Use Case: This setup is ideal if you want to give your customers flexibility. They can decide whether to pay the full price immediately or secure the product with a partial deposit.
Why Offer Both Options #
- Increases conversion by letting hesitant buyers pay less upfront.
- Keeps cash flow stable if many customers choose full payment.
- Works well for products with medium to high value.
How It Works #
1. Enable Deposit + Full Payment Mode #
In General Settings, choose the option to allow both deposits and full payments.
Customers will then see both options on the product page.
2. Configure Deposit Type #
Define the type of deposit:
- Percentage (%) of the product price.
- Fixed amount ($).
3. Product Page Options #
On the product page, customers will see two radio buttons:
- Pay Full Payment
- Pay Deposit
The store admin can also configure which option is selected by default.
4. Customer Checkout #
At checkout, the system calculates the chosen option:
- If Full Payment, the entire amount is charged.
- If Deposit, only the initial deposit is charged, and the balance is scheduled for later.
5. Order Confirmation #
Both admin and customer emails will reflect the choice:
- Deposit amount (if chosen).
- Balance pending (if applicable).
- Or confirmation of full payment.
Example #
- Product Price: $500
- Customer chooses Full Payment → $500 charged.
- Customer chooses Deposit (20%) → $100 charged upfront, $400 due later.
