Using Upfront payments, you will be able to require partial or full payment upfront, for all or selected services. 

Requirements for using and setting up deposits:

• You must have Fresha payment processing enabled. Fresha payment processing is currently available in certain countries. If your country isn't listed, keep your eyes peeled as it will be available in more countries soon!
• You can choose either Upfront payments or Capture card details - you cannot have both.
• Upfront payments will be subject to the same standard payment processing fees as other card transactions.
• Upfront payments will be applicable by default for both online and offline appointments.
• When an upfront payment is collected, no invoice will be issued. An invoice will be issued once the whole appointment has been checked out.
• There won’t be any automatic refunds of Upfront payments. You will need to refund them manually prior to the appointment, from the appointment, or after the appointment via the invoice.
