How to Take Deposits on Shopify

Log into your Shopify account and access your website.

Go to the payments settings of your website.

In the Select Payment Options, click on the option that says ‘Split Payment’. Within the first payment option, you need to enter the value of the first payment for the customer. You can then select the payment method and then select the ‘Complete the Payment’.

Within the next stage, you need to enter the amount that the customer is going to pay and then select how they’re going to pay and the ‘Complete the Payment’ option.

When you’re done, then you can click on the ‘Done’ option.

When the customer makes a partial payment then the order they have has partial payment listed on the orders list. This allows you to see who has completed the order’s payment and who has not. This can be good if you’re waiting for payment before you release the finished product or service.

When the customer makes the final payment you can finally mark the payment as complete and then you can complete the fulfilment of the order (or mark it as completed).

There are numerous reasons why you might want to take partial payments. If you’ve got high ticket products, then you can use this option to get customers to commit to your products before completing the purchase later on. You might also want to have partial payments when you offer a service and would like the customer to make a payment before you start work.

There are other options if you’re looking to create payment plans for your business. For instance, you can use an app that can offer you the same functionality but can allow you to do this over just a few products/services.

The payment plans can also make the process more automated.

A deposit can also be used for you to accept payments from numerous payment sources (credit cards or different customers). This gives your customers more choice without making it more challenging. One of the apps that you might want to use is Split Partial Payments.

Another option is to install the Klarna app that allows your customers to have a pay now and pay later scheme on their website. It is easy to install and can help you convert more people on your website into customers.
