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

ADD A DEPOSIT

  • Open the job details page

  • Scroll down to 'Deposit' in blue, located directly under Subtotal, Total, and Discount

  • Click 'Add deposit OR +'

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

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

  • After adding your deposit, click the 'Invoice' button

  • Select your 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 deposit invoice D-100.
