Deposits with Stripe

Take a % deposit the moment the customer accepts. Money lands in your own Stripe account, not ours.

How it works

  1. You connect your Stripe account via Stripe Connect (Standard).
  2. You set a deposit percentage (0–100%).
  3. When a customer accepts a quote, they're redirected to Stripe Checkout.
  4. They pay the deposit directly into your Stripe balance.

Setup

Go to Settings → Deposits. Click Connect Stripe and complete Stripe's onboarding — takes about 5 minutes.

Once connected, use the slider to set your deposit percentage. Set it to 0 to disable deposits without disconnecting Stripe.

Fees

  • Stripe's standard payment processing fees apply (typically 1.5% + 20p for UK cards).
  • Quote Nudge takes a 2% platform fee on each deposit to cover our costs.
  • No fee on quotes that don't collect a deposit.

Refunds

Refunds are handled directly in your Stripe dashboard. Search for the customer's payment and refund from there — Quote Nudge doesn't hold the funds.

When the deposit fails

The quote is still marked ACCEPTED in Xero — deposit collection is a separate step. You'll see the deposit status on the customer's row in the Quotes list.
