Deposits and Invoices

Once your Stripe account is connected, you can collect money two ways. They serve different moments in a job, and you can use one or both.

Deposits — collect up front

A deposit is a partial payment taken when a customer books. It's useful for securing a slot, covering materials, or reducing no-shows. Turn deposits on in Settings → Payments.

Invoices — bill for completed work

An invoice is a bill you send for work that's done. You can track what's been paid and what's outstanding. Turn invoicing on in Settings → Payments, then manage invoices from the Billing tab.

Consolidated invoicing

If you bill some customers for several visits at once, consolidated invoicing lets you combine multiple completed jobs into a single invoice. Manage it from the Billing tab once invoicing is enabled — handy for recurring or contract customers.

Which do I use?

• New booking that needs commitment? Take a deposit.
• Finished a job? Send an invoice.
• Customer with multiple visits this month? Use consolidated invoicing to bill them once.

Common questions

• Can I use both on the same customer? Yes — a deposit at booking and an invoice for the balance when the work is complete.
• Do these require a specific plan? Deposits and invoicing are available on Essentials and Pro. See Plans and pricing overview.
