FAQ for Shop Owners - Barber Shop

Yes. You can add as many locations as you need under a single business account. Each location gets its own profile page, services, hours, and staff — all manageable from one dashboard.

Your shop gets a branded profile page on barber.shop with your business info, services, photos, and reviews. Each location and each barber gets their own page too. All pages are optimized for search engines — so when someone searches 'barber shop near me,' your shop has a real chance of showing up.

Every change in your business — appointment edits, schedule modifications, client updates — is logged with who made the change and when. This prevents disputes and keeps your team accountable.

The console application is a web application designed for your front desk. It shows today's appointments, allows you to check clients in and out, take payments, and manage the schedule in real time. It's a powerful tool for running your shop smoothly — and it's included for free with every account.

The console application integrates to connect with your CardPointe card terminal. When a client checks in, you can click 'Take Payment' to charge their card on file or process a new payment through the terminal. It's designed to be fast and seamless for your front desk operations.

Your location gets an SEO-optimized web presence on barber.shop — a public profile page with your services, hours, photos, reviews, and a booking button. Each of your locations gets its own page, and each barber gets their own profile. These pages are designed to rank in search engines, so new customers can find your shop organically.

Sign up at barber.shop, create your business, add your locations and services, invite your barbers to link their profiles, and you're live. The whole setup takes about 15 minutes.

barber.shop integrates with CardPointe for in-shop card terminals (tap, insert, swipe, PIN debit) and online card-on-file payments. You get your own merchant account for each location you have — not a sub-merchant account controlled by us.

Yes. barber.shop supports ecommerce through your shop profile — memberships with recurring billing, deposit collection at booking, and card-on-file for regular clients. All payments process through your own merchant account.

There are two options. You can set up a 'free' account, but you get a random number instead of a handle - so, instead of getting 'barber.shop/mygreatshop' your shop location will get 'barber.shop/123242321'. You can still set up a merchant account and use it, but handles come at a premium. This is for two reasons - it prevents abuse, and it assures an intent for serious use. We highly encourage business owners to try and secure their existing Instagram handle for consistency.

Unlimited. There's no per-barber or per-provider fee. Every barber who links to your shop gets their own SEO-optimized profile page, booking link, and client management tools.

No. There's no contract, no lock-in, and no cancellation fees. Use barber.shop for as long as it works for you.

Barbers 'link' their profile to your shop location. When they do, they appear on your shop's page and can accept bookings through your shop — but they also keep their own profile information and reviews. It's a partnership, not ownership. If a barber moves on, their profile goes with them.
