How to Collect Deposit for a Booking

This user guide provides step-by-step instructions for collecting a deposit for a booking—both when creating a booking and afterwards if a deposit was missed. In the DigiMEDSPA Portal, the term "booking" refers to an appointment.

Understanding Terminologies

Booking

A booking refers to reserving a time slot for aesthetic and wellness procedures such as facials, chemical peels, injectables, or laser therapies. It typically involves selecting a service, choosing a time slot, and confirming appointment details.

Deposit

A deposit is a partial payment collected in advance to confirm and secure a patient’s booking. It serves as a commitment from the patient and is later adjusted in the total bill during checkout. Deposits help minimize last-minute cancellations and ensure smoother payment processing.

Collect Deposit While Creating a New Booking

  1. To create a new booking, go to the EMR Board and click “New Booking” located in the top-right corner of the screen.
    Note: There are more navigation points available to create a new booking. For detailed instructions, refer to the “Book an Appointment through New Booking” user guide.
  2. The New Booking form will open, complete the patient details and booking details sections. Below the booking details, select “Take Deposit” if you wish to collect an advance deposit, then click “Create Booking.” If the “Take Deposit” option is selected, you’ll be directed to the Upfront Deposit Payment Screen, which displays the required deposit amount.
    Note: When multiple services are selected, the deposit shown will be the total of all service deposits.
  3. Choose the payment method (Existing Card, New Card, Cash or Other), fill in the required details and click “Pay Now” to collect the deposit.

  3. Choose the payment method (Existing Card, New Card, Cash or Other), fill in the required details and click “Pay Now” to collect the deposit.

    Note: This button is provided in case you forgot to collect a deposit while creating the booking, allowing you to do so later with ease. “Take Deposit” button will only be visible for bookings that have not yet been conducted, and are yet to be performed.
