# Manual Charges & Deposits

HoneyCart gives caterers the flexibility to charge the client after they've had a chance to confirm the order or perform any upsells:

* charge the **Full Amount** or a **Deposit** after the order's been placed
* charge any time you're ready (i.e. before or after the event time)

![Charging a deposit is the same process as charging the full amount. Simply enter the amount or % to charge.](/files/2F5xKprMq81edMGbVSUF)
