What you get
Protect long appointments and keep the day running on time.

Deposits for valuable slots
Protect selected appointments with a deposit or saved card under your booking policy.
Client details kept together
Keep visit history, preferences and notes ready for the next appointment.

- Card processingStripe's rate
- Card payments run through your own Stripe account, and Stripe charges its own published rate for the card used. Cobbtree adds nothing on top and never holds your takings.
- A genuinely new customer10% + VAT, once
- Charged once after a new customer's first completed, paid visit, whether they booked through a direct link, your website, the marketplace or walked in. Every booking after that is free.
- Gift cards sold on Cobbtree5%, once
- Charged once when a card is sold, on what the buyer paid for it. It never comes out of the balance, so whoever receives the card can still spend its full face value with you.
- Membership payments5%
- Charged on membership money as it is collected - the joining fee and each payment after it - and never on a perk a member uses. A membership bought as a gift is charged on the gift, not again on the visits.
Founders access is limited to the first 20 approved businesses and replaces the standard 60-day trial. No setup fee. No onboarding fee. No contracts. Ever.

Questions
Common questions
Nail salons
Can I set different times and prices for full sets and infills?
Yes. Each service has its own duration, price, eligible technician and deposit settings.
Is Cobbtree suitable for a solo nail technician?
Yes. Start with one bookable person and use the same diary, client, payment and reporting tools included for larger teams.
Getting started
How long does it take to set up?
Add your locations, services and team, and most salons are ready to take bookings the same day. Early Founders Access gives the first 20 approved businesses 4 months of Cobbtree free. That replaces the standard 60-day trial - you do not get both.
Can I move from Fresha?
Yes - upload your Fresha export and Cobbtree imports your clients, services, team and appointment history automatically, flagging anything it needs you to check before it goes live.
Payments & fees
How much does Cobbtree charge on card payments?
Card payments run through your own Stripe account, and Stripe charges its published rate for the card used. Cobbtree adds nothing on top and never holds your takings.
Can I take a deposit or charge for a late cancellation?
Yes - set a deposit on any service, and set a cancellation notice window with a fee. If a client cancels inside the window, Cobbtree charges the card they saved when they agreed to your policy.
Can I take cards without a card machine?
Yes. Tap to Pay in the Cobbtree Business app takes a contactless card or wallet on a compatible iPhone or Android, in the salon or on the go. At the desk, Cobbtree Pay Terminal takes tap, chip and PIN. Both go on the same till ticket and pay out through Cobbtree Pay.
