MoeGo Pay is the payment system MoeGo is built to run on. It's how charges get processed inside MoeGo, how transactions stay automatically connected to appointments and clients, and how features like prepayment, pre-authorization, dispute support, and next-day payout actually work.
Operating MoeGo without MoeGo Pay means running payments through a separate processor on the side — which keeps your two systems disconnected and leaves you without the protection and automation features built into MoeGo.
Before MoeGo Pay vs. After MoeGo Pay
MoeGo's scheduling, checkout, and reporting are designed to function as one connected system. That only works when payments are processed inside MoeGo — which is what MoeGo Pay does. Running a separate processor on the side breaks the connection.
Here's what changes the day MoeGo Pay turns on:
| ❌ Before MoeGo Pay | ✅ After MoeGo Pay |
Where the card actually gets charged | Outside MoeGo — in your separate processor's app, terminal, or web portal | Inside MoeGo — directly through your hardware, online invoice, or Tap to Pay |
How payments are actually completed | Two-step process. Staff enter the amount in MoeGo as a record, then re-enter it in your outside processor or terminal to actually charge the card. | One-step process. Charge the card directly in MoeGo — through cards on file, Pay Online, Tap to Pay, Bluetooth Reader, or Smart Reader. |
What MoeGo records | A standalone payment record — no transaction details, no link to the actual charge in your processor | An automatic, fully-detailed transaction connected to the appointment and the client |
Whether MoeGo knows if it succeeded or failed | No — you have to check the other system separately, and reconcile by hand | Yes — every approval, decline, and refund syncs back instantly |
What you do day-to-day | Switch between MoeGo and your processor; reconcile manually at end of day | Stay in one system; everything is already connected |
What features you can use | Basic checkout only | Everything on this page |
Everything below is part of MoeGo Pay — not optional add-ons, but how MoeGo is built to handle payments.
What MoeGo Pay unlocks for your business
Here's everything that comes with being on MoeGo Pay, grouped by what it does for your day-to-day.
💰 Faster cash flow and stronger earnings
Get your earnings in your bank by the next business day. Instead of waiting the standard payout cycle, transactions processed before the daily cut-off arrive in your bank the next business day — at no extra cost.
Help your team earn more in tips, without an awkward ask. Configure suggested tip amounts that show up at checkout, so tipping feels natural for clients and easy for staff — not skipped or rushed past.
Stop letting card fees eat into every service. Where local rules allow, MoeGo Pay can automatically pass the credit card processing fee to the client at checkout — so your margin stays your margin. (US & AU business only; details in the article.)
🛡️ Protection against no-shows, cancellations, and chargebacks
Get paid before the appointment, not chasing it after. Require partial or full payment when clients book online. A no-show stops being a lost service slot and lost revenue.
Hold the funds the day before — capture only what's actually owed. MoeGo Pay places a temporary authorization on the client's card 24 hours before the appointment, so last-minute cancellations don't leave you empty-handed. (Not applicable in UK; details in the article.)
Save the card once, charge it any time. Securely store a client's card so you can speed up checkout, recover no-show fees, or charge add-on services without asking for the card again.
Catch bad cards before they become a problem. MoeGo Pay verifies the card is active and valid the moment it's saved — so the no-show fee or pre-auth you rely on later actually goes through. (Not applicable in UK; details in the article.)
Don't fight chargebacks alone. When a client disputes a charge, MoeGo alerts you immediately and our payment team helps gather and submit evidence — service details, signed agreements, communication history — directly through MoeGo. You can also add your own evidence at any point in the process.
