Collect a partial payment at booking time, with the remainder due at or after the appointment.
Sesami uses Shopify's payment system, so deposits are handled through Shopify's order and payment flow.
Downpay is a Shopify app that works well with Sesami and offers:
Deposit collection — charge a partial amount at checkout
Card on file — store the card for the remaining balance
Capture later — collect the rest from the order page or POS
You can use product variants to define payment options:
Create variants like "Deposit — $25" and "Full Payment — $100"
The customer selects their payment option when booking
Collect the remaining balance separately via Shopify invoice or in-person payment
See this approach in action on the demo store.
Fixed amount — $25 deposit on a $100 service
Percentage — 20% deposit, balance due at appointment
Pay later — no deposit; collect full payment at the appointment
Clearly communicate your deposit and cancellation policy in the service's "Appointment Details" section so customers know what to expect.
Credit Card on File — store payment methods for future charges
Tips — add tipping to checkout
