Shopify Payments for invoicing but not for checkout

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment
1

Hi there,

For my store I cannot have customers pay immediately at checkout. The orders are custom and need consultation first. I have set my store up so that their checkout experience appears as an order form, rather than a completed, paid purchase. I have selected the manual payment method so that there is no prompt for credit card details at the checkout stage because I do not want to take funds at that point. I need to take funds through invoices.

I want to use the Shopify payments functionality for when I send them their invoice through draft orders.

At this stage if I activate Shopify payments for my invoice purposes, it reverts to prompting card details at the checkout stage.

I want to use the draft order order feature to manually invoice customers AFTER receiving their order form, and give the ability to pay with credit card through Shopify payments.

Essentially, I want the Shopify payments functionality for the invoicing, but for it to not visible at the checkout stage. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Zac :slightly_smiling_face:

We have the same setup as our poducts are custom made-to-order and we need to receive payments with a 50% deposit and 50% before shipping.

I did a lot of work arounds but I too would like some better advice on how to use to app in the same way in your post.

I have a client with this exact same use case. Did you ever get an answer?

Hello,
At this time, we decided to use a REQUEST A QUOTE app instead of allowing the customer to check out or pay through the Shopify store.
You can view one of our product pages below:

When we receive a quote request we send them a quote using our accounting program (Quickbooks), this way we can ask for a 50% deposit before production and then request the remaining balance including shipping and handling before shipping the order.
I hope this helps; we find that this method gives us the control we need for our custom products.

Thank You!

Sincerely,

Doyle L. Wynn Jr.

Thanks very much; this is an excellent suggestion and I’m going to run it past my client to see if it’ll work.
