Deposits

Lock in the spot before you clear the day.

For a full correction or a ceramic coating, you're giving up an entire day. A deposit at booking means the customer is as committed as you are.

Included on Solo and Shop. Try it free for 14 days.

Big jobs deserve a real commitment.

You turn down other work to hold the day. You prep the products. Then the customer cancels the night before, or just doesn't answer. A deposit doesn't have to be big. It just has to be enough that people show up or give you notice.

You stay in control

01

Optional, service by service

Take a deposit on a coating and skip it on a wash. You decide which services need one.

02

Your amount

Use a fixed amount or a percentage of the job. Change it whenever you like.

03

Paid straight to you

Deposits go through your own Stripe account and into your bank. Detailvio never takes a cut.

04

The balance, later

After the job, the customer pays what's left by link on their status page, or you take e-Transfer or cash and mark it paid.

Worried it'll scare customers off?

Call it what it is: reserving their spot.

Customers already pay deposits for haircuts, restaurants and appointments of every kind. For a $1,000 coating, a deposit tells them you run a real business. And if you'd rather not, leave deposits off and use reminders instead.

Reminders →

Deposits and online payments are included on Solo ($39/month) and Shop ($99/month). Every new account gets 14 days of Solo to try them. Stripe's standard card fees apply.
