Nail Salon Merchant Accounts

1st National’s Nail Salon Merchant Account is custom designed for convenience, efficiency and overall savings.  Nail Salons process high volumes of low ticket transactions and have a very low profit margin.  To remain profitable on all credit card, debit card and check card sales, salon merchants need a merchant account with a very low rate and an extremely low transaction fee or no transaction fee at all.  1st National specializes in Nail Salon Merchant Accounts and offers both programs depending on the needs of the particular merchant.   Nail salon merchants will have the ability to accept credit cards, debit cards, and check cards and can also add other point of sale merchant services such as check guarantee, gift cards, value cards, and loyalty cards. To process these transactions, merchants can choose from any standard credit card terminal and printer combination, smartphone payment application, or our specialized salon POS system.

Our Nail Salon Credit Card Processing devices can authorize credit cards via an analog telephone line, a digital phone line, or a high speed Ethernet, cable, Wi-Fi, and wireless connection for high traffic locations or merchants on the go.  Any of the credit card terminals offered by 1st National can support nail salon merchant account applications with or without tip and server programs.   Most of them can accept multi merchant programs so independent contractors can have their own merchant accounts. This proves to be a very useful and time saving feature for salon merchants who don’t want to co-mingle funds and take the time to divide and distribute them each and every month.  Salon merchants on the go and / or independent contractors renting a space can take advantage of our smartphone credit card processing applications.  1st National supports most smartphone solutions available in the industry and offers multiple applications to satisfy the many needs of salon merchants such as Mobile Merchant Pro, a free, easy to use, no swipe device required program and USA ePay a very advanced application featuring swipe, print and inventory control.  And for the high traffic, high volume salons, 1st National’s Salon Specific Fully Integrated POS Systems provides you with all of the tools you need to completely manage, control inventory and market your business.  All of these options are readily available for quick installation and can be obtained via free placement, cash purchase, or financing depending on the needs of the merchants and all products are backed by 1st National's Superior Service and Support.

Nail Salon Merchant Accounts also fall into a very special category because they are very low risk and process a large quantity of small ticket credit card, debit card and check card transactions.  1st National offers 2 nail salon merchant account programs both with very low rates.  Our unbundled program has both an extremely low percentage rate and minimal transaction fee of 15 cents per transaction.  Our bundled program has a slightly higher percentage rate and “No Transaction Fee”.  And with both programs the merchant will be able to accept all forms of electronic payments including Visa, Master Card, Amex, Discover, Debit Cards and Check Cards. The most important feature of our nail salon merchant account is the fact that our tip program application is fully compliant and will not downgrade when communicating to Visa & Master Card.  This is a very important feature because the tip applications of most merchant service providers are not specifically designed for nail salons. This non compliant application causes about 75% of the transactions to not qualify with Visa and Master Card which results in the merchant paying much higher fees.  This is not the case with 1st National's nail salon merchant account applications.

For nail salon merchants using a credit card terminal or smartphone credit card processing application there is little or “No Start-Up Costs” and “Free Terminal Placements or Free Smartphone Applications are available”.   Accounts can be live and active in less than 24 hours.  Nail salon merchant accounts typically carry a flat monthly fee of $5.00 per month, no monthly minimum and no annual fee.   For qualified merchants 1st National also offers merchant accounts with a free terminal program, bundled rates for low ticket merchants, and interchange pass through for high volume locations, franchises and associations.
