Take a deposit or part payment
Bill one figure up front and spread it across the job.
What this is for
Big jobs get paid in stages. A deposit invoice bills one amount now — a percentage or a round figure — and Sign OS spreads it across the items on the job, so the final invoice later is simply what is left.

Send it the same way as any invoice: to accounting, or Send via Stripe for a card link. When the job is done, come back and bill Everything remaining for the balance.
Tips & gotchas
- The job's Left to bill figure always shows what is still owed after every deposit, so you never have to work it out by hand.
- A deposit does not close the job. Only Everything remaining marks the final invoice.
