2. Percentage Deposit Rate
3. Both Fixed and Percentage Based
4. Deposits Per Product or Category

To enable deposits in your store follow the step-by-step tutorial below.

Adding Deposit Rate

You can take flat-priced, percentage-based, or a combination of both deposits with this feature. You can even restrict the deposit feature to only some of the products. To start taking deposits use this guide below!

3. Add Deposits

Fixed Deposit Rate: In the ‘Fixed Deposit Rate’ setting enter the deposit flat priced. For example: if you want to take a $50 deposit on every order. Enter 50.

Percentage Deposit Rate: In the ‘Percentage Deposit Rate’ setting enter the percentage of booking price you want to take a deposit as. For example: To take a 10% deposit on the booking of 500. Enter value ’10’ in percentage deposit rate field

Use Both Fixed and Percentage: In this field, you enter a booking amount up to which a Fixed-price deposit will be applied, and over this value, a percentage-based deposit setting will be enabled. For example, if you have added ‘Fixed Priced Deposit’ of $50 and a Percentage based deposit of 10%. And added a value of ‘5000’ in this field.

Upto 5000, a deposit of 50 is taken and over 5000 a deposit of 10% is applied.
