Instead of requiring full payment from your clients at the time of their photography orders, you can accept an order deposit instead. This will also be helpful if you prefer to invoice your clients but want to be sure that you are covered in the case of a last minute cancellation. You can choose to either charge a percentage of the order or a fixed dollar amount. Take a look below to see how to set up order deposits!
