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.
