💳 How to Set Up Deposit Payments in the PhotoBiz Scheduler

Want to let your clients pay a deposit when booking a session? No problem! With the PhotoBiz Scheduler, you can give clients the option to pay a deposit up front and pay the rest later — or even pay in full right away.

Follow the steps below to set up deposit options for any service in your Scheduler.

STEP ONE

Log into your PhotoBiz Account

From your control panel, click on SCHEDULER in the left-hand menu.

STEP TWO

Go to Your Services

At the top of the Scheduler screen, click on SERVICES.

STEP THREE

Choose or Create a Service

Either create a new service, or select an existing one that you want to add payment options to.

STEP FOUR

Set the Base Service Price to $0

Set the Service Amount to $0.00 — we’ll use sub-options to control pricing in the next steps.

💡 Want to hide pricing until a paid option is selected?
Update your ECommerce General Settings to keep $0 pricing hidden from view.

STEP FIVE

Add a Payment Option

In your service options list, click OPTIONS, then click NEW OPTION to get started.

STEP SIX

Rename the Option Group

You’ll see a new group called "Untitled."

Click the ✏️ pencil icon to rename it to something like Payment Options.

STEP SEVEN

Create Your Deposit Option

Type a Sub-Option Name (like “Pay Deposit”) and enter the Additional Price (your deposit amount).

Click Add Sub-Option to save it.

FINAL STEP

Add the Full Payment Option

Click Go Back, then repeat the process to add another option (e.g., “Pay in Full”) with the full session price.

🎉 What Your Clients Will See

When booking, clients will now see a dropdown menu with your payment options. They can choose to pay the deposit or the full amount — whatever works best for them!
