Hi @Jayme_Welch & @Mylashdealerr
BookThatApp supports taking both a partial deposit for a service or a refundable security bond for a rental item for merchants on our Premium Plan or higher. For either the deposit or the security bond, you can set the value as a percentage of the service price or as a set amount. For deposits, the app then automatically generates an order for the balance of payment when the service is performed . For security bonds, the bond amount can be partially or fully refunded when the item is returned, based on the time it was returned and the condition of the rental item.
BookThatApp also provides a BookNow button which is quite popular with our appointment customers as many merchants booking services don’t want customers to have to check out when making a no charge appointment.
The advantage of an embedded booking app such as BookThatApp is that it keeps the customer within your Shopify store at all time. This means that the customer isn’t sent to a third party platform to complete the booking, the order information is retained in your Shopify store and there is no separate accounting for booking transactions. It also allows you to take an order for a physical product and an appointment in the same transaction.
Feel free to drop us a line at support@zetya.com if you would like us to enable deposits or security bonds for your store or if you have any further questions.
Cheers,
Chris
