rules, timelines, and supported features. |
FAQ
How do salons process card payments?
Through a payment processor that moves money from the client’s card to the salon’s bank account, either on a card terminal in person or online through booking software. With Twizzlo, online booking payments and tips are processed through Stripe Connect: Stripe handles the card processing, and Twizzlo adds a 1.5% platform fee on top of Stripe processing fees.
How much does payment processing cost for a salon?
It depends on the processor’s pricing model and on factors like card type and international card use, which affect the underlying cost of each charge. For payments processed through Twizzlo, the total cost is Stripe processing fees plus the Twizzlo 1.5% platform fee. Stripe publishes current rates on its official pricing page, and its pricing can change, so check there for exact numbers.
What is the Twizzlo platform fee for payments?
Twizzlo charges 1.5% on top of Stripe processing fees for payments processed through Twizzlo. The fee supports secure payment collection, payment-related infrastructure, and connected payment workflows inside the platform. It applies only to payments that actually run through Twizzlo, so money you collect in cash or on your own terminal is not affected.
Can clients pay a deposit when they book online?
Taking a deposit at booking is standard practice in appointment businesses. The client pays part of the price up front, the appointment is confirmed, and the deposit counts toward the final total. It is the simplest way to cut no-shows, because the client already has money committed to showing up. Salons, barbershops, spas, and tattoo studios all use the same basic pattern.
Can a salon charge a card for a no-show?
Only with the client’s clear, advance agreement: a published cancellation policy accepted at booking and, ideally, written consent to charge the saved card. Surprise charges are the fastest route to payment disputes. Our guide to setting a fair no-show charge covers how to structure the policy, and whether saved cards can be charged depends on the payment features supported for your account and region.
Why is online payment processing not available in my country?
Payment processing through Twizzlo depends on Stripe availability and eligibility in your country or region. Stripe determines which countries, currencies, payment methods, and business types it supports, and it controls account verification and payout requirements. If Stripe does not support your region or business type, online payment collection through Twizzlo is not available there.
Do tips go through payment processing too?
Yes. Tips collected online through Twizzlo are processed the same way as booking payments, through Stripe Connect, so Stripe processing fees and the Twizzlo platform fee apply to them as part of the payment.
