Getting started

Choose your business type

Pick the business type that matches your shop during setup — cafe, salon, gym, and more — from the Type step.

Updated 9 September 2026العربية

During the Setup Flow, Waya asks what kind of business you run — it helps you and your team recognize the shop in the dashboard.

Available business types

  • Cafe
  • Restaurant
  • Barber
  • Salon
  • Gym
  • Spa
  • Retail
  • Pharmacy
  • Car wash
  • Mechanic
  • Other

Picking a card type that fits

Common pairings

Barber, salon (uniform pricing)Stamp card — for example, a free haircut every sixth visit
Gym, spa, retail (variable pricing)Points or balance card once on a paid plan
Pharmacy, car wash, mechanic, otherEither — pick based on whether pricing is uniform or variable

It's not a permanent label

The business type you choose during setup is mainly there to help you and your team recognize your shop and to point you toward a card type that fits how you price things. If none of the eleven options match exactly, choose Other — nothing in the rest of the dashboard changes based on this choice, and it does not restrict which card type you can eventually use once you are on a paid plan.
