Services payment updates to give your customers more choice

EveryCatch has introduced several updates to the Services payment experience so your customers have more flexible checkout options 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 decide how they want to pay at checkout.
• When this is enabled and a service has a deposit set up, customers will see two options during payment: Pay deposit and Pay full amount.
• This option is available only when Online payments are turned on and the service has a deposit configured.
• If you leave this setting off, customers will continue using the existing deposit-only checkout flow.

Improved support for BNPL

• Customers who want to finance their purchase can now choose to pay the full service amount, which lets supported Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) providers finance the entire booking instead of just the deposit.
• This makes checkout smoother for customers who use BNPL and gives them more flexibility in how they complete payment.

Smarter deposit calculations

• Percentage-based deposits are now calculated on 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 updated during checkout, EveryCatch automatically recalculates the deposit amount in real time.
• Deposit calculations now also factor in eligible add-ons and taxes, using your configured deposit percentage, so the amount due at booking is more accurate.
• Flat deposit amounts are unchanged and continue to work as they did before.

How to use

1. Go to Services → Global settings → Payment settings.
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 setting, customers booking services that use deposits will be able to choose at checkout whether to pay just the deposit or the full amount.

Why this matters

• Give your customers more control by letting them choose the payment option that fits them best.
• Offer a smoother experience for customers who use Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) payment methods.
• Increase clarity and trust by making sure deposits are aligned with the final booking value.
