Overview
Create or select an Order under Store → Orders (status often moves through deposit toward paid). Record money under order payments with date, amount, method, and status. Payment method options come from Office payment-method configuration referenced by the app.
Recommended fields
- Payment date and amount
- Method aligned with how you actually collected funds
- Order and customer association
- Notes for special arrangements or partial refunds
- Order status that reflects what is still owed
Practical note
Deposit arguments are expensive—make the order and payment rows tell one story.
Admin setup
Set default deposit behavior in General Settings (order_default_deposit_mode, order_default_deposit_value). Define payment methods in Payment Methods. Online card deposits need Payment Gateways.
Advanced options
Override per order on line items when programs differ. POS and kiosk read the same defaults. See Online deposit settings and Order detail workflows.
Troubleshooting
Deposit amount disputes: verify order payments table, gateway receipt, and youngling assignment. Ensure salesperson is set on kiosk/POS orders for commission audit.
