Everything your salon
needs to get paid

The Certxa POS is woven into every part of the platform — from appointments to checkout to reporting — not bolted on as an afterthought.

One-tap checkout

When an appointment is complete, tap "Check Out" and the total populates automatically — services, add-ons, tip, and tax included. Hand the reader to the client and you're done in two taps.

Bank-grade security

Stripe is PCI DSS Level 1 certified — the highest certification in payments. Card data is encrypted at the reader and never touches Certxa's servers. Your clients are always protected.

Direct-to-bank payouts

Every payment goes straight to your Stripe account — Certxa never holds your funds. Stripe pays out to your bank on your schedule, as fast as next business day.

Automatic SMS receipts

After every checkout, Certxa sends the client an SMS receipt automatically. No manual emails. No printing paper. Just a clean digital receipt straight to their phone.

Real-time sales reporting

Every transaction syncs instantly to Certxa's reports dashboard. Track daily revenue, top services, staff sales, and tips — all in one place without logging into Stripe separately.

Loyalty rewards built in

Every payment automatically triggers loyalty point calculations. Clients earn points on every visit without you lifting a finger — fully integrated into checkout, no separate loyalty app needed.

Transparent Pricing

Simple, honest fees.
No surprises.

Payment costs depend on the configured payment provider, payment method, and your account terms. Review the current pricing details before taking live payments so you understand processing fees, hardware costs, and any applicable platform charges.
