XTAN review
A connected tanning POS with kiosk, app, queue and supported sunbed control.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
XTAN is a cloud and mobile platform for tanning salons, particularly small and mid-market operators managing reception sales, memberships and customer flow. It brings tanning-session POS, payments, customer profiles, passes, packages, minute balances, bookings and a live queue into one system. Customers can identify themselves, use eligible passes or purchases at a self-service kiosk, and manage bookings, balances, history and notifications through a branded app. Multi-location reporting and remote owner visibility extend the system to operators with more than one salon.
The vendor uses a contact-sales model: prospective customers are directed to book a demo for setup and pricing details. That approach gives salons a route to discuss their operating requirements, but it does not provide published software tiers for straightforward plan comparison. Payment processing connects with compatible Dojo terminals, making Dojo a clear fit for salons already using that ecosystem. XTAN runs across web, iOS and Android, with email and chat support channels, so owners and customers can access relevant workflows beyond a reception workstation.
Its most distinctive capability is the connection between commercial activity and supported sunbed operations. The proprietary controller can link sales, queue status, room preparation and bed status, while the kiosk and app shift identification, eligible purchases and booking tasks to customers. This combination should suit salons prioritizing self-service and operational visibility across locations. Buyers should confirm that their equipment is supported and that the controller installation matches their workflow. Salons seeking a broader integration ecosystem than Dojo, or operations that do not need kiosk and bed-control functions, may prefer a simpler tanning POS focused on core sales and memberships.
