Deposit workflow

Collect deposits before scheduling service jobs.

Interdatum helps service businesses collect deposits before calendar time is blocked, keeping estimates, approvals, deposits, scheduling, invoices, and payments connected.

Operational pain

What breaks before Interdatum

  • Jobs get scheduled before the client has committed financially.
  • Deposit links, estimate PDFs, and job notes live in separate tools.
  • Operators have to manually check whether a deposit was paid before assigning work.
  • Clients ask where to approve, download, or pay because the workflow is scattered.

Connected workflow

How the flow works

  1. Capture the request and service variables from a website intake form.
  2. Generate and send the estimate from the CRM.
  3. Let the client review the estimate through the client portal.
  4. Collect the deposit through Stripe Connect before scheduling.
  5. Schedule the job once the booking is financially secured.
  6. Keep the invoice and final payment tied to the original job record.

Best for
