Deposit

In Kasura

A deposit in Kasura is an amount or item held as security for a booking, existing to give the business financial recourse against damage, loss or unpaid fees discovered when the asset comes back. At return (for vehicles) or check-out (for accommodation), the deposit is resolved through exactly one of three paths: it can be returned to the customer in full, partially deducted to cover specific costs, or kept entirely. A deposit type records how the security was originally taken — cash, a held passport, a held ID, or explicitly no deposit at all for businesses that choose not to require one. Whenever a deduction or full retention occurs, Kasura requires staff to record a reason, which supports justifying the decision later if the customer disputes it. This resolution process is always driven by staff judgment; Kasura does not automatically assess damage or decide how much of a deposit to withhold — that determination is made by the person handling the return or check-out, informed by the condition notes and photos captured during the process. The deposit concept is distinct from Kasura's own SaaS billing: a deposit is money or an item the rental operator holds from their own customer, while SaaS billing is what the operator separately pays Kasura for platform access.
