Booking deposits

A booking deposit is tied to a single appointment. Use it for one-off grooms or when you don’t want to consume a client’s on-file deposit.

Set a booking deposit​

  1. Open Create Booking (or Edit Booking).
  2. In Price Breakdown, enter a Deposit Amount as a fixed value (e.g. 10) or a percentage (e.g. 25).
  3. Choose Status:
    • Pending – you’ve asked for it but haven’t received the money.
    • Paid – you’ve taken the money (cash/bank).
  4. Pick the Payment Method (Cash or Bank Transfer).

The deposit shows in the breakdown. It only reduces the remaining balance once the deposit is marked Paid.

note

Card deposits via Stripe are not available yet. Coming soon.

Using a client deposit instead​

  • If the client has a deposit on file, Barkway selects it by default.
  • Uncheck it to ignore the on-file deposit and use a booking-level deposit instead.

Edit later​

  • You can change the amount, status, or method on Edit Booking before completion.
  • After completion the invoice is created - if you need to alter totals, regenerate the invoice.
