Bookly Deposit Payments 3.9

Bookly Deposit Payments is a WordPress add-on for the Bookly plugin that lets you request a minimum payment when customers book an appointment. Instead of taking the full amount later, you can collect a deposit at the time of scheduling to confirm booking intent and improve booking stability. It solves the common issue of bookings that don’t proceed by enabling a configurable minimum that applies directly during the booking flow. With per-service and per-staff settings, you can tailor deposit rules to match your business structure. The add-on is designed to work seamlessly with Bookly so your booking pages and appointment process stay consistent.
