A customer buying a branded gift card at a calm salon counter

Gift cards that carry your name.

Branded digital gift cards your customers buy for friends and family, carrying your salon's name and look. The recipient gets a card that feels like you, and the balance is ready the moment they book or check out, so a gift turns into a new client through your door.

Bought for the people they love

Customers buy a gift card for a friend, a partner, or a parent, and it lands carrying your brand, not a generic voucher.

Sell now, serve later

The money comes in the day they buy, and the service follows whenever the recipient is ready to come in.

Vouchers that count themselves.

Vouchers you issue for in-store use, with balances tracked and redeemed automatically at checkout, so nothing is counted on paper. Your team enters the voucher at the counter, Idle applies it against the bill and updates the balance, and the customer pays only the difference.

Issue in a tap

Hand a customer a voucher for a promotion, an apology, or a thank-you, and Idle holds the value against their profile.

Redeemed automatically at checkout

Enter the voucher at the counter and the balance is applied and decremented for you, with no running tally on paper.

The revenue you never collect, and the clients you never see again.

Gifting revenue left on the table

Customers would happily buy a gift for a friend, but with no way to sell one, that whole stream of upfront revenue walks past your counter.

Balances tracked by hand

Vouchers and store credit scribbled in a notebook get miscounted, double-redeemed, or honoured when they should not be, and every mistake costs you.

Nothing keeping clients coming back

A happy client leaves with no reason to return sooner. Without rewards or a membership, the next visit is left entirely to chance.

A loyal client greeted warmly at a calm salon reception

Memberships and loyalty that earn the next visit.

Keep clients coming back with points, tiers and a stamp-style reward, plus recurring memberships that entitle your regulars to perks. It all lives in the same client profile your team works from, so a regular's standing and rewards are right there the moment they walk in.

Points, tiers and stamps

Reward every visit with loyalty points and tiers and a stamp-style card, so clients earn their way to something worth coming back for.

Recurring memberships

Sign your regulars up to a membership that entitles them to perks, turning a one-off client into steady, predictable revenue.

All on the client profile

Rewards, balances and membership standing sit on the same profile your team already uses, so nothing is tracked twice.

Everything in gift cards, vouchers and loyalty

Branded gifting, automatic balance tracking, and rewards that earn repeat visits, with deeper customisation whenever you want it.
