Collecting deposits at approval

When a customer taps Approve, the deposit checkout is right there — card payment, straight to your bank via Stripe. FinishProof never holds your money. Online deposits are a Pro and Shop feature.

  1. 1

    One-time setup (Pro/Shop): Settings → Plan & payments → "Set up deposit payouts" — Stripe's onboarding takes ~3 minutes (bank account + identity).

  2. 2

    Set a deposit % on the quote (your default comes from settings).

  3. 3

    Customer approves → pays the deposit on the same page → you get a "deposit paid" email and the job is booked.

  4. 4

    On the Free plan the approval link still works — the customer is shown the deposit amount and told to arrange payment with you directly.

FinishProof's platform fee is 1.5% of each deposit or invoice payment on monthly plans and 0% on annual plans (Stripe's card-processing fee applies separately). The subscription itself never takes a cut of your labor.
