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.

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