Does it support Cash Discount?
Yes, it supports Cash Discount at the time of payment. Please note surcharge+cash discount is supported by the app, however this is currently (2018) not allowed by Processing Network Rules.
Does it support adding a surcharge?
Yes. However, note that surcharging is illegal in some states. Please check with your state/local/federal/central authorities before turning it on. In addition, some processors disable surcharging. So the app will not show surcharging option for such processors. As of 2018, Elavon & First Data (Clover) does not allow surcharging apps in the US or Canada.
How does the app address Visa's October 2018 bulletin regarding ``cash discount`` programs?
Visa’s October 2018 bulletin clarified applying a surcharge and offering a cash discount is non-compliant with Visa Rules. Offering only one is in compliance provided other signage requirements are followed. Visa’s discount offer rule (ID#: 0008590 & Section 1.5.4.12: Discount Offer – US Region) allows Merchants to offer a discount. However, the discount must be on advertised price. Therefore, applying a surcharge and offering a cash discount is not compliant with Visa Rules. SkySalon App allows merchants to set surcharge only or cash discount only to remain in compliance with these rules.
Does it do inventory management?
Yes it manages inventory with stock receives and various reports. Inventory Management requires Enterprise plans. At lower end plans App has features to allow you to sell retail products with ease.
Does it support Walkin Customers?
Yes. Walk in customers also need to be assigned a service provider (for tracking payments).
Does Sky Salon App support taxes on services and products?
Yes. You can set the tax rates to be applicable on services or products or both. For countries or areas that need multiples taxes like VAT/GST, even that rate can be set in the app.
