Checkout Services and Products with One Salon POS

A salon checkout needs to handle services, retail products and several payment types without extra software. SoftBela's point of sale does all three from the same login as the booking calendar.

Services and retail together

Combine a service and any retail products a client buys into a single checkout and invoice.

Multiple payment methods

Accept cash, card, bank transfer, mobile money or a split of methods on any transaction.

A4 invoices

Generate a formatted A4 invoice for every checkout without a separate invoicing tool.

Refunds tracked

Process refunds against the original transaction so records stay accurate.

A checkout connected to the calendar

In many salons the checkout is a separate step from the appointment calendar, which means staff re-enter service details that were already recorded when the client booked. SoftBela's point of sale is connected to the same appointment record, so a completed booking can move straight into checkout with the service and price already populated. Staff can still add extra items during checkout, such as a retail product the client picks up on the way out, without needing to switch to a different screen or system.

  • Service and price carried over from the appointment
  • Retail products added at checkout as needed
  • No duplicate data entry between calendar and POS
  • Works for walk-ins without a prior booking too

Payment methods that match how clients actually pay

Salon clients pay in different ways depending on the country and the individual, and a checkout system that only supports cash or card alone forces staff to work around it. SoftBela records cash, card payments including Visa and Mastercard, bank transfer, mobile money options such as m-Pesa, e-Mola and mKesh in Mozambique, split payments across more than one method, and other payment types entered manually. This means a client paying half in cash and half by card is recorded accurately as one transaction with two payment entries rather than being forced into a single category.

  • Cash, card, bank transfer and mobile money
  • Split payments across two or more methods
  • Manual entry for other payment types
  • Payment method recorded per transaction for reporting

Invoices without a separate tool

Every checkout in SoftBela can generate an A4 invoice listing the services and products sold, the payment method used and the total charged. This removes the need for a salon to use a separate invoicing program just to give clients a formatted receipt, particularly for salons that need to issue invoices to corporate clients or for tax record purposes. Invoices are stored against the transaction, so they can be referenced later if a client asks for a copy or if a refund needs to reference the original sale.

  • A4 invoice generated automatically at checkout
  • Invoices linked to the original transaction
  • No separate invoicing software required
  • Useful for corporate clients needing formal receipts

Handling refunds and adjustments

Retail returns and service adjustments happen in any salon, whether a product did not suit a client or a service needs a partial refund after a mistake. SoftBela allows refunds to be processed against the original checkout, keeping the transaction history accurate rather than requiring a manual note in a separate spreadsheet. Because refunds are tied to the same customer and transaction record, reports on revenue and expenses reflect the adjusted totals rather than the original sale amount alone.

  • Refunds linked to the original transaction
  • Accurate revenue reporting after adjustments
  • No manual reconciliation needed
  • Refund history visible on the customer profile

POS included in the full platform, not sold separately

Some salon software charges extra for point of sale as an add-on module or requires a separate card processing contract. SoftBela includes point of sale in the same 20 USD monthly subscription as the calendar, booking page, customers, staff, inventory and reports, with no setup fee and no additional charge to activate checkout. A 48-hour free trial lets a salon process a few real transactions before deciding to subscribe, and the plan can be cancelled at any time.

  • POS included at no extra cost
  • Same login as calendar and customer records
  • 48-hour free trial to test real checkouts

Frequently asked questions

Does the POS support mobile money payments?

Yes. Checkout supports mobile money options including m-Pesa, e-Mola and mKesh in Mozambique, alongside cash, card, bank transfer, split payments and other methods entered manually.

Can I sell retail products and services in the same transaction?

Yes. Point of sale checkout lets you add services and retail products to the same sale, so a client can pay for a haircut and a bottle of shampoo together on one invoice.

Are invoices generated automatically?

Yes. Every checkout produces an A4 invoice listing the items sold, payment method and total, without needing a separate invoicing tool or manual formatting.

Is the POS an extra cost on top of the subscription?

No. Point of sale is included in the single 20 USD monthly subscription along with every other SoftBela module, and there is no separate fee to activate or use it.
