Card fees in Canada
- Vagaro lists 2.65% for a dip or tap payment, 3.4% + CA$0.15 for a card typed in by hand, and 10¢ for Interac debit. On a CA$60 visit paid by tap, that's CA$1.59.
- We didn't find a rate for online card payments, or a payout fee, on Vagaro's pages. Ask Vagaro before you rely on either.
- Vagaro says you get a free card reader when you sign up for its Merchant Services. Other hardware prices are not listed.
What the monthly price doesn't include
- Card processing, billed separately at the rates above.
- Paid add-ons, each billed monthly: text reminders CA$20, customer loyalty program CA$20 and enhanced marketplace visibility CA$15. They only cost you if you switch them on.
- Hardware other than the free card reader.
- Multi-location enterprise setups. Vagaro's pricing page says those are priced à la carte, through its sales team.
Who Vagaro is right for
- You have a team and want a price that stops growing: seven or more calendars cost CA$125 a month in total.
- You want checkout, a card reader and retail in the same system as your calendar.
- You want a free marketplace listing without a commission on new clients.
Who Vagaro is less likely to suit
- You're a solo operator watching every dollar. One calendar is CA$35 a month, before card fees.
- You want every cost up front. Vagaro's pages don't list an online card rate, and text reminders, loyalty and visibility are add-ons.
- You want no marketplace around your booking page at all.
