<h2>Deposit and Partial Payment Plan Plugin – Allow Deposits and Flexible Installment Plans</h2>
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.
With rule-based payment schedules, automatic installment charging through supported Stripe and PayPal gateways, and 8 customizable frontend layouts, the plugin gives you full control over how partial payments are offered, displayed, and collected. Customers get the flexibility to pay over time, and you get predictable cash flow without manual follow-up.

<h2>Allow Customers to Pay a Deposit or Choose a Partial Payment Plan</h2>
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.
<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" />
<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" />
<h2>Set Global Payment Plans for Your Whole Store</h2>
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.
<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" />
<h2>Use One Payment Plan for the Whole Cart</h2>
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.
<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" />
<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" />
<h2>Create Rules to Control How Payment Plans Apply</h2>
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.
<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" />
<h2>Build Your Own Installment Schedule Step by Step</h2>
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%.
<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" />
<h2>Charge Future Installments Automatically</h2>
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.
<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" />
<h2>Send Reminders for Upcoming and Overdue Payments</h2>
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.
<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" />
<h2>Notify Customers and Admins Separately</h2>
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.
<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" />
<h2>Send Customized Emails</h2>
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.
<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" />
<h2>Pick from 8 Layouts to Show Payment Options</h2>
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.

<h2>Personalize the Payment Selector Template to Match Your Store</h2>
Use the Template Styler to change colors, fonts, borders, shapes, and shadows on the payment options display. Pick your main color, accent color, card background, and text colors, then preview the changes in real time so the payment selector blends right in with the rest of your store.
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006571575" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Personalize-the-Payment-Selector-Template-to-Match-Your-Store.png?w=896" alt="Personalize the Payment Selector Template to Match Your Store" width="896" height="498" />
<h2>Connect to Other Tools with Webhooks</h2>
Send real-time payment events to other apps and tools using webhooks. Add a webhook URL and an optional secret, and the partial payment plugin for WooCommerce will send JSON data for events like deposit paid, plan created, installment paid, installment due, reminder sent, plan completed, and installment failed. HMAC-SHA256 signing keeps every request secure.

Deposit and Partial Payment Plan

<h2>Invoice Payments — Smart, Controlled, and Automated</h2>
Give your customers the flexibility to order now and pay later while you stay in complete control of when invoice payment is available.
• Show or hide the invoice payment method based on user roles, specific customers, or guest users. 
• Restrict availability by country, state, city, or ZIP code. 
• Control access using cart totals, quantity limits, shipping methods, or selected products. 
• Collect Purchase Order (PO) numbers and optional notes directly at checkout. 
• Automatically generate branded PDF invoices and attach them to emails.
<h3>How It Works</h3>
Invoice Payment Method works in two simple layers — basic activation and optional rule-based control.
<ol start="1">
<li>Enable & Start Accepting Invoice Orders Simply enable the invoice payment method from WooCommerce settings, customize the title, description, and order status — and customers can immediately select “Pay by Invoice” at checkout. No complex setup required.</li>
<li>Optional Rule-Based Restrictions If needed, you can create rules to control when the invoice option appears. The system evaluates customer type, location, cart value, products, quantities, and shipping methods in real time to determine eligibility. If the conditions are met, the invoice option is displayed. If not, it remains hidden.</li>
<li>Automated Invoice Processing Once selected, the plugin captures PO numbers and optional notes, assigns the configured order status, generates a branded PDF invoice, and attaches it to customer and admin emails automatically. After configuration, everything runs instantly at checkout, whether you use simple activation or advanced restrictions.</li>
</ol>

<h3>General Settings</h3>
Quickly configure the checkout fields used with the invoice payment method. Enable a Purchase Order (PO) number field and allow customers to add a message for the admin when placing an order.
You can customize field labels, placeholders, and decide whether the PO number should be required or optional. These settings act as global defaults and can also be customized separately inside individual rules for more advanced control.
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006387920" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/invoice-payment-general-settings-1.png?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="587" />
<h3>PDF Invoice Settings</h3>
Automatically generate professional PDF invoices for orders placed using the invoice payment method. Choose from three built-in invoice templates, including Simple Classic, Modern Minimal, and Professional Bold.
You can further customize invoices with your company logo, invoice numbering prefix, company details, headings, colors, terms and conditions, and footer notes, ensuring every invoice reflects your brand while maintaining a clean professional layout.

<h4 class="ds-markdown-paragraph">Invoice Access Settings</h4>
Control how invoice PDFs are shared with customers and administrators. Automatically attach invoices to customer emails, include them in admin notification emails, and allow customers to download their invoices directly from the My Account orders page.
These options ensure invoices are always accessible while keeping the order workflow smooth and organized.
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006387969" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/invoice-payment-invoice-access.png?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="332" />
<h4 data-section-id="1or3co6">Flexible Invoice Payment Rules</h4>
Create multiple rules to control when the invoice payment method appears at checkout. Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually and assigned a priority to determine which rule should apply first when multiple conditions are met.
This allows store owners to tailor invoice payments for different business scenarios without modifying code.
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006387975" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/invoice-payment-rule.png?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="350" />
<h4 data-section-id="b6g0uj">Customer & Location Targeting</h4>
Control invoice payment availability based on user roles, specific customers, or guest users. You can also restrict access by country, state, city, or ZIP code, allowing invoice payments only in approved regions or for selected customer groups.
This makes it easy to offer invoice payments to trusted B2B customers or specific markets while keeping the option hidden from others.
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006388622" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/invoice-payment-location-rule.png?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="573" />
<h4>Order & Checkout Conditions</h4>
Define conditions based on cart total, quantity limits, shipping methods, products, categories, tags, or brands to determine when invoice payments should be available.
Rules can also override the global checkout field settings, allowing you to require PO numbers, enable customer messages, or apply different field behavior depending on the rule.
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006388628" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/invoice-payment-checkout-rule.png?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="573" />
<h3>Front-end View</h3>
The invoice payment method appears along with other payment methods on the front-end. 
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-18734006388707" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/invoice-payment-frontend.png?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="493" />
