Card terminals, online booking deposits and cards on file are built right into your schedule and checkout. Every payment lands on the right sale, and your money goes straight to your own bank account.
-
Checkout straight to the terminal
The sale total is sent to your Stripe smart reader in one click. When the card is approved, SalX records it on the sale by card type — no re-keying amounts, no end-of-day mismatches. Splitting a bill? Send part to the card and take the rest another way.
-
Deposits on online bookings
Ask for a deposit when clients book online and watch no-shows drop. Clients pay securely as they book, and if the booking can't be completed the deposit is refunded automatically.
-
Cards on file, payouts to your bank
Save a client's card to their profile for faster repeat visits. Funds settle to your own Stripe account and pay out directly to your bank.
Card details are handled by Stripe and never touch SalX servers.
Every client gets their own login.
The SalX client portal answers “when's my next appointment?” and “how many points do I have?” so your front desk doesn't have to.
- View upcoming and past appointments
- Check loyalty points balance and history
- Review purchase and service history
- Secure, zero-friction access via email invite
Everything's included.
Every feature, for every person on your team, on the Professional plan. No modules, no add-ons, no surprise invoices.

What owners say about SalX
SalX rolled everything we loved about three other programs into one. Before SalX I slogged a giant appointment book everywhere. Now I just pull out my phone and my schedule is right there.
The best business decision we have made yet. Within hours of setting up online booking we received several bookings from new clients. With constant updates, we can't wait to see what's next.
I love this program not only for its ease but the amazing customer service. If I ever find I need something added, I always get a response almost immediately and the software is usually updated that day.
SalX has a mobile app that staff can use outside the salon. I don't get calls asking about schedules anymore. And for payroll — it is very straightforward and customizable to each staff member.
This software is easy to set up. Any problems, the response is quick to help. Luv this. Wish I found this program earlier!!! Don't use anything else!
SalX is extremely easy to learn and navigate. Both Mark and Sean have been extremely helpful. Choosing SalX has improved our students' confidence in their ability to use electronic salon functions.
