Deposits For services.

[Tnero]

I am wanting to take deposits for my services and do not wish to go through the hassle of sending invoices for part of the service. I know you are able to set the price of an item to the amount you want the deposit to be for and have a display price listed for the actual price of service, however, this option has drawbacks. It doesn't show you the remaining balance of the service and if a client needs to add or subtract a service you can no longer edit the cart. 

Will square introduce an option for us to charge a deposit based on either a set dollar amount or percentage of the total?

So if I'm understanding this correctly, if we collect a deposit in this manner on 6/1 for an appointment on 6/15, on our appointments calendar it would show the 6/15 appointment as paid and service complete.  Ok, so if the client asks to reschedule on 6/2, if the 6/15 appointment is already paid, we are no longer able to change that appointment.  So they might need an appointment on 6/16 (which is fine by us), but the paid appointment would be stuck in our system on 6/15 and no-one else would be able to book that time timeslot online.  Plus we couldn't change the date of the 6/15 paid appointment so when our staff is looking at the 6/16 date they're not going to know a deposit was made.  This doesn't seem like a good workaround at all....
