Collect deposits
A deposit secures a booking. Whatever the client pays up front comes off the total when you check them out.
Set a deposit on a service
Open the service in Catalog > Services and turn on Require payment at the time of booking. Choose Full payment, or Partial deposit as a fixed amount or a percentage. See Set pricing and durations.
Deposits on online bookings
When a client books a service with a deposit, the Payment step shows what's Due today and the Remaining amount. They pay with Stripe or Square, and can use a gift card for some or all of it.
Deposits from the calendar
Deposits aren't taken automatically when you book from the calendar. To take one:
- 1
Book the appointment as usual. The Deposit summary shows the Required deposit and Additional deposit due.
- 2
Click Save & collect deposit.
- 3
Choose the Stripe, Square or Gift card tab, pick a saved card or click Add new card, then click Charge deposit.
Group appointments have Book & collect deposit instead. The primary contact pays every member's deposit at once.
At checkout
The checkout shows Deposit collected and only charges the Remaining Amount.
