How to Set Up a Customer’s Deposit Payment Reminders
As of version 2.0.2, we’ve added two modes for sending customers their payment reminder emails.
X Days after the first payment:
The shop admin can select a reminder date X days after the payment is made. If a customer places an order on June 1st and the admin selects a reminder date of 7, the reminder email will be sent out on June 8th.
Based on product status:
The reminder email is sent with this setting when the shop owner manually changes the order status from “Deposit Payment” to “selected Order status from reminder option”.
Shop owners who take custom orders for products or ship globally will find this feature very useful.
Manual Deposit Reminder:
Send the deposit reminder manually, just like the default WooCommerce Order actions.
Email Templates for Deposit Orders
We have added five new templates for deposit orders. The new templates are customizable.
New Deposit:
Send these emails sent to your chosen recipient(s) when you receive a new deposit.
Deposit Order:
These deposit emails are sent to customers with details of their deposit information and provide payment links.
Deposit Fully Paid:
Send these emails when you receive a new deposit, and the balance is settled in full.
Deposit Reminder:
Send these when a customer has a payment due.

FAQ – Deposit for WooCommerce
Why are deposit options not displayed in the variation product tab?
The variation product has a different price option, so we’ve moved it from the default “deposit options” section to under each variation in the product data field.
