open or create the invoice
either start a new invoice or open an existing draft. the deposit toggle lives below the line items.

turn on "require a deposit"
set the deposit as a percentage (e.g. 50%) or a fixed amount. pawpaw shows the customer the full total but only lets them pay the deposit first.

send
the customer pays the deposit through the same payment link. once you mark the work complete (or the deposit is captured), pawpaw sends them a balance-due notice automatically.
tipdeposits hit your stripe balance the same as any other payment — there's no escrow. that money is yours the moment they pay.
