Online deposits are a way to get real time commitment from your clients when they make a booking, giving you confidence in their legitimacy. Should anything fall through, this also ensures you are able to pay your staff for the clients absence. You can set policies regarding deposits, such as caveats when individuals are unable to attend their appointments for genuine reasons. 

In this article you will learn how to view, edit, and redeem deposits during checkout. For more information on changing a deposit into a customer credit, you can see our help guide How to change a deposit into a client credit.

 

 

Important note: the deposits feature is available if you use Timely as your payment provider (TimelyPay). If not, please see our pricing and plans page to confirm if this feature is available within your subscription. Should you wish to upgrade, you can do so via this link. Otherwise, please contact one of our friendly Support team for further information.
