Program Deposit

The upfront amount or percentage due when a customer accepts a service program.

Why LAWNSNOWAPP asks for it

It establishes the initial payment expectation before the remaining program balance.

How LAWNSNOWAPP uses it

LAWNSNOWAPP uses the selected deposit type and value when presenting the proposal's payment schedule.

Example

25% due at acceptance, with the remainder shown as the program balance.

If you leave it blank

No deposit is presented unless the program configuration requires one.

If you change it later

Future proposal calculations use the new deposit; already accepted or finalized documents retain stored terms.

Common mistakes

  • Entering 25 dollars when the type is percentage
  • Using a deposit to hide the total program price
