Request a down payment or deposit
With Swikly, you can request a swik which is the equivalent of a claim or a guarantee deposit. Swiks are used for example to secure a booking or material:
A swik guarantees and secures a booking, a lease, a purchase, a security deposit (or deposit) ... both for the salesman (provider) and the buyer (customer). Ordering a swik is like ordering a transaction receipt of a bank card ... but it's more practical and much more secured. A swik replaces security deposits, deposits or using deposits ... with transferring any money in a secure way!
