Partial Payment

Is it possible for Fluent Cart to accept partial payments? Then the website owner collects the balance owing in a separate transaction outside of fluent cart?

We sell an high end / expensive product and would only like the customer to pay say $500 on the website and the remaining balance at a later date.

like deposits? Quite a few of us have requested this as well :)

Fiona Bryce - Ya a deposit function would work.

What about charging the signal of $500, and then creating a manual order for the rest?

I guess you can use a memo on the first order for specifying the Product details.

Would love to hear if that works or if you were referring to something else! πŸ˜„

Jorge de los ReyesΒ What do you mean by "charging the signal"?

Martin LangenΒ By β€œcharging the signal,” I meant charging the deposit, the initial $500 booking payment.

So the flow would be:

  1. Customer pays the $500 deposit on the site.
  2. You then create a manual order in FluentCart for the remaining balance and collect it later (offline or via a separate link).

That’s what I was referring to! πŸ˜„
