Invoice Payments

Once your payments account is set up and verified, your invoices will automatically have a “PAY NOW” button.

Proposal Deposits

To request deposits after proposal approval, follow these steps:

Go into a proposal’s “settings.”
Select the deposit amount or percentage.

You can also set the deposit requirement separately for each canned proposal or for all your proposals by default from the settings > configuration section.

When a customer pays the deposit, it will be recorded on the project and will be deducted when you create the invoice for that project.

Additional Features

If you have an approval message and link setup on your proposals, it will be displayed AFTER the customer pays the deposit.
You can customize the message displayed above the “Pay Now” button regarding your scheduling process from settings > configuration.
To receive notifications when customers pay deposits, enable “New Payment” notifications from settings > notifications.

Testing Your Setup

We recommend testing your proposal deposit setup by creating a test project, sending yourself a proposal, and paying the deposit amount.
