Money Tips

How do I pay my hairdresser or nail tech with PayShap?

• 21 Oct 2026

Pay them with an Instant Payment via PayShap from the GoTyme Bank app using their cellphone number. The money lands in their account instantly, so they can see it before you leave the chair. Payments up to R5,000 are free with GoTyme Bank.

No card machine, no problem

Plenty of hairdressers, braiders, barbers and nail techs work from home or a small studio without a card machine. Cash means a trip to the ATM and an EFT can take days to clear. PayShap beats both. You pay from your phone and they get a notification the moment it lands, so there is no screenshot to check.

How to pay at the end of your appointment

  1. Open the GoTyme Bank app and tap Pay.
  2. Choose to pay a cellphone number, enter their number and select their bank.
  3. Check their registered name, add the amount and your name as the reference, then confirm.

Are you a stylist? Get your business paid with a Payment Request

If you do hair or nails, you can send your client a Payment Request via PayShap instead. It lands in their banking app with the amount filled in and they approve it before they go. Sending one is free and receiving money is always free.

Want to add a tip? Simply add it to the amount before you confirm.

Open the GoTyme Bank app and pay for your next appointment instantly via PayShap.
