Common questions

How does Open Sky match a salon with a processor?

We look at volume, average ticket, card mix, and the specific risk profile of salons — then route the business to whichever partner in our network is actually built for that combination, not a generic one-size-fits-all account.

Why do processors treat salons differently?

Tip processing and stylist commission splits that don't map cleanly to a standard settlement report.

Can I switch processors without disrupting operations?

Yes. A properly structured transition runs the new processor in parallel before fully cutting over, so there's no gap in accepting payment.
