How to Take a Deposit for Photography
Setting up a deposit-required booking so a slot only confirms once payment clears, with an automatic hold and release.
- Set a deposit amount on the service you want to require payment for.
- A client starting to book holds the slot for fifteen minutes while they pay.
- Once paid, the booking confirms and writes to your calendar automatically.
- If payment isn't completed in time, the hold releases and the slot opens back up.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to an unpaid hold?
It releases automatically after fifteen minutes, so an abandoned booking doesn't block the slot indefinitely.
