How do deposits and invoices work in PaceCount?

Once your Stripe account is connected, you can collect money two ways: deposits when a customer books, and invoices when work is done. Funds go to your Stripe account — PaceCount does not hold or route your money. Deposits and invoicing are available on Essentials and Pro.

What is a deposit?

A deposit is a partial payment taken when a customer books. Use it to secure a slot, cover materials, or reduce no-shows. Turn deposits on in Settings → Payments.

What is an invoice?

An invoice is a bill you send for work that is done. Track what is paid and outstanding from the Billing tab after enabling invoicing in Settings → Payments.

What is consolidated invoicing?

Consolidated invoicing combines multiple completed jobs into a single invoice — useful for recurring or contract customers. Manage it from the Billing tab once invoicing is enabled.

Which should 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.

Common questions

Can I use both on the same customer?

Yes — a deposit at booking and an invoice for the balance when work is complete. Any deposit already paid is credited against the balance automatically.

Do deposits require a specific plan?

Deposits and invoicing are available on Essentials and Pro. See Plans and pricing overview.

Does PaceCount hold my money?

No. Charges flow through your connected Stripe account. See Payment and payout questions.
