đź’ł How to Set Up Deposit Payments in the PhotoBiz Scheduler
Want to let your clients pay a deposit when booking a session? No problem! With the PhotoBiz Scheduler, you can give clients the option to pay a deposit up front and pay the rest later — or even pay in full right away.
Follow the steps below to set up deposit options for any service in your Scheduler.
🌟 Pro Tip
After your client books, you can easily send an invoice for the remaining balance right from your PhotoBiz control panel.
STEP ONE
Log into your PhotoBiz Account
From your control panel, click on SCHEDULER in the left-hand menu.
STEP TWO
Go to Your Services
At the top of the Scheduler screen, click on SERVICES.
STEP THREE
Choose or Create a Service
Either create a new service, or select an existing one that you want to add payment options to.
STEP FOUR
Set the Base Service Price to $0
Set the Service Amount to $0.00 — we’ll use sub-options to control pricing in the next steps.
đź’ˇ Want to hide pricing until a paid option is selected?
Update your ECommerce General Settings to keep $0 pricing hidden from view.
STEP FIVE
Add a Payment Option
In your service options list, click OPTIONS, then click NEW OPTION to get started.
STEP SIX
Rename the Option Group
You’ll see a new group called "Untitled."
Click the ✏️ pencil icon to rename it to something like Payment Options.
STEP SEVEN
Create Your Deposit Option
Type a Sub-Option Name (like “Pay Deposit”) and enter the Additional Price (your deposit amount).
Click Add Sub-Option to save it.
FINAL STEP
Add the Full Payment Option
Click Go Back, then repeat the process to add another option (e.g., “Pay in Full”) with the full session price.
🎉 What Your Clients Will See
When booking, clients will now see a dropdown menu with your payment options. They can choose to pay the deposit or the full amount — whatever works best for them!
