How easy is SlickPay?
Very! Check out this short video to see how taking payment is well....Slick!
How much does it cost?
SlickPay transaction charges are 1.29% + VAT🎉. 1 simple flat fee.
This is a flat fee for all transactions via Visa Credit, Visa Debit, Mastercard Credit and Mastercard Debit cards. Transactions via Diners Club, Corporate Cards and American Express cards will be charged at an additional 2.5%
Reporting your PCI compliance this now takes minutes as Stripe has been audited by an independent PCI Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and is certified as a PCI Level 1 Service Provider.
All fees are exclusive of VAT at the prevailing rate.
Can a freelance stylist use a Slickpay reader?
Yes. However, you will need to reconnect your SlickPay reader to the network at each location you arrive to.
You can connect your device to your mobile data hotspot but as these networks are often less consistent than a wifi connection, you may still be required to consistently reconnect your reader to your network.
Optimal use of the SlickPay reader would be in a single salon location with consistently good password protected wifi or a direct connection via ethernet cable. Slick and Stripe cannot accept responsibility for devices with connectivity issues due to location or business model.
What card brands are supported?
Visa, Mastercard, (Including Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and contactless cards).
American Express is supported however this incurs an additional charge from American Express of 2.5%
Can clients use Apple Pay or Google Pay?
Yes, Apple Pay and Google Pay are supported.
Does the SlickPay Card Terminal save client card details?
No, the SlickPay Card Terminal does not save card details for future use.
Where can I see more information on each transaction?
Each transaction will appear under the Daily Cash Up function in your Slick account .
How do I update my reader software?
No need to manually update - readers will automatically update to the latest software from Stripe at midnight each night. If you are prompted to manually update the reader please do. This may take a few minutes.
Does the terminal print paper receipts?
No, the SlickPay terminal doesn’t print receipts. However, you will be prompted after checkout to send an email receipt to your customer.
If you wish to re-send an email receipt, this can be done from the Client Profile.
Does the terminal support remote / over the phone payments?

It features a 10/100 Ethernet port, rubber feet for stable countertop usage, and is designed for easy docking and undocking using the pins on the back of the reader.

How long does the battery last?
The reader has energy saving functionalities to save on battery life when not in use. With a full charge but aggressive usage, it is expected to last ~ 8 hours (of continuous use). But we've seen the WisePOS E last as long as 15 hours under minimal usage.
We recommend purchasing the Stripe display and charging dock to keep your salon looking slick and reader ready to go at all times! Order yours here!
