# Can ServiceM8 handle deposits or progress payments on jobs?

> Find out whether ServiceM8 can handle deposits or progress payments on jobs.

Yes. ServiceM8 can handle deposits and staged billing in two main ways.

Use **Partial/Progress Invoicing** when you want to invoice part of a job as a deposit or progress claim. If you use **ServiceM8 Pay**, you can also require a deposit during quote acceptance so the customer pays before the job proceeds.

Use **Partial/Progress Invoicing** for staged billing, or **ServiceM8 Pay** deposits if you want the customer to pay during quote acceptance.
