How do I add a deposit to a client's appointment?

This article shows how to apply a deposit to a client's treatment. When the client is ready to pay, the system automatically deducts the deposit. The client then only needs to pay the remaining balance.

In the appointment calendar, note that the appointment has turned gold color. Also, a dollar symbol is displayed to indicate that a deposit has been paid. To view details about the deposit amount that was paid, open the appointment and see the Insights section.

The deposit is automatically added to the payment method called Account. The remaining balance to be paid is displayed under the Total.

Choose a payment method and click Complete Payment to finalize the transaction.

Adding a Deposit to a Client's Account for Future Use

You can also add a deposit or credit directly to a client's account to be used at any time instead of attaching it directly to an appointment.
