If you’ve ever paid for a dinner, a gift or tickets through Bizum, you know perfectly well how convenient it is. However, until now Bizum was mainly designed for payments between individuals.
That changes in 2026.
The arrival of Bizum in physical commerce is a real revolution for sectors such as hairdressing, aesthetics, barbering and wellness, where more and more customers demand fast and digital payment methods.
But what really changes? Will you be able to get paid as before? Will it be free for businesses? How does it affect Verifactu and the management of your salon?
We explain it to you.
Bizum for business: the big news of 2026
Until now, when a customer wanted to pay for Bizum at a beauty salon or hairdresser, they usually had to:
- Ask for the business’s phone number.
- Send money manually.
- Show proof of payment.
It was an impractical system for the day-to-day running of a business.
From 2026, Bizum goes a step further and is directly integrated into physical commerce.
This means that customers will be able to pay:
📱 By scanning a QR code.
📞 By entering a phone number.
💳 Using a physical or virtual card linked to Bizum.
📲 Bringing the mobile phone closer to the card reader as they currently do with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a bank card.
For the customer, the experience will be practically identical to the current one.
The difference will be in what happens behind the payment.
What changes for hairdressers and beauty centers?
The great novelty is that the customer will be able to choose how they want to pay.
You can still bring your mobile phone close to the card reader, but instead of using Visa or Mastercard, the payment can be processed through Bizum.
The new payment terminals will be ready to accept this system natively.
In addition, banks will begin to issue physical and virtual cards associated with Bizum, allowing payments to be made without the need to go through large traditional international networks.
Will it be free to charge for Bizum?
No.
One of the most common mistakes is to think that Bizum will also be free for businesses.
Bizum will continue to be free for individuals, but businesses will pay a commission per transaction, as is currently the case with POS terminals.
The good news is that those fees could be lower.
Why can Bizum be cheaper than a traditional card?
The reason is simple.
Currently, a large part of electronic payments go through platforms such as:
- Visa
- Mastercard
These companies are international private entities that participate in each transaction.
Bizum, however, belongs to the Spanish banks themselves.
By reducing intermediaries, processing costs can be lower.
For this reason, many financial institutions will try to encourage the use of Bizum compared to traditional card networks.
For businesses this could translate into:
✅ Lower costs per operation.
✅ More profit margin.
✅ Greater profitability in daily collections.
Customers are now ready to pay with Bizum
The adoption of Bizum in Spain has been spectacular.
Millions of users use it every day to:
- Send money.
- Buy online.
- Split expenses.
- Make instant payments.
That is why more and more customers are asking in hairdressers and beauty centers:
“Can I pay you for Bizum?”
The answer, very soon, will be much simpler.
The real challenge: correctly controlling collections
Although getting paid with Bizum is easy, internal business management is still essential.
Many centers still manage these payments manually:
❌ Notes on paper.
❌ Receipts sent by WhatsApp.
❌ Collections that are difficult to locate.
❌ Problems balancing the box.
And this is precisely where digitalization becomes essential.
