Car
The customer finds the car on the dealership website.
The customer asks you to hold the car: I’ll come and see it tomorrow. A free reservation would mean taking the car off the market on the strength of a phone call — and a phone promise binds no one.
A paid booking resolves it: the customer commits, the car is genuinely reserved and both sides win. The customer finds the car on your site, decides to reserve the car and pays the booking fee. The booking payment becomes a lead on the seller desk in the DMS.

The booking fee, the deposit and the car invoice are features of the same Verkkokauppamaksu.fi product. The deposit and the car invoice are described on online payments and deposits for car dealers.
