High-ticket items
Expensive products: deposits give you working capital and prove customer commitment before you begin work.
Pre-production
New designs still in development: collect deposits to gauge interest and fund manufacturing without inventory risk.
Custom services
Services with long timelines: deposits cover your upfront costs while the customer waits for completion.
