Is the request a deposit feature on estimates not available to everyone using QuickBooks online Essentials?

The request deposit feature on estimates is available to all QuickBooks Online (QBO) users,mzech24.

As we begin to roll out this feature, all QBO users will have the ability to request a deposit on an estimate. Users with an active QuickBooks Payments account will have the option to collect the deposit online. 

Once this feature is available, you can refer to this article to learn more about requesting a deposit on an estimate in QBO: Request a customer deposit on an estimate.
