It's built for stores that lose money to unclaimed or refused COD parcels: a small non-refundable deposit filters out low-intent orders while keeping COD as the primary payment experience your customers already trust.<\/p>\n\n
The plugin doesn't process any payments itself. Instead, a simple \"Choose how to pay\" toggle appears directly above your normal list of payment methods at checkout, letting the customer pick \"pay the deposit + COD\" or \"pay the full total online now.\" They then place the order through whichever of your existing<\/strong> active gateways \u2014 bKash, Nagad, SSLCommerz, Stripe, or anything else you already have configured \u2014 and that gateway charges exactly the resolved amount, deposit or full. There's no extra gateway added to your payment method list and no separate picker page to redirect through; nothing about your existing payment setup changes, this plugin just sits alongside it.<\/p>\n\nKey features<\/h4>\n\n\n- One flat deposit per cart.<\/strong> If a cart has products with different deposit amounts, only the single highest amount is charged \u2014 never summed, never multiplied by quantity.<\/li>\n
- Global default + per-product overrides.<\/strong> Set one site-wide deposit amount, then override it for individual products, or per-variation on variable products.<\/li>\n
- Customer choice at checkout.<\/strong> Customers can switch between \"pay the deposit + COD\" and \"pay the full total online now\" with a simple toggle.<\/li>\n
- Minimum-order threshold.<\/strong> Below your configured deposit amount, the plugin automatically requires full online payment instead of a confusing partial split.<\/li>\n
- Gateway-agnostic.<\/strong> Choose which of your already-active payment gateways are allowed to collect the deposit. Cash on Delivery itself is never used for the deposit \u2014 only for the remainder.<\/li>\n
- Cart, checkout, product page, admin, and email visibility.<\/strong> The deposit\/remainder split is shown consistently everywhere: cart totals, checkout order review, a deposit badge on the single product page, an order-list column and metabox in wp-admin, and appended rows in every WooCommerce order email.<\/li>\n
- High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) compatible.<\/strong> All order data is read and written through core WC_Order methods.<\/li>\n
- Translation-ready<\/strong> and safe to uninstall cleanly (data removal is opt-in, off by default).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
How it works<\/h4>\n\n\n- A customer adds products to their cart. The applicable deposit (highest per-product amount in the cart) is shown on the cart page and at checkout.<\/li>\n
- At checkout, a \"Choose how to pay\" toggle appears directly above your normal list of payment methods, letting them pick \"Pay Deposit + COD\" or \"Pay Full Amount Online Now.\"<\/li>\n
- They place the order as usual through whichever of your eligible gateways they choose (bKash, Nagad, SSLCommerz, etc.) \u2014 that gateway charges exactly the resolved amount, deposit or full, with no redirect and no extra picker page.<\/li>\n
- The order is saved with its full, real total and the deposit\/remainder breakdown recorded against it. The remaining balance stays due on delivery as normal, and order status itself is left entirely to whichever gateway actually processed the payment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
Requirements<\/h4>\n\n\n- WooCommerce, active and up to date.<\/li>\n
- At least one other active payment gateway (bKash, Nagad, SSLCommerz, Stripe, PayPal, etc.) configured to collect the deposit \u2014 this plugin does not process payments on its own.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
\n- Upload the plugin files to
\/wp-content\/plugins\/aawahid-simple-deposits-for-woocommerce<\/code>, or install the plugin through the WordPress \"Plugins\" screen directly.<\/li>\n- Activate the plugin through the \"Plugins\" screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n
- Go to WooCommerce \u2192 Settings \u2192 Deposits<\/strong> to set your global deposit amount and notice text, then switch to the Eligible Gateways<\/strong> section to choose which of your existing payment gateways are allowed to collect it.<\/li>\n
- That's it \u2014 once at least one gateway is marked eligible, the \"Choose how to pay\" toggle appears automatically above the payment method list at checkout. There's no separate gateway to enable under WooCommerce \u2192 Settings \u2192 Payments.<\/li>\n
- Optionally, open any product's edit screen to set a deposit amount specific to that product (or each variation, for variable products), overriding the site-wide default.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
\nDoes this plugin process payments itself?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. A \"Choose how to pay\" toggle above your normal payment methods lets the customer pick deposit or full payment, then whichever gateway they select from your existing list charges exactly that amount directly \u2014 there's no hand-off or redirect page. You'll need at least one other online payment gateway active for this plugin to have anywhere to send the deposit.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What happens if a cart has multiple products with different deposit amounts?<\/h3><\/dt>\nOnly the single highest deposit amount in the cart is charged, as one flat amount for the whole order \u2014 never the sum of each product's deposit, and never multiplied by quantity.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I let customers pay the full amount online instead of a deposit?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. A toggle rendered above the payment method list at checkout lets the customer choose between \"pay the deposit now + COD\" or \"pay the full order total online now.\"<\/p><\/dd>\n
What happens on small orders?<\/h3><\/dt>\nIf the cart total is below your configured global deposit amount, the plugin automatically requires the full order total to be paid online instead of a partial split \u2014 there's no minimum-order enforcement needed on your end.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is this compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS)?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. All order reads and writes go through WooCommerce's own order object methods, never raw post meta, so it works correctly whether HPOS is enabled or not.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does uninstalling the plugin delete my settings and data?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNot unless you explicitly opt in. There's a \"Remove Data on Uninstall\" setting under WooCommerce \u2192 Settings \u2192 Deposits, off by default, so deactivating or even deleting the plugin never touches your configured amounts unless you've turned that setting on.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does this work with bKash, Nagad, or SSLCommerz specifically?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes, as with any other WooCommerce payment gateway you already have installed and active \u2014 this plugin doesn't hardcode support for any specific gateway, it works with whichever ones you mark as eligible in the settings.<\/p><\/dd>\n
