Event Deposits

Hi All,

I'm looking for some best practice advice: We're looking at having a high priced event that we'd like to take deposits for (both in-house and online). I'm trying to figure out what the best way to set this up would be.

Currently I'm thinking of having a separate price type for the deposit, then returning it and applying payment to the full priced item. I'm a little worried that it makes more work for our box office and that it leaves the door open for orders to be forgotten at the deposit stage, but it's all I can think of that works online and in-client. Does that make sense? Any other thoughts or methods?

Thanks!
