Take the deposit at booking. Settle at the counter.
Stripe is the one provider that covers a job end to end — hold or take a deposit when the booking comes in, send a payment link while the work’s in progress, push the balance to a named reader on your counter. All of it lands on the same job.

Stripe
Deposits, payment links and Stripe Terminal readers, on your own Stripe account.
Where the money is, at every stage of the job
One job, three moments a customer might pay. Stripe handles all three, and Workshop keeps the running total.
At booking
Take a deposit as the booking lands — or authorise the card and capture it later. Whoever accepts the work sees what’s been paid and what’s only being held.
deposit or authorisationAt the counter
Send the invoice to a named Stripe Terminal reader — “Front counter”, “Workshop desk” — and take the balance, or part of it, card-present.
Stripe TerminalOnce it’s done
Customer not in the shop? Send a payment link from the job instead. Stripe tells Workshop the moment it settles either way.
payment linkWhat syncs
What each side brings, and what you get.
Take a deposit when the booking arrives, or authorise the card and capture it when the job is accepted. Both sit on the job, so nobody has to go looking for them.
at bookingRaise the invoice on the job and send a Stripe checkout link. The customer pays from wherever they are, and the job hears back.

card-presentYou connect your own account. Rates, payouts and refunds stay between you and Stripe — Workshop reads the result and files it against the job.
your accountName your readers, then send an invoice to one
Register each reader with the code it shows on screen, give it a label your team actually says out loud, and file it under the right location. When the customer’s ready, your team picks the reader in front of them and sends the invoice to it — the full amount or part of it. If they change their mind mid-tap, cancel it from Workshop.
