How to Auto-Collect a Deposit on Quote Acceptance

Taking a pre-payment when customers accept your quote is a great practice to protect your business, make jobs run smoother, and maintain cashflow to cover overheads, pay wages & buy materials.

With ServiceM8 Pay, taking Deposits is easier than ever, with the ability to collect a pre-payment when clients accept your quote, on site or online.

Online Deposits

When a client accepts your quote online, they’ll be prompted to pay the deposit, then & there.

On Site Deposits

If the client accepts on site, you can take the pre-payment on the spot, with nothing but your iPhone.

Default Percentage

Simply set a percentage amount of each job’s value as your default deposit required upon quote acceptance.

Client Rules

To waive deposits for some clients, or require a higher amount for others, you can set a custom rule in their Client Card.

Per Job Deposits

The % deposit required can be adjusted from your default, on a job-by-job basis in the Online Dashboard.

Per Proposal Deposits

When sending a Proposal, the % deposit required can be adjusted from your default, on a job-by-job basis.

Fixed Amounts

When sending a Proposal online, you can set a fixed deposit amount rather than a percentage.
