Most booking software quietly makes its money on your card processing. We never touch yours — bring your own low rate, or we'll help you switch to one.
Already have a great rate? Keep it. Plug in the processor you already use and keep every point of your margin — we never sit in the middle of a payment.
Plenty of salons pass the card fee along at checkout, so processing costs you effectively nothing. Your call — it's your business.
We'll happily refer you to a processor with excellent rates and help you switch. No pressure, and nothing baked into your booking bill.
Here's how most booking apps really make their money: your card processing. They bundle in their own payment processor and take 2.5–2.9% of every swipe — plus a fee per transaction. Booking software is how they hook you; processing is how they bill you. Many also charge per staff member, so growing your team quietly raises your bill.

Rates are illustrative — 2.9% and 1.9% are common high and low ends in today's market; your actual rate depends on your processor. WeKnowSalons never processes payments or takes a cut.
We do the opposite. WeKnowSalons is merchant-processor agnostic — bring your own processor and keep a low rate (plenty of salons get around 1.9%), or pass the fee to your customers entirely. We never touch your payments and take $0 of them. And we never charge per staff member — grow your team freely. Don't have a great processor yet? We'll happily refer you to one with excellent rates.
