Events and Services
Let customers secure bookings and services with a deposit while you lock in revenue early
Merchants offering events, services, and bookings run into these patterns:
No-shows and cancellations
Customers can back out of a booking when there's no commitment tied to the reservation.
Cash flow gaps before the event
Planning, staffing, and suppliers need to be paid for ahead of time, but full payment from customers often comes late.
Downpay lets you:
Secure bookings with a deposit
Let customers reserve a date or service with a partial payment at checkout.
Automate balance collection
Charge the remaining balance automatically as the event or service date approaches.
Reduce manual follow-up
Skip the chasing emails and let the card on file handle the rest.

Use Cases
Built for how events and service brands really sell
“When they show up at the boat, they're fully paid. There's no awkwardness. There's no weirdness. They just get on the boat and have a good time.”
