You’ve been approved — now let’s get you set up!

  1. Head to your Settings > Bookings > Payment Method

  2. Toggle Mobile Pay ON

Once enabled, your clients will see Mobile Pay options when booking with you.

📆 Booking with Mobile Pay

When a client books:

  • They’ll add a payment method at checkout

  • A preauthorization (aka a temporary hold) will be placed for the full cost of the service

  • This may show up as “AUTH” or “PENDING” on their statement

  • If the appointment is canceled by the barber, the hold is automatically voided

🧾 How to Check Out Appointments

💡 Mobile Pay appointments don’t charge automatically.

After you complete the service:

  1. Open the appointment

  2. Tap Check Out to process the payment

Still accepting cash or another payment? Use the Other option at checkout to mark the service as paid.

💰 Funds & Deposit Options

Once you’ve checked out an appointment, the funds begin processing and will appear in your Payment Hub shortly.

You have two ways to get paid:

  • Standard Deposit (Free)

    ⏱️ Takes 1–2 business days

    Deposits are grouped and released based on time of day and weekday/weekend scheduling

  • Instant Deposit (1.5% Fee)

    ⏱️ Usually within 30–60 minutes

    Funds sent directly to your eligible debit card

⚠️ Charging for No-Shows or Late Cancels

Want to enforce a Cancellation or No-Show Policy? You must:

  • Be approved for Mobile Pay ✅

  • Require Mobile Pay as the only payment option

That’s because without a stored card on file, there’s no way to enforce the charge.

🧠 Pro Tip

Use Mobile Pay to streamline your business — from checkout to cancellation policies — while also giving clients more convenience and confidence at booking.
