# Accept deposits for purchases

Source: https://support.storeconnect.com/articles/deposits · Last modified 21 August 2026

Deposits are a way to let your customers pay only part of the purchase price of an item up-front. There are many reasons you might want to do this, but as always, it depends on what suits your business.

## Configuring deposits

### Products

You can configure which Products require a deposit by checking the checkbox for `Product2.Require_Deposit__c`. This will ensure the amount charged at checkout will be a depoist only.

### Deposit amount

There are two ways to configure what amount is charged for the deposit: a global amount used for all products, or a custom per-product amount.

#### Global amount

To configure a global deposit price across your store, you can use the `Store__c.Deposit_Amount__c` field to set the deposit amount that will be charged at checkout for all products that require a deposit **as long as they don’t have their own custom amount set**.

#### Per-product amount

To configure a product with its own deposit amount, set a value in the Product’s `PricebookEntry.Deposit_Amount__c` field. This will override any global deposit amount.

> **Note** If the deposit amount exceeds the Product’s price, the deposit will not be charged, just the product’s price.
