How can I charge a refundable deposit for item containers on my online store?

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment
1

Some items we’d like to sell have deposits for the containers they are delivered in. it’s not a rental, there is no fee for the items use. I just need to be able to charge a deposit that can be easily refunded when the container is returned or not if it isn’t returned. The apps I’m finding are for splitting payments for a single item. If there’s a way to make a single item purchase show and bill as two items where I can refund the one separately I’m not seeing it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

we do support the above scenario through ‘Deposit flow’ in Depo(https://apps.shopify.com/deposits-split-payments).

We also have a tutorial on how to set it up for your flow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N27seyV021E&t=1s

Do let us know if you need help with setup. You can reach us out here or at support@sidepanda.com

Thanks,

hey @Fifty_Paul

We have lots of customers using our app to charge the deposit. It adds as a separate product and then when the customer brings it back they refund that one item off their invoice.

If you do end up trying it out feel free to reach out to me support@sasquatchstudio.co.

Thanks!

Finally there is a solution to it:

you should try this :

https://apps.shopify.com/pfand-deposit-fee

it will create pfand fees for your store, and also monitors your cart, so that fee cant be removed .

also it works on particular product and per qty basis.
