Deposit-specific decision
Compare the deposit workflow for medical spas.
Client-controlled amount can add a commitment without forcing one business-set amount. The practice still defines the policy boundaries and keeps authority over exceptions.
Aesthetic Record is the dedicated med-spa EMR, booking, and POS option in this shortlist.
Do the listed competitors support deposits?
Yes, each has a verified deposit workflow, but competitors use business-defined controls and may require their payments product. Client-selected deposit amount was not verified for them.
