If you received the New Updates to Vagaro Payments popup, you can now access new features, including Tap to Pay on iPhone.
If you have the Vagaro credit card reader, the latest version of its firmware will also be installed.
-
Tap to Pay on iPhone: Accept payments directly from your phone without using a credit card reader. Customers can pay just by tapping their contactless-enabled credit card, debit card, or mobile device (such as a smartphone or smartwatch) on a compatible device—no credit card reader is needed. Tap to Pay supports Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express cards with the NFC icon and digital wallets, like Google Pay, Apple Pay, and Samsung Pay.
-
Access to the New PayPro Duo: PayPro Duo combines PayPro with PayPro Mini to run Vagaro and provide a secondary screen for your customers to make payments and fill out forms. While PayPro is intended to be used at the front desk, PayPro Mini can function as a portable, standalone device to run Vagaro and process transactions. The camera on the back of the PayPro Mini tablet can also scan barcodes and QR codes. The Vagaro receipt printer (sold separately in the Vagaro Online Store) can be paired with PayPro Duo.
-
Monday Deposits: With the upgrade, you'll now receive transactions from Friday to Sunday one day earlier—on Monday instead of Tuesday. See our updated batch schedule.
-
Security Improvements: Customers with a Vagaro Credit Card Reader can now upgrade its firmware with the latest encryption and security features. After selecting Accept & Upgrade, your reader will begin the update process.
-
Instant Payouts: Receive your deposits instantly whenever you need them.
-
Tap to Pay on Android: Customers using an Android phone can soon access the Tap to Pay feature.
Stay tuned to hear about more upcoming features!
