I know you can accept multiple partial payments on Shopify POS which is very useful in my business but i would like this same function when doing draft orders or manual orders. I would like to email my customer the draft order and accept a “deposit” or a “down payment” on an order. Currently Square …

Thank you so much for all of this information to help clarify what you’re needing. Based on what you’re saying the option that would work best for you is to use the Draft Order feature and split the payments up that way.
