Take Customer Deposits for Special Orders Clearly
Put the item, price, due date, and deposit terms in writing before ordering.
By ElectroX Team
A special order ties up cash and creates an expectation about timing. A deposit can protect both sides when the conditions are clear.
## Specify the item
Record exact model, color, capacity, condition, estimated arrival, and total price. Explain what happens if the supplier substitutes or delays it.
## Record the deposit
Show amount paid and remaining balance on a dated reference. State refund or cancellation terms in plain language before taking money.
## Complete the handoff
Confirm the actual unit and final payment at pickup. If the order cannot be fulfilled, follow the written remedy promptly.
