Yes they will. However, when creating your profile, you can create a custom profile link that will direct clients to download the app and immediately display your profile after they sign up. Clients can also filter through search results by name.

Only PRO barbers are visible in search. You must also have a valid address, hours and at least one service.

If you've confirmed all of the about, double check the address you provided to make sure it’s accurate. If you include any extra text in your address field, it may cause errors when being displayed. For example, "Across the street from Denny’s" or adding a phone number in your address.

At this time, we do not support multiple accounts or locations under one email address. You would need to create a separate account under a different email in order to list your hours and location for the other shop. To ensure you are not charged twice for PRO, we do offer a discount of 50% for each account. All you'd need to do is sign our agreement to get enrolled. Send us an email at support@thecut.co and we’ll get you taken care of.

Yes you can! In order to properly enforce and set up a Cancellation or No-Show Policy, you’ll have to have Payment Processing enabled first. Once Payment Processing is set up for your account, you can set up your Cancellation or No-Show Policy by going to Settings > Cancellations & No-Shows.

• Make sure you're entering your own legal name, home address, and email address into the personal information fields. It's important not to enter your business information here.

We recommend you do so while the client is still in the chair in case the transaction fails to process (insufficient funds, inactive card, etc.)

Yes we do! Learn more at https://www.thecut.co/payments

We preauthorize every appointment booked via Mobile Pay as a way of ensuring there is enough money on the card for the appointment that was booked.

Standard deposits are automatically made Monday-Friday to your connected bank account via ACH. Transactions processed over the weekend will be deposited on Monday. Bank holidays may delay deposit schedules. Deposit times may vary depending on your bank’s processing speeds.

Instant Deposits

Instant deposits must be initiated manually. You must have a supported debit card on file. You should see funds transferred via instant deposit in your account within a few minutes.

If the amount disbursed to you through Payment Processing is more than $20,000 and you have conducted more than 200 transactions, we will to send you a 1099-K form during tax season. However, you can reach out to us at support@thecut.co and we can prepare and income report detailing all of your transactions processed through the app.
