How to grow your payments app with piercing studios

  1. Your card appears in your app
  2. Tap it to pay in a shop
  3. See every payment as it happens

Piercing studios, whether on their own or inside a tattoo shop, serve a steady flow of walk-ins alongside booked appointments. Most customers pay for the piercing and the jewellery together, often add aftercare products, and come back later to upgrade their jewellery. Many are young customers who pay by phone rather than cash. A payments app that takes deposits for bookings, quick payments at the counter and simple card or phone payments can win studios, and every customer who pays there sees your app.

Make the counter quick

Grow through shared shops

Many piercers work inside tattoo shops or beauty salons. When everyone in the shop takes payments through your app, one studio can bring several businesses onto it.
