Ready to Integrate Your Payments? Here is How to Get Started
Twelve weeks ago, we started a conversation about something a lot of salon owners deal with but rarely talk about. Every day, across thousands of Australian salons, payment amounts are being manually typed from software screens into EFTPOS terminals. Every day, some of those amounts are entered incorrectly. Every evening, someone is spending 20 to 40 minutes trying to reconcile records that do not quite match. It does not have to be this way. This week is the last one. And it ends with one question: are you ready to set it up?
What You Are Leaving Behind
When you connect your EFTPOS terminal to Simple Salon, you leave behind:
Manual amount entry at every checkout – the source of every transposition error.
End-of-day discrepancies caused by two systems that do not talk to each other.
30-minute reconciliation sessions that should take five minutes.
Checkout errors that require refunds, re-processes, and difficult client conversations.
The mental overhead of managing a payment layer that requires active attention.
None of these are catastrophic on their own. But they compound. They are the background hum of a salon running harder than it needs to.
What You Are Gaining
From the moment you complete setup:
Every checkout: Simple Salon sends the total to your terminal automatically. Client taps. Done.
Every end-of-day: Your terminal records and Simple Salon records match – because they are the same records.
Every large transaction: The amount is sent programmatically, not typed. No decimal errors.
Every membership charge: If you use Simple Salon’s membership features, they work cleaner with integrated payments underneath.
Every shift: Your staff have one step removed from checkout, permanently.
How to Get Started Today
Step 1: Find your credentials
For Tyro: your Merchant ID (MID) and Terminal ID (TID) – on your terminal receipts or Tyro account. For ANZ Worldline: your terminal’s IP address and port number – from terminal settings or ANZ Worldline directly.
Step 2: Open Simple Salon settings
Menu, then Configuration, then Integrated EFTPOS.
Step 3: Select your provider and enter your details
Follow the pairing steps for your provider (Tyro: Authorise POS; ANZ Worldline: enter IP/port and test connection).
Step 4: Run a test transaction
Confirm the full flow works. If it does, you are live.
Step 5: Brief your team
One new step: Process Payment instead of manually typing into the terminal. Most teams are comfortable within their first shift.
That is the whole thing.

The Last Thing
Over the past twelve weeks, we have tried to be genuinely useful – not just to talk about a feature, but to help you understand why it matters and give you everything you need to actually use it.
The salons that have made this change do not think about checkout anymore. They think about their clients, their team, and their business. The payment layer runs quietly in the background, the way it should.
That version of your salon is five minutes away.
