Not every booking follows your default deposit rules. Sometimes you may have a client paying day-of, or an agreed-on deposit that’s smaller (or larger) than usual. The deposit override tool lets you adjust on a case-by-case basis so your client isn’t sent incorrect reminders and your payment schedule reflects the actual agreement.

Avoiding unnecessary or incorrect deposit reminders.
The override applies only to the selected booking and does not change your global deposit settings.
