The High-Ticket Fee Problem
Lash services have some of the highest ticket sizes in beauty — which means flat-rate fees cost you more.
Flat-Rate Fees Scale With Your Prices
Lash extension services typically run $120-$300. At flat-rate pricing (2.6% + $0.10), you're paying $3.22-$7.90 per transaction. With interchange-plus, those fees drop significantly — because you pay the actual card cost, not a padded flat rate.*
Tips Add Hidden Fee Volume
Processing fees are charged on the total amount including tip. On a $180 service with a $36 tip, you're paying fees on $216. Across a full book, tip volume alone generates hundreds in unnecessary annual processing costs.
Deposits and Prepayments Compound the Cost
If you collect deposits at booking and the remainder at service, you're paying per-transaction fees twice on the same appointment. ChargeAct can help structure your payment workflow to minimize double-fee exposure.
Venmo and Cash App Cost You in Other Ways
Solo lash artists often use Venmo or Cash App for convenience — but these platforms offer no seller protections, no proper transaction records, and can freeze your account without warning. A legitimate merchant account costs less than you think and protects your income.
Peak Seasons Mean Peak Fee Exposure
Wedding season, prom season, and holiday parties drive the highest appointment volume — and the highest processing fee totals. Lower rates during peak months mean you keep more of your busiest season's revenue. ChargeAct's interchange-plus pricing ensures your costs stay predictable even as volume spikes.*

Why High-Ticket Services Benefit Most From Interchange-Plus
The percentage savings on interchange-plus pricing scale with your ticket size. On a $180 lash service, the difference between flat-rate (2.6%) and interchange-plus can save you $2-$3 per transaction. Over 100 appointments per month, that's $200-$300 in monthly savings — or $2,400-$3,600 annually.*
