How Subscriptions Can Amplify The Beauty Industry

The beauty industry is bursting with recurring payment options, from blow dry clubs to fortnightly nail appointments. But following up on the payments from clients can be a headache. Phone calls, emails, late fees, and disgruntled customers.

Billycart changes that.

Say you own a hair salon and see a gap in the market to begin offering your clients a monthly subscription to a blow dry club at your salon. For $50 a month, they now have access to weekly blow drys and exclusive salon discounts. 

But how will you take this $50 monthly fee?...

You could manually process the $50 each month yourself, but with 40 clients taking up this offer, that is already timely. It will become more timely when the $50 doesn’t go through for eight of your clients who joined the club. This now means eight phone calls to find out when you can try again to process the payment.

Cue Billycart…

At Billycart, we live and breathe recurring payments. The Billycart platform takes away manual processing, the follow-up and works in the best interest of your business and your customer's needs. You are in control of your payments when you use Billycart. You choose the late fees (and you get to keep them if you charge them!), you choose the grace period, you choose the amount, and you can give your customers the flexibility to pick their payment date to ensure you get paid on time.

How does it work?

Step one: Your customer has signed up for your blow-dry club. You then set up a Billycart Smart Payment Agreement™ through the platform by entering in the amount, the frequency and their details.

Step two: Your customer receives an email and accesses the portal. You’ve set their payment to come out on Tuesdays, but they get paid Wednesday mornings. They adjust the payment day, so they know they can pay you without being charged the $10 late fee you set.

Step three: Let the recurring bills turn into recurring delight for both you and your customer. This payment will continue recurring without you having to lift a finger (unless you would like to make any adjustments).
