🎯 What’s Important:

We offer flexible payment options so clients and barbers can handle transactions smoothly and securely. From Mobile Pay to Cash App — you’ve got choices! 🙌

💸 Payment Options for Clients

Depending on the barber, here’s what you might see available:

  • Mobile Pay (in-app card payment)

  • Tap to Pay (just tap your card/phone at the chair)

  • Cash App, Apple Pay, Google Pay

  • Cash (Reach out to your barber to confirm!)

Pro Tip: Even if a Mobile Pay appointment is required to book, your barber may still accept cash or other methods at the appointment. Just message them in the app to ask!

🔐 Preauthorization for Mobile Pay

If you’re booking with a card through Mobile Pay, we’ll place a preauthorization hold — not a full charge.

Here’s how it works:

  • A preauthorization is a temporary hold on your account for the full appointment amount.

  • These funds are not withdrawn immediately — just reserved.

  • After the appointment is completed, the final charge is processed.

  • Any remaining amount is released right back to your account!

💡 Think of it like reserving a table — the money stays in your account until the service is complete.

⚙️ Managing Your Payment Method

Add or update your card anytime:

  • Go to Settings > Payment Method in your client profile.

  • To remove a saved card, just swipe left or right on the entry!
