Introducing Deposits for Special Orders!

Collect payments your way - upfront, in parts, or all at once - with Rundoo's flexible deposit system.

What is new with Rundoo? 🚀

Special Order Deposits Have Arrived!

Now you can easily collect and manage deposits for special order products. Set your own rules, adjust on the fly, and keep perfect payment records from start to finish.

What does this mean? 🤔

Running a business with special orders just got simpler!

You decide how much customers pay upfront - nothing, everything, or something in between. Need different rules for different products? No problem! Each product can have its own deposit amount.

Want to collect taxes with the deposit? Or save them for later? You choose what works for your business. And everything shows up clearly on receipts so everyone knows where they stand.

Why is this important? 💡

Special orders can tie up your cash and inventory. Deposits help protect your business while giving customers peace of mind.

With our system, you can:

• Get upfront commitment from customers

• Cover your initial costs before ordering

• Collect additional payments as work progresses

• Handle cancellations fairly

Plus, everything is tracked automatically - no more searching through notes or trying to remember who paid what!

What does this look like? 👀

Here's how easy it is to use deposits:

1. Set your company-wide defaults:
   • Choose your default percentage (the system starts at 50%)

   • Decide about collecting taxes with deposits. We recommend doing so, unless your state laws prohibit this.

2. Customize individual products when needed:
   • Some products might need smaller or larger deposits
   • These override your default settings

3. Watch it work at checkout

   • Deposits calculate automatically
   • You can adjust them with a simple click

4. Accept payment however customers prefer
   • Take cash, checks, or cards for deposits
   • Clear records for both you and the customer

5. In Special orders, collect more as needed

   

   • Take additional payments anytime
   • Track progress toward full payment

6. Handle changes smoothly

   

   • Options for keeping or returning deposits if orders change
   • Flexibility to do what's right for each situation
