This article will talk you through how to set up the different deposit for your online bookings through Aesthetic Nurse Software.
You may want to consider taking different deposits for your online bookings to prevent no shows and reduce the risks for your higher priced treatments. You may set your consultation deposit as £30 but your treatment deposit as £50. Alternatively, you may have different deposits depending on the treatment demand and time taken for the treatment on the day.
To set up different deposit amounts for your treatments, watch our short video below. Alternatively, follow our simple steps.
Connecting Your Stripe Account
Before you take any payments through ANS you will need to first set up a Stripe account. Stripe are the provider we take all our payments through.
Step 1 :
From the main menu, head to the settings area.
Step 2 :
Once in settings, head to take payments under the heading online booking.
Step 3 :
Then to create your Stripe account, click the connect to Stripe option. You will then be guided to Stripe where you will just need to fill in some business details to create the account.
Step 4 :
Once connected successfully you will see a statment at the top to confirm the connection between ANS and Stripe.
Once successfully set up, you will be able to start taking payments through all various methods.
Setting Up Main Deposit Amount
Once your Stripe account has been activated you will then be able to set up your main deposit amount. This is a deposit amount which is across the board for all your treatments.
Your specific treatment deposits will override the main deposit when set up.
Step 5 :
Back in settings, head to deposit under the heading online booking.
Step 6 :
Then in the deposit section you will need to select to accept deposits.
You will need to have this box ticked to take any deposit payments through ANS.
Step 7 :
After, you will be able to state the amount of deposit you would like to take or the percentage size as your main deposit and if you would like to have this amount per treatment or per appointment.
Step 8 :
Once happy with your deposit amount, hit save details.
Different Deposit Amount Set Up
To set up your different depsosit amounts you will just need to do this for each treatment specifically. If you want a treatment deposit at a standard amount, you would just leave this step.
Step 9 :
The first thing you will need to do to set up the different deposit amounts is head to settings and into treatments under the heading products.
Step 10 :
In here you will find all of the treatments you currently have saved in your software, you will then need to go in and select the edit option by going into the brand and selecting the pencil icon.
If the treatment you are looking for is not within the list you will just need to add this to your software, visit our specific guide on how to add a new treatment to ANS to learn more.
Step 11 :
Then, you will find our custom deposit amount option, in here you need to make sure this is ticked for this treatment and you select if this is a fixed deposit amount or a percentage.
If you do not want a custom deposit for this treatment, you will just need to make sure this box is untick. This will then pull the main deposit amount for this treatment.
Step 12 :
Finally, to make sure the deposit is requested for the online bookings you just need to make sure the deposit required is ticked.
If this box is left unticked then a deposit will not be requested for this treatment when booked.
Step 13 :
When saved, this will pull through the new online booking deposit amount. You will just need to repeat this for any treatment you would like a custom deposit for.
