Square Appointments accept deposits

Really would love to see deposit option come to life on the appointment system! Choose how much the deposit is for each service. then this automatically come off the amount they pay when they visit.

Hi @SiBellebeauty, thanks for letting us know this feature would be useful for you. 

It's one that comes up a lot so hopefully, it's something we'll be able to facilitate in the future. 

I'm sure you have all of this setup but I'll share our current suggestion for taking a form of deposits with Square Appointments in case anyone has a similar question.

As Square Appointments doesn’t currently support pre-authorising payment cards or collecting security deposits, instead you can set a custom cancellation policy and require clients to add a payment card to complete their online booking. If your client violates your cancellation policy, you’re able to charge their card.

Once you’ve set up no-show protection for online bookings, you’re also able to save a client’s card on file to enable no-show protection for appointments booked from your online Square Appointments dashboard.

Thanks so much for your help! Yes I have seen that we can also add a payment card when we take appts over the phone so this is excellent thanks so much.
