Collect a deposit when it improves the handoff.
For businesses using Aaptly booking, an optional Stripe Connect deposit can secure the next step and make payment status visible. Deposits support the customer path; they are not Aaptly's growth promise.
How this product moves the business forward.
The Growth OS connects demand creation, customer response, repeat demand, and outcome feedback. This page is specific about the job Optional Deposits performs inside that system.
An optional deposit can strengthen a booking handoff and reduce no-show exposure when the business uses Aaptly's Stripe Connect workflow.
Deposits support the customer path. They are not the reason a business buys the Growth OS.The workspace keeps the signal, customer path, and next action together.
The interface above is a faithful demo of the shipped Aaptly workflow. Its data is sanitized and does not represent a live customer result. These are the inputs and workflow signals Optional Deposits keeps connected so the team can act with context.
The work Aaptly handles to turn attention into customer opportunities.
Deposit at booking

Confirmation context
Use the payment state to support the right confirmation or human follow-up without overselling automation.
