CheckoutX – Now Integrated into Booksalon PRO for Seamless In-App Payments

Surfboard Payments is proud to introduce CheckoutX, a SoftPOS app for both iOS and Android that enables businesses to accept card payments directly on their devices—no extra hardware required. Booksalon, Finland’s most loved business platform for beauty salons, hairdressers, and wellness professionals, has integrated CheckoutX with white-label functionality, allowing merchants to accept payments seamlessly from within the Booksalon PRO app.

With this integration, Booksalon PRO users in Finland and Sweden can now manage their entire business—including bookings, customer relationships, and payments—all in one app. By simply downloading Booksalon PRO from the App Store or Google Play and pairing it with CheckoutX, merchants can start accepting contactless payments with ease. This removes the need for traditional payment terminals, reducing costs and improving the overall efficiency of businesses.

The solution supports a variety of payment methods, including contactless cards, digital wallets, and alternative payment options like Swish and Klarna. Whether on iPhone or Android, beauty and wellness professionals can now offer a fast, secure, and convenient checkout experience to their customers. This ensures a seamless transaction process, providing clients with a modern, hassle-free way to pay for their services.

We’re excited to bring in-app payments to our Booksalon PRO users. Now, they can run their entire business from a single app

Tim Lundqvist, COO at Surfboard Payments, commented on the launch: “CheckoutX is designed to make payments as frictionless as possible for merchants. By integrating it into Booksalon PRO, beauty and wellness professionals can now manage their businesses without the need for separate payment devices. This is a game-changer for independent professionals and small businesses looking to streamline operations.”

Booksalon’s CEO, Harri Myllylä, added: “We’re excited to bring in-app payments to our Booksalon PRO users. Now, they can run their entire business from a single app—managing clients, bookings, and payments without hassle. Our goal has always been to make running a beauty business as simple as possible, and this integration takes us one step further in achieving that.”

By eliminating the need for additional payment hardware, CheckoutX also enables businesses to reduce setup time and operational costs. Salons, tattoo parlors, and wellness professionals can now focus on their craft rather than worrying about payment logistics. With built-in security features and compliance with the latest payment industry standards, merchants and customers alike can trust that transactions are safe and reliable.

This launch highlights Surfboard Payments' commitment to making payment acceptance more accessible and flexible. Businesses that rely on mobile solutions can now accept payments anytime, anywhere—whether in a salon, on the go, or at events. This further reinforces the shift towards digital-first payment solutions that cater to the evolving needs of modern businesses.
