Rent out chairs and suites. Keep the line.
Set renters up on Booth rent or Suite rental, turn on No payments for the location, and let each pro add their own payment links. The shop runs the line and collects rent. Customers pay the pro directly.
- Booth rent or Suite rental
- No payments, per location
- Each pro adds their own links
- Money goes straight to the pro
Two pay setups for renters
Each team member has a pay setup. Booth rent and Suite rental are for pros who rent from you: their tips and services go on their own statement, less the rent they pay you.
- Booth rent.For pros renting a chair, booth or station on the shared floor.
- Suite rental.For pros who run their own business from a private room you rent them. It works exactly like booth rent; only the space differs.
- Rent has its own setup.Rent is an amount and a schedule (weekly, every two weeks or monthly) for each renter, set separately from the pay setup. Rent is on Pro, and the free trial has it.
- Packages and memberships.The ones a renter sells themselves are theirs, on their statement.
Commission, booth rent and suite rental can sit side by side.
Each pro adds their own payment links
On a team member’s profile, under Staff, “Get paid directly” takes the links customers use to pay that person. The pro fills in their own, and an owner or manager can too.
- Cash App, Venmo and Zelle.A Cash App cashtag, a Venmo username, and a Zelle phone number or email.
- Their own pay link.Any https link. A pro with a pay link from their own processor, such as Square, Stripe or PayPal, pastes it in, and that link decides what the customer can use, Apple Pay included.
- Only what they fill in.Customers see the boxes that are filled in, and nothing at all when none is.
- Display only.NextUp Walk-in shows the links. It does not take, hold, forward or record the payment.
The money goes to you, not to the shop or NextUp Walk-in.
What the customer sees
The links show on the customer’s check-in page while they wait, and on the pro’s own public page. A signed-in team member also finds them on the staff screen, behind “Show pay links”.
- One line goes with them.“Paid straight to {Name}, not to the shop or NextUp Walk-in.” It uses that pro’s own name.
- Cash App and Venmo open.Each is a button that opens the app. A pay link of their own is a “Pay online” button.
- Zelle is copied.The phone number or email shows as text with a Copy button, for the customer to paste into their bank’s app.
Paid straight to Avery P., not to the shop or NextUp Walk-in.

The small things
What No payments turns off
Check out, Quick sale, tips, gift cards and unpaid-bill alerts, plus online deposits, no-show fees, packages and memberships at that location. Done just finishes the visit.
Per location, and reversible
One location can take no payments while another runs as usual. Nothing is deleted, so switching it back brings every screen back.
Rent stays rent
NextUp Walk-in takes no card fee on rent, and your NextUp plan billing does not change.
No record of those payments
A payment made through a pro’s own link happens outside NextUp Walk-in, so it is not in the shop’s reports or on a NextUp receipt.
Questions
Does NextUp Walk-in take the money when a customer uses a pay link?
No. The links only point to the pro’s own account. The customer pays the pro directly, and NextUp Walk-in does not take, hold, forward or record the payment.
Which plan do I need?
Booth rent and Suite rental, with rent collected on a schedule, are on Pro and the Restaurant plan, and the free trial has them. On Walk-in, new rent can’t be set up, but rent agreements made before a downgrade keep running.
Can a pro take Apple Pay?
NextUp Walk-in does not add Apple Pay to these links. A pro who has a pay link from their own processor, such as a Square, Stripe or PayPal link, can paste it in as their own link, and that link decides what the customer can use.
Who can add a pro’s payment links?
The pro, from their own sign-in, and an owner or manager. Each box is optional, and customers see only the ones that are filled in.
Does the app decide whether someone is a renter or an employee?
No. It offers different pay setups, and which one fits a person depends on your situation and your state’s rules. Confirm it with a qualified professional.
Can I turn No payments off again?
Yes. Nothing is deleted, so switching it back on at the location brings checkout, tips and the other payment screens back.
