The Deposit tools in Register Functions allows you to accept either a cash or card deposit right from the POS. This deposit is then later refunded, also through Register Functions. It should be noted that these deposits **cannot** be later applied to an order. For that, we recommend you use our Item Deposit feature. Click [here](https://support.lavu.com/en/knowledge/item-deposits?hsLang=en) to learn more about Item Deposits ### **Accepting a Deposit** To conduct a deposit in the POS, tap on the menu button in the bottom left corner, and tap on  Functions. ![register\_deposit1](https://support.lavu.com/hs-fs/hubfs/register_deposit1.png?width=688&height=516&name=register_deposit1.png) ![register\_deposit2](https://support.lavu.com/hs-fs/hubfs/register_deposit2.png?width=688&height=516&name=register_deposit2.png) Tap on **Register Functions,** then tap**Deposit**. **![register\_deposit3](https://support.lavu.com/hs-fs/hubfs/register_deposit3.png?width=688&height=516&name=register_deposit3.png)** **![register\_deposit4](https://support.lavu.com/hs-fs/hubfs/register_deposit4.png?width=688&height=516&name=register_deposit4.png)** Tap on either **Cash Deposit** or **Card Deposit** depending on what kind of deposit you want to take. ![register\_deposit5](https://support.lavu.com/hs-fs/hubfs/register_deposit5.png?width=688&height=516&name=register_deposit5.png) To take a deposit, tap on **Add New**. ![register\_deposit6](https://support.lavu.com/hs-fs/hubfs/register_deposit6.png?width=688&height=516&name=register_deposit6.png) You will then be prompted to fill in your customer's information including name and email address, as well as the actual deposit amount, and the reason for the deposit.
