Quote Deposits

Introduction

Joblogic allows you to set up and take deposits from your customers. This can be done through a Stripe integration or manually on the quote/job.

This guide will help you with setting up your integration (Stripe only) and walk you through a couple of ways to take a deposit.

Setting up your Stripe Integration

To set up your Stripe account with joblogic, firstly navigate to Settings > Credit Card Payments

Next, click 'Connect with Stripe’ and then accept the terms if you want to continue.

You’ll then be transferred to a new page. Here, you can enter your Stripe email address if you already have an account.
Alternatively, enter your email and create a Stripe account as required.

You are now connected and ready to take payments via Stripe.
You can disconnect at any time by coming back to Settings > Credit Card Payments and clicking ‘Disconnect Stripe’

Stripe Deposits

Let’s now look at how you can send quotes with the required deposit to the customers and how customers can proceed with their payments online.

Firstly, add your quote as normal (click here to learn more about adding quotes on joblogic) and then click into the Prices tab. Scroll towards the bottom to add your deposit.

Once you click on the orange pen icon, you will see a small window pop up on your screen.

Here, you can choose ‘No Deposit Required’, ‘Part Deposit’ or ‘Full Deposit’.

If you choose ‘Part Deposit’, you’ll be able to enter an Amount or Percentage

Once you have defined the amount for the deposit, hit Save. This will automatically update the deposit section with the amount you have defined.

The quote will then have a new status at the top of the page - ‘Pending Deposit’

Next, you can share the quote with your customer so they can pay the deposit via Stripe.

To do this, click on the downward arrow next to the Share button and select Email.

A portal link can be added to your email message which can then be clicked by your customer. This will redirect your customers to allow them to view their quote online, where they can see the full details and an option to pay the deposit for the quote by Credit/Debit card

Clicking this button will take your customer to a new page, where they will have 3 options to pay.

Alternatively, when you upgrade the quote to a job, you can take payment Online via Stripe. Again, you will be able to choose from the 3 option, Card, Bacs or Klarna.

Manual Deposits

You can also add deposits without the Stripe Integration.

To do this, add your quote as normal and then click into the Prices tab. Scroll towards the bottom to add your deposit.

Here, you can choose ‘No Deposit Required’, ‘Part Deposit’ or ‘Full Deposit’.
If you choose ‘Part Deposit’, you’ll be able to enter an Amount or Percentage

The quote will then have a new status at the top of the page - ‘Pending Deposit’

Upon Upgrading the quote, you’ll have the option to ‘Take Payment’ where you can add the details of how you received the payment from your customer.

If you go through this method, the system will automatically add an invoice.

Again, if the Deposit was ‘Part Deposit’, the invoice will be marked with a Partially Paid tag at the top. You can resend this invoice out as normal when you are ready for the final payment.

At the Upgrade Quote stage, you also have the option to ‘Skip & Collect Later’. This will mean the quote will still upgrade but it will keep the ‘Pending Deposit’ tag at the top of the page.

To take the deposit against the job, click the Add Invoice button and then ‘Take Deposit’

If you choose to not use the ‘Take Deposit’ and simply click ‘Add Invoice’, a handy message will be displayed prompting you that the deposit amount will be added back to the overall invoice amount.
