<h2><b>Deposit and Partial Payment Plan Plugin – Allow Deposits and Flexible Installment Plans</b></h2>
<p>High upfront costs are one of the biggest reasons customers abandon their carts, especially on higher-priced products. The Deposit and Partial Payment Plan plugin solves this by letting your WooCommerce store accept a deposit at checkout and collect the remaining balance through structured installment plans.</p>

<h2><b>Allow Customers to Pay a Deposit or Choose a Partial Payment Plan</b></h2>
<p>The Deposit and Partial Payment Plugin for WooCommerce lets your customers pay a deposit now and the rest later in installments. Shoppers can get their products without paying the full price upfront, which makes bigger purchases easier and helps you close more sales.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006571578" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Allow-Customers-to-Pay-a-Deposit-or-Choose-a-Partial-Payment-Plan.png?w=896" alt="Allow Customers to Pay a Deposit or Choose a Partial Payment Plan" width="896" height="417" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006571588" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Allow-Customers-to-Pay-a-Deposit-or-Choose-a-Partial-Payment.png?w=896" alt="Allow Customers to Pay a Deposit or Choose a Partial Payment" width="896" height="533" /></p>
<h2><b>Set Global Payment Plans for Your Whole Store</b></h2>
<p>Pick one or more payment plans that apply to every product by default. If no specific rule is set for a product, the default plan kicks in automatically, so you never have to worry about a product missing a payment option. This makes the deposit plugin for WooCommerce quick to set up across your entire store, even if you sell hundreds of products.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006571590" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Set-Global-Payment-Plans-for-Your-Whole-Store.png?w=896" alt="Set Global Payment Plans for Your Whole Store" width="896" height="475" /></p>
<h2><b>Use One Payment Plan for the Whole Cart</b></h2>
<p>Turn on cart-level financing to let customers use a single payment plan for their full order instead of choosing one per product. Checkout stays simple, and shoppers get one clear installment schedule for everything in their cart.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006571583" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Use-One-Payment-Plan-for-the-Whole-Cart.png?w=896" alt="Use One Payment Plan for the Whole Cart" width="896" height="508" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006571582" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Use-One-Payment-Plan-for-a-Whole-Cart.png?w=896" alt="Use One Payment Plan for a Whole Cart" width="896" height="854" /></p>
<h2><b>Create Rules to Control How Payment Plans Apply</b></h2>
<p>Build rules to decide which payment plans show up and where. Target rules by product, category, tag, brand, user role, or specific customers. You can also set a priority for each rule so more specific ones run first. The deposit and partial payment plugin for WooCommerce gives you full control over who sees which plan.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006571591" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Create-Rules-to-Control-How-Payment-Plans-Apply.png?w=872" alt="Create Rules to Control How Payment Plans Apply" width="872" height="1216" /></p>
<h2><b>Build Your Own Installment Schedule Step by Step</b></h2>
<p>Use the payment plan schedule builder to create payment plans the way you want. Add as many payment steps as you need, set each one as a fixed amount or a percentage of the order, and choose how many days, weeks, or months apart they should be charged. A progress bar shows how much of the order is covered as you build, so the plan always adds up to 100%.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006571589" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Build-Your-Own-Installment-Schedule-Step-by-Step.png?w=876" alt="Build Your Own Installment Schedule Step by Step" width="876" height="679" /></p>
<h2><b>Charge Future Installments Automatically</b></h2>
<p>Turn on auto-charge to collect future installments from the customer’s saved payment method without any manual work. The partial payment plugin for WooCommerce supports automatic charging through Payment Plugins for Stripe WooCommerce and Payment Plugins for PayPal WooCommerce. You can also set how many times a failed payment should be retried before it is marked as failed.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006571587" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Charge-Future-Installments-Automatically.png?w=896" alt="Charge Future Installments Automatically" width="896" height="239" /></p>
<h2><b>Send Reminders for Upcoming and Overdue Payments</b></h2>
<p>Keep customers in the loop with automatic email reminders. The plugin can send emails when a plan is created, when a payment goes through, when one fails, and when an installment is due. Fewer missed payments, less back-and-forth.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006571581" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Send-Reminders-for-Upcoming-and-Overdue-Payments.png?w=886" alt="Send Reminders for Upcoming and Overdue Payments" width="886" height="810" /></p>
<h2><b>Notify Customers and Admins Separately</b></h2>
<p>Set up emails for customers and admins as you need them. Customers get notified when their plan is created, when a payment succeeds, when one fails, or when a reminder is due. Admins can get alerts for new plans and failed payments. You can add multiple admin emails, pick a template for each one, and send test emails to make sure everything works.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006571579" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Notify-Customers-and-Admins-Separately.png?w=832" alt="Notify Customers and Admins Separately" width="832" height="803" /></p>
<h2><b>Send Customized Emails</b></h2>
<p>Edit the subject and body of every email and add details like customer name, order ID, installment amount, due date, and a direct pay link using simple placeholders such as {customer_name}, {order_id}, and {installment_amount}. Default templates are included for every event, so you can use them as-is or change them to match your brand.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006571585" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Send-Customized-Emails.png?w=896" alt="Send Customized Emails" width="896" height="373" /></p>
<h2><b>Pick from 8 Layouts to Show Payment Options</b></h2>
<p>Choose how payment options look on your product, cart, and checkout pages. The deposit and partial payment plugin for WooCommerce comes with 8 ready-made layouts: Classic, Table, List, Grid, Compact, Vertical, Modern V2, and High Contrast. You can preview each layout on the backend before saving the changes.</p>
