How to Add a Deposit to a Job

Create a deposit based on a specific dollar amount or a percentage of the job total directly on the job details page! 

To add a deposit to a job:

  • In the Line items section of the Job page, click the Add Deposit button in blue, located directly under Subtotal, Total, and Discount

  • Select if the deposit type is a specific dollar amount ($) OR a percentage (%)

  • In the space provided, type the dollar or percentage amount of the deposit

  • Set the deposit due date by typing in the given field or selecting from the drop-down calendar and clicking Save.


Sending a Deposit

Sending a deposit is an identical process to sending an invoice.

  • After adding your deposit, click the Invoice (paper airplane) icon.

  • Select your deposit invoice and payment settings, and click Next.

  • Select if you'd like to send the deposit via text or email

  • Click Send

  • Your customer will receive an email notifying them of the due deposit and a pay online link (if you have included that option).

  • When your customer clicks on Pay Online, they will be taken to the page below.


Things to know:

  • To delete a deposit, enter a zero (0) in the dollar amount or percentage field and save.

  • If a Job has a deposit applied, it will NOT automatically update if any line items or materials are added afterwards. You must delete the deposit, then re-enter.

  • If using segments for multi-day jobs, add the deposit to just 1 segment. Do not attach any other segments when sending off for deposits.

  • Each deposit will have its own invoice and invoice number. If you have the job<>invoice number sync setting, the deposit will share the same number as the job. Ex. Job 100 will have a deposit invoice D-100.

  • If a deposit has been partially or fully paid, the payment must first be refunded before the deposit itself can be deleted.
