WHY TALOPET
What makes this different
Most grooming software treats payments as a profit center. We don't.
Bring your own terminal
Use the Square, Clover, or Stripe terminal you already own. No forced hardware purchases. No $500+ proprietary devices.
Zero fees from Talopet
We never add a single cent on top of what your processor charges. No per-transaction fees, no rate markups, no hidden surcharges.
Direct pass-through rates
You pay exactly what Square or Stripe charges. We don't add 0.3% + $0.40 on top like others do. Your processor's rate is your rate.
One-click connection
Authorize your payment account, terminals are detected automatically. Under 60 seconds. No API keys, no technicians.
No lock-in
Your hardware is yours. Switch processors anytime. No contracts, no cancellation fees.
One price. Zero payment fees.
$199/month gets you the full grooming platform. Payments connect in one click. We never touch your transaction revenue.
Other grooming software: Forced proprietary hardware ($500+), plus 2-3% skimmed off every transaction on top of processor fees.
Rate markups: They add 0.3% + $0.40 per transaction on top of what the processor already charges. On $20K/month revenue, that's ~$500/month gone.
Talopet: One plan. Bring your own terminal. Zero fees from us. Your revenue stays yours.
