<p>NoShow Deposit Payments connects Contact Form 7 with Stripe so you can collect a deposit after a form submission instead of charging the full amount upfront.</p>
<p>The plugin lets you choose a Contact Form 7 form, map a service/price field, redirect the customer to Stripe Checkout, and store completed payments in WordPress for later review.</p>
<p>It is designed for service businesses — consultations, beauty appointments, coaching sessions, and any workflow where you want to secure a reservation with a partial payment.</p>
<p><strong>This plugin requires Contact Form 7.</strong> If CF7 is not installed and active, the plugin will display an admin notice reminding you to install it. The deposit flow will not trigger until CF7 is active.</p>
<h4>Core Features (Free)</h4>
<ul>
<li>Collect a configurable deposit percentage via Stripe after Contact Form 7 submission.</li>
<li>Choose which CF7 form triggers the deposit flow.</li>
<li>Map a service/price field to a pricing list you control.</li>
<li>Redirect customers to Stripe Checkout after a valid submission.</li>
<li>Store every completed payment in a searchable WordPress payments log.</li>
<li>Send branded confirmation emails to customers and admin notifications.</li>
<li>Optional SMTP configuration for improved email deliverability.</li>
<li>Stripe webhook support — payments are confirmed asynchronously.</li>
<li>Meeting date/time detection for booking-based workflows.</li>
<li>Refund payments directly from the WordPress admin (within the refund window).</li>
<li>Configurable refund cutoff — set how many hours before the meeting refunds are allowed.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Pro Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Slot booking system</strong> — create recurring weekly time slots with capacity control.</li>
<li><strong>Double-booking prevention</strong> — slots are reserved at checkout and confirmed on payment, so the same slot can never be booked twice.</li>
<li><strong>Slot management calendar</strong> — view, block, and manually book slots from the WordPress admin.</li>
<li><strong>Analytics dashboard</strong> — revenue charts, booking trends, and payment summaries.</li>
<li><strong>Priority email support.</strong></li>
</ul>

<p>Reduce fake orders and return rates (RTO) by collecting a small deposit payment upfront for Cash on Delivery (COD) orders.</p>
<p><strong>Lexiata Secure COD</strong> allows you to charge a fixed amount or a percentage of the total order value as an advance payment.</p>
<p>The customer pays the deposit online using any other payment gateway (Card, Bank Transfer, etc.), and the remaining balance is automatically calculated and shown as the “Amount to Pay to Courier”.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Partial Payment for COD:</strong> Collect a deposit and let customers pay the rest on delivery.</li>
<li><strong>Flexible Deposit Amount:</strong> Set a Fixed Amount (e.g., 250 LKR) or a Percentage (e.g., 10%).</li>
<li><strong>Shipping Method Control:</strong> Enable the partial COD option only for specific shipping methods (e.g., Flat Rate).</li>
<li><strong>Gateway Restriction:</strong> Restrict which payment gateways can be used to pay the deposit (e.g., allow only Card Payments for the deposit).</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Calculation:</strong> Automatically adds a negative fee to the cart to deduct the balance, showing the correct total to pay now.</li>
<li><strong>Clear Instructions:</strong> Display custom instructions on the Thank You page and Customer Emails.</li>
<li><strong>Courier Balance Display:</strong> Clearly shows “Amount to Pay to Courier” in emails and order details to avoid confusion.</li>
<li><strong>Professional UI:</strong> Clean and professional admin settings and frontend notices.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How it Works</h3>
<ol>
<li>Customer selects “Cash On Delivery (Advance Payment)” at checkout.</li>
<li>The system calculates the deposit amount required.</li>
<li>The balance amount is deducted from the “Total to Pay Now”.</li>
<li>Customer pays the deposit online.</li>
<li>The invoice and email show the remaining balance to be paid to the courier.</li>
</ol>
