Answers to a few good questions

How do I apply to CuddlesPay?

⏱️ Apply in just 5–10 minutes! From your account, tap CuddlesPay → Apply.

🚀 Most approvals are instant—never more than a week. Once approved, start accepting payments and watch payouts hit your bank. Easy.

What equipment do I need?

🌐 Zero extra gear—no POS needed. Our Card‑on‑File and Pay‑by‑Link features let clients pay digitally, making checkout a breeze.

How much does a POS terminal cost?

Our Android card reader with built‑in printer is $399—or free when you’re on our Elite plan! Once your CuddlesPay is approved, just go to CuddlesPay → Terminals → Order Terminal to place your order.

How long do payouts take?

⚡ Payouts typically land in your bank in 1–2 business days, depending on your bank. Weekends and holidays can add a little extra time—but we always aim to keep your funds flowing fast.

What Credit Cards are accepted?

💳We welcome all major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and Gift Cards.

CareCredit? 🤔 Not yet—but we’ll share updates soon!

Can I still use Cuddles without enabling payments?

👍 You bet! You can run Cuddles without turning on CuddlesPay. When you’re ready, head to Main Menu → Payments to unlock the power of an all‑in‑one workflow:

  • One hub: bookings, invoices, and payouts under one roof.
  • Faster checkout: one‑tap pay keeps clients happy (and tips flowing).
  • Instant reconciliation: sales and payments match up automatically — less bookkeeping for you.

Do you integrate to other payment processors?

🔒 Cuddles doesn’t plug into outside processors—we roll with our own CuddlesPay processing and POS devices instead. It keeps every swipe, tap, and tip in one smooth flow.
