Deposits & balances

Collect a deposit with Stripe, then bill the balance

Take a deposit up front to lock in the work, then bill the remaining balance with one click when you’re done — all on your own Stripe account, no code required.

No Stripe account? We set one up for you — free, as part of getting started.

Deposits are how service businesses protect their time — but Stripe doesn’t offer a simple “deposit now, balance later” flow out of the box. CrexiPay does. Collect a set amount up front, track exactly what’s still owed, and send the balance invoice in a single click when the job is complete.

What you get

Deposit now, balance later — the easy way

Take a deposit up front

Charge a deposit to secure the booking or start the work — by card, on your branded checkout.

Bill the balance in one click

When the job’s done, send the remaining balance as a new request without re-entering anything.

Always know what’s owed

Every deposit shows the total, the amount paid and the balance still due — nothing slips through.

On-brand throughout

The deposit and the balance invoice both go out under your business name, from start to finish.

Secure & tracked

Payments run on Stripe’s secure checkout and settle to your own account, with every step logged.

No code, no Stripe account needed

Set it up in minutes with no developer — and if you don’t have Stripe yet, we’ll create it for you.

Common questions

Yes. CrexiPay lets you charge a deposit up front on your Stripe account, tracks the remaining balance, and lets you bill it with one click when the work is finished — no code needed.

Who is deposit billing for?

Any business that takes money up front: contractors, agencies, photographers, event planners, consultants, tradespeople and more.

Does the money go to my own Stripe account?
