Full Payment or Deposit Option | Bright Plugins Docs

1 min read Updated April 20, 2026 By the Bright Plugins team

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.

Notes#

  • In the Free version, you can allow customers to choose between deposit and full payment globally or per product.
  • In the Pro version, you also get:
    • Default selection configuration.
    • Customizable labels for “Pay Full” and “Pay Deposit.”
    • Reminder emails and advanced balance management.
