Connected paymentsIncluded with Pro

Accept payments without leaving the system that runs the appointment.

Barelae brings merchant processing into the same operating environment as appointments, clients, packages, memberships, products and service records, including a card on file for online bookings.

Built into Barelae

Checkout should feel like part of the workflow.

When the appointment, client and payment live in separate systems, every checkout creates more reconciliation work. Barelae is designed to keep those pieces closer together.

One business record

Payments are more useful when they stay connected to everything else.

Barelae is not trying to be a standalone payment terminal. Payments are one part of a larger system for running the business.

Client context

Keep payment activity closer to the client and appointment instead of in a disconnected processor dashboard.

Retail & catalog

Use the same catalog and inventory environment for products you sell alongside services.

Memberships & packages

Support recurring and packaged client relationships where enabled in Barelae's current workflow.

Card on file & no-show policy

A saved card and a clear policy, before the appointment.

Turn on card-required booking and clients securely save a card through your connected Stripe account when they book online. You set the no-show and late-cancellation fees, and clients accept your policy and authorize charges to their saved card before the booking is confirmed.

The card is not charged at booking
No-show and late-cancellation fees: a flat amount, a percentage or the full service price
Barelae keeps a copy of the policy each client accepted with the appointment
Stripe holds the card. Barelae never stores full card numbers.

Less tool switching

The goal is a smoother front desk, even when the front desk is you.

For a solo artist, every extra login and every manually re-entered transaction adds friction. Barelae is designed to reduce that handoff.
