This integration brings secure, fully embedded payments directly into the salon and spa management workflows beauty professionals rely on every day.
TEMPE, AZ, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2025 — Aurora Payments, a full-service payments provider, today announced a partnership with eSpa247, a cloud-based salon and spa management platform built specifically for beauty and wellness businesses. Through this integration, Aurora’s embedded payment platform is now natively available inside eSpa247’s management system.
Embedded Payments for Salons: Streamlined Processing Within Spa Management Software
The integration allows salons and spas to accept payments securely within the same system they use to manage appointments, services, retail sales, staff scheduling, and client relationships. Payments are no longer a separate front-desk process, helping reduce friction, improve accuracy, and streamline day-to-day operations.
With ARISE embedded directly into eSpa247, beauty businesses can accept card-present, contactless, and digital payments tied to appointments, walk-ins, retail purchases, memberships, and loyalty activity. By eliminating disconnected terminals and manual reconciliation, owners gain clearer visibility into revenue, tips, and overall performance.
“Beauty businesses need payment technology that keeps pace with how they operate day to day,” said John Badovinac, SVP of Embedded Commerce at Aurora Payments. “By embedding ARISE into eSpa247, we’re giving salon and spa owners a faster, more intuitive way to accept payments while maintaining clear visibility into services, tips, and overall performance.”
Secure Payment Processing for Beauty Businesses: PCI-Compliant Integration and Unified Reporting
The integration delivers Aurora’s full payments infrastructure to eSpa247 users, including PCI-compliant security, tokenization, and real-time fraud protection. Payment data flows directly into reporting and financial dashboards, providing consolidated insights across services, retail, and locations. This unified view helps beauty businesses manage cash flow more efficiently and scale with confidence.
“Our goal with eSpa247 has always been to simplify operations for wellness professionals,” said Tony Lam, founder of eSpa247. “We provide tools for online booking, marketing, loyalty, and staff management, but adding ARISE gives our users one less system to manage and more time to focus on clients.”
Integrated Payment Solutions for Wellness Industry: Meeting Cloud-Based POS Demand
As salons and spas continue to adopt cloud-based systems and integrated POS technologies, the partnership between Aurora and eSpa247 reflects growing demand for software platforms that embed payments directly into daily workflows. Together, the companies help beauty and wellness businesses operate more efficiently while delivering a smoother, more connected guest experience.
