Deposit Reductions: Lower Deposits, Tickets and Prepayments Automatically

Update July 9, 2026

Deposit Reductions: Lower Deposits, Tickets and Prepayments Automatically

The amount you take at booking is a blunt tool when it is the same for everyone. Deposit Reductions automatically lower whatever a customer pays upfront, whether that is a deposit, a full event ticket, or a prepayment, on quiet nights, for early bookers, or on specific sessions. You set the rules once and they run themselves.

Update July 4, 2026

Make Your Own Social Graphics, On Brand and In Minutes

Fully AI-generated posters look clever and fall apart the moment you need real details. The new Graphics editor is the opposite: a proper design tool built into BookingNinja that pulls your real session name, date, logo and colours straight in, so you can turn out on-brand social posts in minutes.
