I did this for an event we weren't sure if it would happen.
I had people to pay a partial amount. I asked for $10. You can't set it so they pay no more than $10.
Once we knew the event was on, I asked people to go back and pay the balance. Usually I ended up paying out the registrations myself.
As far as a best practice, I'm not sure how I would do it differently. I would have liked the deposit to be $10 and no more.
The deposit was non-refundable.

Subject: Creating a registration site that allows option for an initial deposit to hold attendee space
We're working on our conference registration site design for next year and want to investigate how people could register and we collect/invoice an initial deposit to hold their space. Has anyone done this and if yes, do you have any best practices or lessons learned that we could leverage? Thanks!
