Services (v2): payment enhancements

EveryCatch has rolled out several updates to service payments so your customers have a more flexible checkout experience and your deposit amounts are calculated more accurately.

What changed

Choose between deposit or full payment

• You can now turn on a setting that lets your customers choose how they want to pay during checkout.
• When this is enabled for services that have a deposit set up, customers will see two options at checkout: Pay deposit and Pay full amount.
• This option appears only when online payments are enabled and the service has a deposit configured.
• If you leave this setting turned off, your customers will continue using the existing checkout flow where they pay the deposit only.

Improved support for buy now, pay later

• Customers who want to finance their purchase can now select to pay the full service amount, so supported Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) providers can finance the entire booking instead of only the deposit.
• This makes checkout smoother and gives your customers more flexibility in how they spread out their payments.

Smarter deposit calculations

• Percentage-based deposits are now calculated from the final payable amount after discounts are applied, so customers pay a deposit based on what they actually owe.
• If a coupon is added, removed, or changed during checkout, EveryCatch now automatically recalculates the deposit amount in real time.
• Deposit calculations now include applicable add-ons and taxes, using your configured deposit percentage, for a more accurate amount due at the time of booking.
• Flat deposit amounts are unchanged and continue to behave as they did before.

How to use

1. Go to Services → Global settings → Payment settings in your EveryCatch account.
2. Set the payment mode to Online payment.
3. Turn on Allow deposit or full payment choice.
4. Save your changes.

After you enable this, customers booking services with deposits in EveryCatch will see an option at checkout to either pay just the deposit or pay the full amount upfront.

Why this matters

• Give your customers flexible payment options by letting them choose how they prefer to pay at checkout.
• Offer a better experience for customers using Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) payment methods on full service amounts.
• Increase clarity and trust by making sure deposits are based on the actual final booking value.
