Take DuitNow QR payments that confirm themselves
The problem
The client scans your DuitNow QR, types the amount and holds up their phone. The stylist glances at the screen and hopes it is today's payment for the right amount. At closing, QR pay does not match the bank and nobody knows which sale is short.
How NexStyle handles it
Connect your salon's own HitPay account. At checkout the tablet shows a DuitNow QR for the exact bill, so the client does not type an amount. When they pay, the tablet sees it within a few seconds and records the sale as paid. Nobody checks a screenshot.
The money goes straight to your HitPay account. NexStyle never holds it. HitPay charges its own fees: about 1.2% for DuitNow QR in Malaysia at the time of writing. Check HitPay's price page for the current rate.
Step by step
Step 1: Get your HitPay keys
Sign up with HitPay as a business if you have not already. In your HitPay dashboard, find the API keys page and copy the API key and the salt shown next to it.
Step 2: Add them in NexStyle
In the admin, open Integrations and find the HitPay card. Paste the API key and the API salt. NexStyle encrypts them before storing them.
Step 3: Choose what clients can pay with
Under Payment methods on the tablet, tick DuitNow QR. Tick Touch 'n Go, GrabPay or ShopeePay too if you want to offer them.
Step 4: Switch it on and test
Turn on Enabled and save. Then select Test connection to check the keys work.
Tablets pick up the change on their next sync. Tap the sync button at the top right of a tablet to update it straight away.
Step 5: Take a payment at the chair
When the service is done, the stylist chooses Pay by QR (auto-confirmed). The tablet shows a QR for the exact bill, and the client scans it with their banking or e-wallet app.
Within a few seconds of the client paying, the tablet shows the sale as paid. It is saved under the stylist and the chair, like any other sale.
Step 6: Check the Payments page
In the admin, open Payments to see every QR payment taken through HitPay. If money arrived but no sale was saved with it, the payment is marked No sale linked so you can record that sale by hand.
Card tap on the tablet is not supported. Your own DuitNow QR stays on the tablet as Shop QR, and salons without HitPay keep using it as before.
