Yocale.ai Inc. (CSE: YAI) (OTC: YOAIF) (Frankfurt: K4G), the AI-powered operating system for the beauty and wellness industry, announced on September 21, 2026, the launch of Yocale Pay, a payment solution embedded directly into its platform. The move integrates payment processing, booking deposits, cards on file, integrated card readers with contactless capabilities, secure payment links, reconciliation, and payout management into Yocale’s broader business workflows.
Yocale Pay is available both as part of the broader Yocale platform and, in Canada and the United States, as a standalone payment solution. Online payment capabilities are available across 40 countries, while in-person terminal capabilities are available in 21 countries. The global beauty and personal care product market is projected to generate approximately US$698 billion in revenue in 2026, according to Statista.
By embedding payment infrastructure into Yocale, businesses can process deposits, checkout, refunds, and payouts within the same platform used to manage appointments and client relationships. This eliminates the disconnected systems that have historically separated financial operations from day-to-day scheduling. Businesses using the integrated offering can require a deposit or a card on file at the point of booking, with policies set by service, new-client status, or a client’s no-show history. At checkout, staff can accept contactless payments through integrated card readers, charge a saved card, or send a secure payment link for remote payment. Every payment, partial payment, refund, and disputed charge remains connected to the invoice and client file. On the back end, businesses can track payouts, reconcile fees and refunds against each transaction, and generate commission and revenue reports directly from the platform.
“When payments connect directly to the invoice, the booking, and the client record, that’s where the real value shows up. Businesses see less admin, easier reconciliation, and a stronger data foundation for how we report on and automate the business over time,” said Aydin Asli, Chief Executive Officer of Yocale.ai. “This expands our role from managing business operations to supporting the financial activity flowing through the platform.”
Yocale Pay is designed for salons, barbershops, medspas, nail and lash studios, massage practices, and other beauty and wellness businesses. Key features include booking-time revenue protection with configurable deposits, omnichannel checkout, standalone payment capabilities including Tap to Pay applications for Android and iPhone, invoice-connected transactions, recurring payments, refund and dispute management, and reconciliation, reporting, and payouts. The introduction advances the financial technology strategy previously disclosed by Yocale.ai. As adoption and payment volume grow, Yocale Pay has the potential to add transaction-based revenue alongside SaaS subscription revenue, while deepening customer engagement and expanding transaction data available for reporting and automation. The company’s technology has supported thousands of service providers across more than 22 countries, and Yocale.ai is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.
