We have a retail store that for in-store purchases we occasionally allow a customer to take an item out for a specified time. If the item is accepted or a specified period of time passes, this order should be fulfilled and charged. Is there an app or workflow to use to allow these memo sales and still collect the customer information and charge later?
Topic summary
Main issue: A retailer wants to let in‑store customers take an item for a set period and only be charged if they keep it or if the time limit passes.
Requirements:
- Capture customer information at checkout.
- Delay fulfillment and payment until the item is accepted or the agreed period expires.
- Trigger automatic fulfillment and charging at that point.
Ask: Is there a Shopify app or workflow that supports these “memo sales” (trial/approval) with delayed charges?
Latest update: Another participant followed up asking whether anyone found a solution. No app recommendations, workflows, or technical answers were provided.
Status: Unresolved/ongoing. No confirmed method identified. Open questions include how to structure delayed charging and automatic fulfillment based on acceptance or time expiry within Shopify.
Has anyone found a response for this?
