What is the early cancellation fee?
The fee is the price of the reader: $75.
Update, January 2023: The fee is now $100 (current price of the reader.)
Really would have been helpful to have terms clarified before signing up....
My app won’t let me order the free reader. I keep getting an error with the address but it won’t let me select my state
I looked at your business on the web and couldn't see any reason for it not to go through. I'm issuing a support ticket for this, and you should be contacted by Vagaro support. Sorry for the inconvenience!
The website won't let our business order it for free. What's the best way to go about addressing that?
Hi Brandi... Our system shows that you do have a Vagaro Mobile Credit Card Reader. That is the old style that used a mobile phone's headphone jack to connect and swipe cards. If that is incorrect, call support and see what they can do to help. You can purchase a new Vagaro EMV Reader that supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, NFC, Dip, and Swipe from the Vagaro Products page for $100.
