Deposits

The deposit field adds a refundable charge to products, typically used for bottle deposits (Pfand) or reusable container schemes. The deposit amount is displayed separately from the product price, making it clear to customers what portion is refundable.

​

How It Works

When a product has a deposit:

• The deposit amount is added to the product’s total price
• Customers see “Includes bottle deposit: £X.XX” on the product page
• The deposit is included in the order total

​

Setting Up Deposits

1. Go to your storekit dashboard
2. Navigate to Menu
3. Click into a product
4. In the Deposit field, enter the deposit amount
5. Click Save

​

Regional Requirements

​

Deposits sync automatically when importing menus from supported POS systems:
