Getting started
Complete Your Mobile Pay Application
Provide your personal or business information to begin the verification process.
Verify Your Identity
Upload a government-issued ID that matches your legal name and date of birth. Additional documentation may be requested if needed.
Enable Mobile Pay
Once your account has been approved, enable Mobile Pay within your booking settings.
Clients Book With Mobile Pay
Clients add a payment method when booking. A temporary authorization hold is placed on their card to verify available funds. This is not a charge.
Complete Checkout
After the appointment, select Check Out to process payment. Mobile Pay appointments are not processed automatically, so checkout must be completed before payment processing begins.

Tax information: theCut is not a tax advisor. Payment processors report earnings to the IRS once you cross federal or state thresholds. Keep your records and talk to a tax professional about your specific situation.
