Service POS
Appointment-driven checkout for salons, clinics, and pros.
Service businesses charge for time, products, and packages — and tip handling has its own rules. CloudIP service POS turns an appointment into a check-in, a check-in into a checkout, and a checkout into a payment that posts to the books.
Memberships and packages are billed naturally.

Service POS on the CloudIP platform
Where this capability lives, who runs it, and what it shares with the rest of the system.
Service POS runs as part of the CloudIP Point of Sale module on the same multi-tenant infrastructure as every other capability you use. There is no separate console to log into and no separate billing line: service business POS is provisioned the moment your tenant is created and stays in lockstep with the rest of the platform as it grows.
Operators interact with service business POS through the Point of Sale interface they already know — the same record screens, the same audit trail, the same role and permission model. Behind the scenes, appointment-driven checkout handles the heavy lifting, while tip handling keep the experience consistent across teams. Configuration changes are versioned, exportable, and reviewable, so the way you run service business POS today is reproducible tomorrow.
Because Service POS reuses the platform's user database, every action is attributable, every record has a stable ID, and every export honours the tenant's data residency choice. That means service business POS reports tie out to the rest of the books, audit logs, and operational dashboards without an integration step in between.
Service POS fits inside CloudIP Point of Sale alongside the other point of sale capabilities — they share the same data model, so improvements in one tend to compound across the others. If you are evaluating CloudIP specifically for service business POS, the rest of Point of Sale comes along at no extra cost.
Common questions about Service POS
Service POS is appointment-driven: the ticket starts from a booking, not from a barcode scan. Service items, time-based pricing, technician commission, and tip routing are first-class concepts. Inventory is for retail add-ons, not the primary checkout.
