It is possible to configure the online booking system to provide an option for the customer to pay either a full amount or a deposit.
Configuration can include how the deposit is calculated, and how many days prior to a course starting the deposit is allowed as an option - for example, if the course starts shortly, deposit is not offered.
Deposit Calculation Type
There is a portal global setting which controls how a deposit is calculated.
First Course/Accommodation
The first course and first accommodation (chronologically) are used to calculate the deposit amount.
All Bookings
All bookings are used to determine the deposit amount
Deposit Calculation Value
On each Service there are two fields - Portal Deposit Type and Portal Deposit Qty.
Portal Deposit Type is either Amount or Percent
Portal Deposit Qty is the value of the Amount or Percent
Default Deposit
In the event all of the input services have a NULL Deposit Type and/or Value, then the total value of that Booking will be used to calculate the Deposit.
