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. If one of your services needs a different deposit amount, you can change it for just that service. You can choose to charge no deposit, a percentage, a fixed amount or the full amount. It all depends on the service and what you think is right for your business and clients. In this article you will learn how to change your deposit policy for a singular service.
