Booksy has launched its Tap to Pay On iPhone enablement, revitalizing in-person transactions by transforming providers’ smartphones into contactless POS terminals. This new feature for professionals is seamlessly embedded in the Booksy Biz app, eliminating the need for providers to download additional software or purchase POS systems – saving providers time, money and valuable resources while allowing them to see increased conversions at appointments.
Booksy’s newly established Tap to Pay On iPhone feature authorizes providers to accept contactless payments instantly via their phone, granting ease to Booksy Biz’s broad consumer base as well as its providers. Suitable for businesses of all sizes, Tap to Pay On iPhone eliminates the need for extra hardware, making it especially compelling for those who prefer not to order or invest in separate POS systems. As some competitors lag, Booksy continues to establish itself at the forefront of innovation and solutions-oriented offerings for beauty providers of all sizes.

As consumers continue to go cashless, SaaS providers such as Booksy must help their users adapt to contemporary spending trends and preferred payment options. According to Booksy, 87% of shoppers prefer using contactless payment options for in-store purchases; by opening this option up to more beauty providers, the company is meeting customer demand while mitigating risks and lowering investment costs associated with traditional card readers and plug-in devices.
By leveraging Tap To Pay On iPhone, Booksy providers can streamline workflows by accepting payments, tracking income, and getting paid—all within the Booksy app. Providers can access the feature by ensuring the Booksy Biz app and device software are both up-to-date and then enabling Tap to Pay On iPhone within device settings. With a straightforward setup process involving Stripe verification, NFC access and location settings, providers can accept secure and efficient payment transactions within minutes of activation. Booksy prioritizes transparency; with a competitive processing fee of 2.49% + $0.20 per transaction, providers only pay when they receive payments.
One example of the new app is a feature that gives the solo barber who is eager to elevate their barbershop’s customer experience the ability to do so without the hassle of additional hardware orders or setup costs. It allows nail technician to seamlessly manage their business transactions within the same software, ensuring every payment is effortlessly tracked in a single, intuitive app. For the mobile massage therapist, the ability to accept contactless payments on the go using their existing device is a game-changer, enhancing flexibility and efficiency.
“Booksy’s Tap to Pay On iPhone is not just a ‘feature,’ it's a tailored solution meeting the unique needs of diverse beauty professionals, empowering them to conduct transactions seamlessly and efficiently in their specific work environments,” says Stefan Batory, CEO and Co-Founder of Booksy. “We are hyper-focused on ensuring our offerings are aligned with the evolving industry and needs of our providers and their customers. I’m grateful for the team’s ability to keep up with market trends and offer our providers the most up-to-date solutions for their ever-changing business needs.”
