Deposit / prepayment
A deposit is an amount collected from the guest up front to secure a booking; it is deducted from the bill if they arrive and offsets the loss if they do not.
Deposits are typically used for large parties, special dates (New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day), and fine-dining bookings. They can be a flat per-person amount or a percentage of the expected bill.
TablePing defines deposit rules by party size, day, and time and sends the guest a payment link through iyzico’s infrastructure. Payment status shows on the reservation record.
