Our deposit is only part of the session price, not the full amount. Can I charge just a portion upfront?
No, online payment at booking takes the full price of the service, there's no separate partial-deposit mode. A workaround is a separate “hold my spot” service with the same duration as the session and a small fixed price: the client books it instead of the main service and pays the rest in person. Or simply take the full session price at booking — which is what most studios end up doing, since it protects an artist's day the most reliably.
