ask for a deposit when the quote is accepted

for jobs that need materials or a chunk of upfront work, get the deposit at signature time — not later. mayhaw collects it through stripe the moment the customer accepts.

3 steps~2 min
  1. 1

    open the quote

    in mayhaw's editor, scroll to the deposit section below the line items.

  2. 2

    turn on "require deposit on acceptance"

    set the deposit as a percentage (e.g. 30%) or a fixed amount. mayhaw shows the customer the full quote total but only lets them sign once they pay the deposit.

  3. 3

    send

    the customer signs and pays in one flow. you get the deposit immediately (stripe-to-bank in 1-2 days), and the deposit gets credited automatically when the quote converts to an invoice.

    tip

    for jobs where you're going to charge for materials anyway, the deposit covers your material cost. that protects you from the customer who signs and ghosts after you've already bought supplies.
