Deposits
Collect appointment deposits, send payment links, take QR code payment or manual payment at the counter, and apply credit at POS or settlement.
Deposits live under Contacts → Deposits (you can also open deposit screens directly from a booking).
List filters
Filter by sent, paid, used, refunded, or cancelled. Download a CSV of the current filtered view for your records.
Creating a deposit
- Choose New deposit and pick a Client, Amount, and optional customer note. You can also start from a booking with Add deposit.
- Send payment request to email a Stripe Checkout link (confirm before sending), or Collect payment / Take payment at the counter.
- At the counter, payment options match POS: QR code payment, configured manual methods, and splits — depending on what is configured and enabled under Settings → Payments.
- Payment setup: Payments.
After payment
Paid deposits become credit on the client. Apply that credit when ringing a POS sale or Settle booking. Issue Refund from the deposit detail when needed. Cancel unpaid requests so they cannot be paid.
Use Forfeit on a paid deposit with remaining credit to record a cancellation fee: choose an amount (up to the remaining balance) and optional description (defaults to Cancellation fee). TatShop creates an in-store order paid with that deposit credit. Optionally email the client.
Use Payment tenders → Correct manuals if the wrong manual method was recorded.
Reports
Reports → Deposit activity covers collected, applied, refunded, and aging unused credit.
