Deposits on file (client)

A deposit on file is money saved against a client, not a single booking. Barkway will automatically apply it to new bookings for that client - you can unselect it if you don’t want to use it this time.

How it works​

  • Set or update the amount from Clients → Edit Client.
  • There’s one value per client - when used, it applies in full.
  • On the booking form, Barkway selects the client’s deposit by default. Uncheck it if you want to keep it for later.
  • The deposit appears in the price breakdown and reduces the remaining balance once marked Paid.
note

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

Managing a client deposit​

  1. Open Clients → Edit Client.
  2. Enable Save a deposit on this client’s account and enter the amount (fixed or %).
  3. Click Update Client.
  4. To refund/clear later, return to the same screen or use the booking’s invoice panel.

When it’s used​

  • On creating/editing a booking for that client, Barkway auto-applies the deposit.
  • You can unselect it if you prefer to take/keep a booking-specific deposit instead.

Refunds​

  • Refunds are manual today. Do it from Edit Client or from the View Booking invoice panel.
  • If you refunded outside Barkway, just adjust the client deposit amount to match reality.
