  • Default deposit is set in Settings → Payments
  • Client-level deposits are auto-applied to new bookings (you can unselect them)

Pro tips​

  • Use a client deposit on file for regulars - faster checkout, fewer headaches.
  • Booking deposits are perfect for one-offs or high-risk appointments.
  • Mark deposits Paid as soon as you take them - the balance only updates once payment is recorded.
