The cash register software is the essential tool to optimize the management of your hairdressing salon. Many hairdressers choose to opt for free or low-cost cash register software. However, free cash register software can represent a risk for your hair salon's activity: scams, viruses, data collection, swindles, non-compliance with regulations... In order to avoid possible problems caused by non-approved cash register software, it is better to opt for a cash register software certified NF525 and to be aware of the risks before making your choice.
As you know, as of January 1, 2018, your cash register software must comply with the NF525 standard. If you opt for a free cash register software, there are risks that the editor of the software is neither secure nor certified. In case of control, you could be subject to a fine of 7 500 €.
To be sure you are in good standing, check that the publisher of the free cash register software is in compliance with the law. There are two ways to do this:
Free cash register software is a dream come true! No additional fees.
Yes, but be careful. A publisher necessarily has operating costs and employees to pay. So how do they manage to offer you free cash register software? That's the question you have to ask yourself.
For example, Facebook is a free tool. Their model is based on selling their audience to advertisers. In other words, they "rent" your personal or browsing data to third party companies to display advertising.
There can be multiple free hair salon checkout software templates. They might be tempted to sell your data like Facebook, to charge for extra services (for example paid training or options), or to take commissions on your online bookings.
So be careful, read the general terms and conditions of sales and use carefully to avoid unpleasant surprises. And if the publisher offers paid options, make a comparison by adding up all the additional costs. It is possible that, in the end, your "free" cash register software may cost you more than a paid software.
Choosing a free cash register software for your hair salon means taking the risk of having an unscheduled software to protect you from viruses. Or worse, you could infect your computer or tablet with a virus by downloading software that is ultimately a scam. You could unintentionally transmit information about your business and your customers, the serial number of your computer or tablet, etc. to the hackers.
Finally, free software may not sufficiently protect your personal data in order to reduce development costs. Data about you, your employees and your customers could thus be freely available on the Internet...
Opting for a hair salon software as a service ( SaaS, i.e. accessible via an app or your browser) seems to be a more reasonable choice to avoid the risks we have just seen.
