How do you set up a security deposit on the invoice?

Hello there, stelzdesign,

You'll want to use the progress invoicing feature in QuickBooks Online. It will help you set up a security deposit by sending 50% of your sale.

Let's start by turning this feature on your settings. Here's how:

1. Go to Settings ⚙, then select Account and Settings.
2. Select the Sales tab.
3. In the Progress Invoicing section, select Edit ✎.
4. Select the Create multiple partial invoices from a single estimate checkbox.
5. Select Save, then Done.

Next, create an estimate for the full sales amount and save it. Once done, make a progress invoice from the estimate and charge 50%. Then, send it to your customer for the security deposit request. See the attached screenshot below for your visual guide.

Feel free to read through this article: Set up and send progress invoices in QuickBooks Online for more details about the given steps above.
