Deposit (Hold) is a payment type that can be available to customers only if selected in your payment options by a MyRec.com staff member. This payment type allows staff to process a registration or reservation and enter a payment that does not appear as income. The intent here is that your department will have received a check, cash, or similar payment form and will hold it (not deposit it) to return later if deposit requirements were met. Often used for reservations, this type has its own report. To use this payment type with a credit card payment, follow the steps below.

If selected, the Deposit (Hold) Report will become an option and will allow you to search by date range to pull every Deposit (Hold) payment within your given date range.
