Could John or an EstLite user who ACTUALLY TAKES DEPOSITS and does this in EstLite give me a nudge in right direction please ?

In over 10 years of use I have never taken deposits, on reflection, that was a BAD idea... Now.. very interested in doing so but want to show payments recieved ( which I don't use either )

No urgency but would be nice ; )
Thanks in advance,
Adam TPF

The deposit can be entered in the bottom left corner of the Customer Data page of EstLite, in the box labelled Deposit
If entered here, the deposit will be shown on the printed docket, and, if Till has been enabled, the amount will be entered into the till ready to be printed by your attached till roll printer.

Full payment up front has made life so much simpler for us in terms of systems and cash flow (and customers actually collect sooner). Very very little resistance to it.

This.

It's our system too (big sign behind the counter "Payment upfront and rush fee 35%" and we've never lost a sale because of it.On the very odd occasion someone queries it we smilingly say "We'd be out of business, because people don't collect" and they immediately understand and are happy to proceed.

Thank you both for your replies, VERY interesting, I need to change don't I ....far too casual about payments. "Pay when you collect" I happily say to the customer, Unfortunately, at the moment I feel that a few customers find themselves finacialy embarassed and don't get back in touch to collect as soon as I'd like. Not my problem I guess, Thanks again.

Exactly, not our problem.
Once they pay, they own it.
