Vagaro's Contactless Checkout allows you to send the checkout experience directly to your client's mobile device, including viewing the charge total, tipping, and signing the transaction.
This feature helps reduce physical contact with business devices while providing customers with a seamless, professional checkout experience. You can send a checkout screen to the client's mobile device in two ways:
-
Send a link to the client's device by text message or email
-
Have the client scan a QR code that will automatically open the checkout page on their device
To accept credit cards, see Sign Up for Credit Card Processing.
There are two ways to turn on (or off) the Contactless Checkout feature.
Click the gear icon on the Checkout screen. Then turn off the Contactless Checkout toggle on the pop-up window.
-
On the Checkout screen, select your customer and enter the product, service, or class for payment.
-
Click Pay with Card to charge the customer's card using the EMV reader, then swipe or dip the card.
If there's no credit card on file, click Add to enter one.
-
A pop-up window displays. Select Contactless Checkout or Checkout on This Device.
-
On the pop-up screen, send a checkout screen to the customer's mobile device:
-
Option 1 - Send a link to the customer's device by text message or email
-
Option 2 - Have them scan a QR code to open the checkout page on their device
-
-
Enter the phone number and email address, then click Send to Customer to send the final checkout steps to the customer's mobile device.
Note
The customer's profile will not be updated with the new mobile phone or email you entered in this window unless the profile is missing a mobile phone or email.
-
The customer taps the link on the notification they receive to be directed to a web page where they can complete the checkout.
-
The customer finishes the checkout process on their mobile device (jump to Finish Checkout Process.)
Tip
The QR Code is the fastest way to send Contactless Checkout to your customers.
-
After clicking Send to Customer, a pop-up screen with a scannable QR code displays. The customer can scan the QR code from a mobile, tablet, or desktop device using the device's camera.
-
A message with a clickable link displays. The link takes customers directly to a secure web page to finish the checkout on their device.
-
The customer finishes the checkout process on their mobile device (next.)
Important
Make sure the customer finishes the Contactless Checkout before they leave. If the transaction is not finished on the customer's end, it will be cancelled.
-
After the customer clicks the link or QR code, they can finish the checkout from their device.
-
On the checkout page, they will click Add Tip to select their tip amount.
If there are multiple service providers, they can choose to split the tip.
-
The customer clicks Next and is asked to sign.
They sign and tap Charge Card. After that, they can leave a review for your business.
-
On your screen, you see that the checkout was successful, and you can select a receipt type, like any standard transaction.
Note
After completing the transaction, the customer automatically gets an email receipt, but you can send it to an alternative email or print a copy.
-
You can rebook the client for another appointment, go to the Calendar, or close the pop-up.

Love VAGARO for over 6 years now ♥️
Is there an extra charge for this?
Hi Rodney,
There is not an extra charge for this feature, this feature is included if you use our credit card processing.
Thank you!
On the tip screen, can I edit what I want the clients to see? Instead of % I want to show dollar amounts.
$5
$10
$15
$20
$25
$30
Or a place for "OTHER": ____________
Hi Barbara: I'm sorry, but tipping is set up to be a percentage only. However, in a regular checkout and in the COVID-Clean checkout there is an option for a custom tip amount, where you or your customer (in the COVID checkout) can add a specific dollar amount. This should meet your request for the "OTHER" tip amount.
It stopped working. I don't get pop up anymore to check out with covid clean even though it's turned on. This happened after the new iOS and macOS update. Please have it fixed.
