Payments & POS
Square
The widely used payments and point-of-sale system for retail checkout, cards, and tap-to-pay.
What it does
Square is the general-purpose payments and POS layer many independent beauty businesses already run at the front desk: card readers and terminals, contactless and tap-to-pay, retail product sales, tipping, invoices, and a customer directory. It is separate from Square Appointments (its booking product); many salons use Square purely as the register and card processor while booking lives elsewhere.
AI features
Square AI, an assistant that answers plain-language questions about sales, inventory, and customer trends from the business's own data, plus generative help for item descriptions and campaigns.
Pricing
No monthly fee on the base POS; revenue comes from per-transaction processing (a percentage plus a fixed cents fee that varies by card-present versus keyed). Verify current rates with Square.
Pricing signals are indicative and change often. Confirm current pricing with the vendor.
How Sheen fits
Square solves one part of the picture. Sheen builds and runs the whole digital operation (website, online booking, reminders, review replies, marketing) as one system, and stays booking-system-agnostic, so you are not stitching a dozen vendors together yourself.
