Before you can take a client's deposit, you need to ensure you have enabled deposits in account settings. Please click here if you have not yet enabled deposits for POS.
To take a client's deposit, you will first create a new appointment as normal on the Appointments page (if you haven't created an appointment before, please click here).
In the Select Services window, you'll notice a Take Deposit button, like so:
- If you are not forcing deposits, then you will need to click the Take Deposit button on the appointment whenever you want to take a deposit
- If you are forcing deposits, the Take Deposit button will always be automatically selected, and cannot be unselected, like so:
Once you click Confirm & Pay, you will be taken over to POS to finalise payment:
The services added to this appointment will be listed, and the Deposit Percentage you setup earlier will automatically be applied.
If you want to change the deposit amount, simply click the Take Deposit button. Clicking Custom will allow you to set a different amount:
At this point, you can click Receive Payment:
- Choose a normal payment method such as Cash, EFTPOS etc and then Finish Sale
- OR you can use the Stripe Invoice option. The Stripe Invoicing option allows you to send a unique link to your client via email, in which they will be sent an invoice to pay for their deposit:
The Stripe Invoice option needs to be enabled in your Account section before it will appear as an option in POS.
