Method 1: Sending a Deposit Request When Creating an Appointment

Create an Appointment

  • Navigate to the Calendar and create a new appointment.

  • Ensure the services, start & end times, and assigned groomer are correct.

Set Up the Deposit Request

  • Scroll down to the Payment Box within the appointment form.

  • The deposit request percentage can be configured by default in Settings > Configurations (top-right ⚙ Cog icon).

  • Ensure the deposit request is set (e.g., 50% deposit).

  • Toggle the option to send the request via SMS and/or Email.

Send the Deposit Request

  • Click Create to finalize the appointment.

  • The deposit request is automatically created and sent.

  • You can verify it by checking the Payment Tab > Deposits Tab, where you’ll see:

    • Total Amount

    • Total Paid

    • Amount Due

    • Status (Requested, Paid, or Unpaid)


Method 2: Sending a Deposit Request After an Appointment Is Created

Create an Appointment Without a Deposit Request

  • Set the payment type to Pay in Person.

  • Click Create to finalize the appointment.

Manually Add a Deposit Request

  • Open the appointment and navigate to Payment > Deposits.

  • Click Add New Request and enter:

    • Deposit amount (e.g., £20).

    • Date to Send (defaults to today, but can be changed).

    • Due Date (optional modification).

  • Click Save.

Send the Deposit Request

  • Click the Send (Airplane Icon) to dispatch the request.

  • A confirmation email and SMS will be sent to the customer.


Tracking and Managing Deposit Requests

Check Deposit Status

  • Go to Left Menu > Payment Requests.

  • View the sent dates and check if payments are marked as:

    • Paid (Green Button with Date Paid)

    • Unpaid

Cancel a Deposit Request

  • If you no longer want the customer to pay through the link, click Delete.

  • The deposit request will be voided, and the customer will no longer have access to the payment link.
