Take a Deposit Now, Collect the Balance Later
Quote a private event the way you sell it: half at booking, the rest before the date, on one invoice that collects the balance itself. This update is designed for clubs and players who want a better the platform experience — less manual work, more control, and a smoother workflow.
What's Included
Set a deposit as a percentage or a flat dollar amount; the invoice splits the all-in total so tax and any processing fee are shared proportionally instead of landing on one payment
Pick the day the balance is collected, then choose how: email the customer an invoice with a pay link, or charge the card they used for the deposit
A card charge only fires when the customer agreed to it in writing at checkout and a usable card is on file for that exact amount and date; anything else falls back to a pay link and tells your team a balance needs a human
The customer gets a reminder email three days before any scheduled card charge, so nobody is surprised by a charge they agreed to weeks earlier
Discounts are a real field now, a percentage or a dollar amount with your own label, itemized on the invoice, pay page, PDF and every email, replacing the negative line item that never worked
Every surface states the same four things: the full total, what is due today, what remains, and when and how the rest is collected. An invoice with no deposit behaves exactly as it always has
Take a Deposit Now, Collect the Balance Later brings 6 improvements to the platform — streamlining what used to be a manual process into something that just works.
