How do I set up a payment method where someone can place a deposit to start item and pay the remaining balance once item is completed.
Hi, [email removed]Elewis0554!
I’d like to recommend a couple of apps you can take a look into that offer deposit and partial payments as an option -
-
Deposits, Payments & Pre‑Order - Manage Deposits, Pre-order and Partial & Split Payments
-
Split — Partial Payments - Manual Payment Plan | Split, Share & Multiply Payments
Both these apps offer the ability to charge customers a fixed amount upfront and the remaining amount later. They offer different priced plans, so it would be beneficial to trial each app to see which one is best suited to your business needs.
If you’re looking to introduce deposit and partial payments for your store, I’d like to recommend a couple of great resources to help with marketing this feature. We have a great blog here called Email Marketing: The Definitive Guide for Small Business as well as another blog that helps with Customer Acquisition.
