Deposits

Collect a deposit before you reserve crew time

Set the deposit requirement on each estimate, collect it through the client portal, and schedule the job once the work is approved and secured.

Where this workflow fits

  • The job requires materials, travel, subcontractors, or a meaningful block of crew time.
  • You want the client to approve scope and terms before the booking moves forward.
  • Different jobs need different deposit rules instead of one policy for every service.
