DepositGuard module

Protect commencement by confirming deposits before work starts.

DepositGuard is PaidSoon's answer to the question: Can we start this job safely?

DepositGuard helps teams request, track, and reconcile deposit payments so work only starts once required funds are confirmed.

What problem does this solve?

Jobs often begin before deposits are fully confirmed, leaving teams exposed to avoidable cash-flow and commencement risk.

How does DepositGuard help?

  • -Create deposit-backed jobs with server-calculated required amounts
  • -Generate secure public payment-request links and request timelines
  • -Track request states across requested, viewed, partial, overdue, and paid
  • -Automatically unblock commencement once required deposits are confirmed

What does the workflow look like?

  1. Step 1

    Create a DepositGuard job and review required deposit calculations

  2. Step 2

    Send a deposit request with a due date and external payment link

  3. Step 3

    Monitor reminders, views, and partial/overdue payment states

  4. Step 4

    Record confirmed payments manually while Stripe connected-account collection remains planned

FAQ

Does DepositGuard process card payments directly today?

Not in the MVP path. DepositGuard currently uses external payment links and manual confirmation, while connected-account Stripe collection remains planned.

Can we use progress-payment milestones?

Yes. You can define milestone schedules and generate linked progress-payment requests from those milestones.

DepositGuard improves commencement control and payment visibility. Stripe connected-account automation and advanced reconciliation remain planned expansions.
