Vagaro payments: questions, answered

How does ShopConnect Pro lower Vagaro payment processing fees?

ShopConnect Pro is a free Chrome extension that routes your Vagaro card payments through a lower cost processor of your choice instead of the processor Vagaro bundled in. You keep every Vagaro screen and workflow. We just stop The Software Tax, the markup baked into the bundled rate, from billing you. Operators typically cut 30 to 50 percent off their effective rate.

Do I have to stop using Vagaro?

No, and that is the entire point. ShopConnect Pro is built to defeat The Re-Platform Threat, the idea that the only way to leave The Captive Processor is to leave your software. You keep Vagaro. Only the processor behind your payments changes.

Will payments still reconcile inside Vagaro?

Yes. Vagaro is a Tier 1 integration, which means full auto reconciliation. Every payment posts back to the originating Vagaro record the moment it settles, with the auth code, last four, and timestamp logged. No double entry.

What does Vagaro charge for payments today?

Your Vagaro bundled payment rate is set in your contract and lands on your statement as a blended percentage. The real number, your Buried Effective Rate, hides on page three. Send us your last Vagaro statement and we will line item it for free, then show you what we would route it at.

Is ShopConnect Pro a Vagaro payments alternative?

Think of it as a Vagaro payments alternative that does not make you leave Vagaro. You run the same software. We swap the processor underneath for a lower cost one and reconcile the result back into Vagaro automatically. Same software. Different processor. Your call.
