The integration will allow thousands of beauty sellers that use Square to use SalonInteractive’s platform to sell professional salon and spa products online and market to their clients.


SalonInteractive, the beauty industry’s eCommerce and marketing platform, today announced the launch of its integration with Square, the globally trusted software, hardware, and payments company. The new offering enables sellers to incorporate SalonInteractive’s eCommerce and marketing into their Square account directly from the Square App Marketplace.
SalonInteractive provides free, customizable Online Stores to beauty professionals, so their clients have a convenient way to purchase professional products from their local businesses. Salons and spas can set up their Online Stores in minutes and start earning commissions with purchases shipped directly to clients through a network of authorized distributors.
Beauty professionals can send Product Recommendations and introduce clients to their Online Store in a few simple steps. SalonInteractive also offers powerful marketing features, including automated and mass emails with industry-specific templates, campaign tracking, and dedicated onboarding - all designed to keep clients informed and engaged.
“I’m no longer just all over the place in all these different systems or trying to check a million things to stay in contact with clients,” said Michaela Koestler, an independent stylist and Square seller who recently connected her account with SalonInteractive. “I’ve had on my to-do list forever that I need to implement my new client emails into SalonInteractive - with this new Square integration, it’s nice to not have to do it manually.”
SalonInteractive also provides direct access to data with a detailed product catalog of over 400 brands. The product catalog provides education at the beauty professional’s fingertips, with information living in one place for their entire team.
