HB Pay Integrated EFTPOS
Say Goodbye to EFTPOS Fees
Our fully integrated EFTPOS terminal, seamlessly integrates with your Hairware & Beautyware Software. When selecting EFTPOS as the payment method, the transaction is sent directly to the terminal, reducing the risk of keying in the wrong amounts.
Say goodbye to EFTPOS fees and merchant bills… The terminal is able to calculate and pass on the 1.59% card charges to the consumer, including the share of the terminal rental fee. Resulting in no or a very small Merchant EFTPOS bill.
We have seen salons save between $200 & $700 per month with an average saving of $320 per month or $3,840 per year.
Use your savings to upgrade your computer hardware, towards a holiday or simply reduce business expenses.

New Features and Enhancements
- NEW Email Sender: The new email sender allows for email settings other than the internet service provider. Now Gmail, live and other general ISP SMTP emails may be used.

- Client search has been made easier. Now the search for a client prompt appears as soon as the F9 Client screen is opened, without having to first choose Find Client from the Menu.
- Added the ability to resend a single email via the Email Log on clicking ‘Resend’, it will show the email address used for the failed email. If the email address is updated and saved, it will be updated in the client card.
- Updated the Email Log to show the subject of the email and details if the email fails.
- Updated how gift voucher numbers are generated in both HB software and Online Booking. It will now allow the ability to “block out” a range of gift voucher numbers for in-salon and online voucher sales by simply selling a gift voucher with no value with the voucher number before the start of where the next gift voucher number will be automatically generated.
(Example use case: A salon has printed 5000 physical gift vouchers (numbered 1 – 5000) that are to be sold in-salon and also sell vouchers online. The salon would simply sell a gift voucher (in the salon) and enter gift voucher number as 10,000 for example with a value for $0.00, by doing this, the automatic number generation will now start from 10,001 and still allow the salon to sell the physical vouchers through the system using the pre-printed number and overriding the voucher number) - Updated stock imports, will now update the new stock details if the barcode exists while preserving the salons stock levels.
- Online bookings will account for resources and/or room availability when selecting available times.
