"Cut was lovely but the colour came out a shade darker than the photo I brought in. Wondering if we could pop in for a gloss tweak — happy to pay if needed."

"Studio was lovely but the waiting area felt a bit cold. Could you put the heater on a bit earlier on weekend mornings?"

Clients below the threshold land here instead of on Google. 3 routed privately this month — and zero negative reviews on your public Google profile.

Stripe handles operator KYC + Apple/Google Pay automatically.

Want to compare providers? You can also connect your own — money still goes straight to you, never to ForgeFox.

Pros
  • Best online checkout — Apple Pay + Google Pay built in
  • Cheapest online fees: 1.5% + 20p (UK)
  • Stripe Connect handles operator KYC automatically
  • Strong refund + dispute tooling
Trade-offs
  • No first-party terminal — use a reader add-on (~£59 one-off)
  • Setup is a touch longer than SumUp
Connect Stripe
Pros
  • Best terminal hardware — readers from £19
  • Strong in-person experience + POS integration
  • In-person fees 1.75%
  • Familiar if you're moving from Setmore or Fresha
Trade-offs
  • Online checkout UX is more dated than Stripe
  • Sandbox / production switching is clunky
Connect Square
Pros
  • Cheapest reader: £19 one-off, no monthly fee
  • Offline card support — Solo reader works without internet
  • UK-native — fast onboarding
  • 1.69% flat per transaction
Trade-offs
  • Online checkout lacks Apple/Google Pay
  • Settlement on free plan is next-business-day
Connect SumUp
Pros
  • Universal customer recognition + trust
  • Older customers often prefer it
  • Easy refund flow
Trade-offs
  • Higher fees: 2.9% + 30p UK
  • Sometimes forces customers into a PayPal account
  • Buyer-biased dispute resolution

⭐ Smart Review Router

Clients rate you first inside ForgeFox. High ratings get prompted to post to Google. Anything below the threshold routes to a private feedback form — so a bad day never lands as a 1★ public review.

When off, the review-request link goes straight to Google as before.
Last 30 days · 18 review requests sent · 15 routed to Google · 3 private · 0 negative reviews on Google

Print tips
  • Download PNG for the cleanest print — works down to 2cm × 2cm.
  • The logo in the centre is your brand mark; the QR stays scannable thanks to error correction.
  • Add a one-line caption like “Scan to book” so people know what it does.
Tagged links by channel

Each channel gets its own URL and QR so you can see which sources actually drive bookings.

💺 Seats

Each seat is a bookable stylist station. Clients pick the stylist they want, each stylist sees only their own diary, and the studio dashboard rolls up the lot.
