Introducing The Workever Deposits Feature:
Our new Deposits feature allows users to accept partial payments (deposits) for jobs or customer orders upfront, even before the job is completed or invoiced. Subsequently, proof of payment can be promptly dispatched to customers via email.
Adding Deposits to Contact profiles
Some customers may opt to make deposits for future jobs. These deposits can be seamlessly integrated into any of the customer's upcoming jobs. To initiate this process:
โ
1. Navigate to the Contacts section and select the desired customer profile.
2. Access the Billing section from the left-hand menu.
3. then click the Add Deposit button
A Deposit pop-up will then open allowing you to add a deposit, linked only to the customer's profile for later use.
You can add:
Amount
Deposit Type (Cash, Card, etc.)
Deposit Date
The account the deposit is Paid To
Notes
Upon entering the necessary details, click "Process Deposit" to append the deposit to the customer's profile. Subsequently, the deposit will be visible alongside other transactions in the Billing section under Deposits.
After adding the Deposit, it will show up with other deposits created for this customer under the Billing section -> Deposits.
You can view each deposit individually and decide to Delete it or send the Receipt via email to the customer.
If the deposit is linked to a job you can then view it through the deposit list and Unlink the deposit.
