Payments & payouts

To take card payments, connect a Stripe account from the Payments page. Stripe handles the card processing and pays out directly to your bank on its normal schedule. Your subscription to barber.rsvp is billed separately from the money your shop collects.

On the Payments page you choose which methods your shop accepts and which one is pre-selected for clients at booking:

• In person: the client pays at the chair. Always available.
• Online card: the client pays when they book, which requires a connected Stripe account.

A no-show deposit asks clients to pay a deposit by card when they book, so a missed appointment still has a cost. Set it on the Payments page as a flat amount or a percentage of the service.

When a deposit is on, online booking becomes card-only and collects the deposit up front. It's applied to the client's bill — you charge the remainder at the chair — and you keep the deposit if they don't show.

When you settle an appointment you can record a tip amount alongside the payment, so your reporting reflects what each barber actually earned.

Venmo Tip Jar

The Tip Jar automatically texts the client a Venmo link about halfway through their appointment, pre-filled with the barber's handle. Add a barber's Venmo username on their profile to turn it on for them.
