Payments and POS Built for Service-Based Retailers

You’re not moving products off shelves—you’re managing appointments, collecting tips, and creating loyal clients. Wingman Payments customizes your solution to fit your flow, not the other way around.

Positioned for Service Retailers

The modern retail industry, particularly for service-based businesses like salons, spas, and repair shops, operates differently than a traditional product-based store. Unlike retailers who focus on moving products, service providers manage appointments, cultivate client relationships, and handle a variety of payment methods, including tips. They build a “high-touch” business that relies on personal interaction, not warehouse management.

Wingman Payments acts as a financial co-pilot for these service-oriented retailers, providing customized payment solutions that fit their unique workflow. Instead of offering a generic, one-size-fits-all product, Wingman works closely with each business to recommend the right hardware, software, and pricing strategy. This hands-on approach ensures that businesses have the right tools to streamline their operations, reduce costs, and provide a smooth, flexible checkout experience for their customers.

Built for High Uptime, Real Revenue, and Zero Stress

Problems We Solve

Wingman Payments addresses several key pain points for service-based retailers that often go unaddressed by traditional payment processors.

For the Business

High credit card processing fees

Traditional fees can significantly eat into a business’s profit margins. Wingman’s dual pricing program offers a way to legally and transparently offset these costs.

No-show appointments

For service providers who take appointments, no-shows represent lost revenue. Wingman’s systems allow for the collection of deposits to protect against this.

Complex or generic POS systems

Many service-based businesses are forced to use POS systems designed for product-based retail. This leads to fragmented, inefficient workflows. Wingman provides customized and integrated solutions that fit the specific needs of service providers, from booking to tipping.

Confusing compliance requirements

Staying up-to-date with complex Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance can be a significant burden. Wingman’s “concierge PCI” service handles this automatically, protecting businesses from costly non-compliance fees.

For the Customer

Awkward or missing tip options

Standard POS terminals often have clunky or nonexistent tipping functions. Wingman offers custom tip screens that provide a smooth, intuitive experience for clients.

Poor checkout experience

A slow or inconvenient checkout process can lead to frustration and lower customer satisfaction. By offering flexible, mobile, and contactless payment options, Wingman ensures a fast and easy experience.

FAQ

Can I accept tips with all your systems?

Yes. We recommend systems with preset tip percentages or custom input options.

Is dual pricing allowed for service businesses?

Yes. We ensure proper disclosure and signage to make it compliant and client-friendly.

Do you offer mobile terminals?

Absolutely—great for on-location services or mobile.

What if I also sell products?

We’ll pair a POS that handles both inventory and service checkout smoothly.

Super easy to work w Scott! Great communication and customer service! Payments are done less thing I have to worry about since switching to wingman
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great feedback! We're glad Scott provided the communication and service you deserve in Florida. Welcome to the Wingman family, we're honored to be your trusted payment partner!
We were initially with another company and the app was a nightmare to use. We switched to Wingman Payments and am very happy with this credit card processing. Mike walked me through the set up and after that I sat down with our techs and set the app up on their phones. The set up process was so easy, it was done within minutes. Taking payments from customers is very quick and this app is very user friendly. I highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Michele, thank you for the kind words! We’re thrilled to hear the setup process was quick and easy for you and your team. Thank you for trusting Wingman Payments, we're grateful for the opportunity to support APEX Services!

Easy, responsive, knowledgeable. I knew nothing going into this and they took care of me, gave me options and explained why the systems they recommended were appropriate for my small shop. Every system has downsides and they were upfront and honest about them. No surprises here. Would recommend and use again.
Response from the owner:Thanks, James! We're grateful for the opportunity to work with you and appreciate the recommendation. We can't wait to watch V's Coffee Cabal become a Roswell favorite.

I’m currently the owner operator of Breathe Easy Concierge Mechanic. We are a mobile mechanic service that goes for our customers. When I met with Weston and Mike. I made it very clear that my struggles with taking Payment for my clients for overcomplicated with the current CRM system I use. Mike took an hour of his time to go line by a line with my QuickBooks, my stripe CRM system, my current charge back on credit card statements to determine if his system made sense for me to use. He made it very clear upfront what the cost has been for my merchant service per transaction and showed me exactly what my monthly charge would be. Personally, I didn’t believe him until the first statement came out. Because of my experience, it’s always been hidden fees an additional surcharge chargebacks. This is not the case. To the penny, every transaction has been accounted for my bank deposits have matched, and my credit card monthly fee to have PCI compliance has cost exactly what he’s promised. Month two into the service we had an anomaly of a charge hit our system from his company. I called. Mike asked him aMonth two into the service we had an anomaly of a charge hit our system from his company. I called Mike asked him a question and Mike rectify the issue within 24 hours and gave us a credit back and changed something in the software settings that was overlooked. Mike acknowledged The error was internal and won’t happen again. The reason why I type all this is if you’re looking for somebody who is going to be transparent with you about his industry, Mike and Weston or who you should do business with. They care to answer your call. And they have no problem telling you if they’re not a good fit for you. Highly recommend Wingman Payments. They really do have your SIX
Response from the owner:David (a.k.a. “Super Dave”) — you’re family now. 😄 Thank you for the trust, the kind words, and for sharing the real story of what it’s like to work together. You keep taking great care of your customers, we’ll keep taking great care of you. Highly appreciate you, David. We’ve got your six.

As the owner of a digital marketing, social media, videography, and paid ads agency, finding a trustworthy payment processor was critical. I work with clients across the country and was referred to Wingman Payments in Alpharetta, GA and even operating remotely, the service and transparency have been outstanding especially after my previous account was abruptly shut down and I was forced onto higher processing fees and almost no support. They offer transparent payment processing with every fee explained upfront with no hidden markups. My rates are competitive, my statements are clear, and I finally feel like I understand exactly what I'm paying for. The next-day funding has been a huge benefit for managing cash flow between client invoices, and their seamless support for online credit card or ACH payments fit perfectly with my business model. If you're a marketing agency, social media manager, videographer, or digital advertiser in the Atlanta metro area looking for a payment processing partner that's honest, responsive, and cost-effective, look no further than Wingman Payments. Five stars without hesitation.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words—we really appreciate you taking the time to write this. We know how important it is to have a payment processor you can actually trust, especially when you’re working with clients all over the country. Hearing that the transparency, support, and next‑day funding have made things easier for your business means a lot to us. We’re especially glad we could step in after a tough situation and help bring some clarity and stability back to your payment processing. Thanks again for trusting Wingman Payments. We’re grateful and happy to have your six. — The Wingman Payments Team

I’ve had a great experience with Wingman Payments. Mike and Josh are extremely responsive, take my concerns seriously, and actually follow through. Which is a stark contrast to my previous processor.
