Credit Card Processing - How to Sign Up for a Business Merchant Account in Vagaro

If you're looking to switch from another credit card processor, Vagaro Merchant Services is the right option for you!

Vagaro offers cheap credit card processing rates as well as a slew of other benefits, including the ability to sell services, products, memberships, products, and gift certificates online, store credit cards, enforce cancellation and no-show policies, and require credit card payments online. 

Additionally, you become eligible to receive a free credit card reader once your application is approved. This includes the Vagaro EMV Chip Readers. 

To sign up for credit card processing using the Vagaro Pro App, follow these steps:

• Tap More at the bottom of the screen.
• Select Credit Card Processing Application.  
• Locate the preferred plan. Then, tap Sign Up. You can choose either the Small or Large Merchant plan. 
• Enter your business, personal and bank information. Then tap Sign Application when you're finished. 

If you're using a computer or the Web Version, follow these steps:

• Click Settings at the top of the screen. 
• Click Credit Card Processing on the left side of the screen. 
• Click the green Activate button. 
• Click Start Your Credit Card Application. 
• Locate the preferred merchant plan. Then, click Sign Up. You can choose either the Small or Large Merchant plan. 
• Click Submit Application when you're finished entering your business, personal, and bank information. 

Remember, we are not able to integrate with third-party systems at this time so if you are using another credit card processor, you must record the transactions separately in Vagaro. 

Free Chip Readers for New Merchant Accounts Holders

Once you sign up for Vagaro Merchant Services, you're eligible to get a free EMV reader. This deal is only for customers who signed up for credit card processing starting Dec. 6 and have never received a free reader from us. The chip readers work on an iPhone, iPad, and Android. 

Discounted Readers for Current Merchant Accounts Holders

If you've already received a free reader and signed up for a merchant account before Dec. 6, we are offering a reader at a discounted price ($45, plus a $5 shipping cost). Once you send us a request, we will send the reader to an address you specify. The shipment takes about 3 to 5 business days. To send your request, email support@vagaro.com.

Please note, unless you call and provide us with a different credit card to pay for the reader and shipping cost, we will use the current card you have on file.
