Woocommerce Deposit & Partial Payments

So, I just wanted to follow-up on this. I didn’t find a precise solution, but there are a few alternatives. One of those, Subscriptions, was suggested by a WooCommerce support associate, who was very friendly and helpful.

First, the most straight forward solution would be if WooCommerce was able to capture the payment via their Deposits extension. At this time, it’s in the works without an ETA. Other than that, I discovered three alternatives:

(1) Pre-Orders: Capture the customer info and, if the customer cancels, adjust the price prior to final processing. The adjustment-processing would reflect the “non-refundable” deposit. The downside, it doesn’t charge for our “non-refundable” deposit upfront.

(2) Subscriptions: Set-up subscriptions for two payments. The first as the deposit and the second as the final payment. The downside, customers can only purchase one product at at time.

(3) Depostits: Charge upfront and then manually process the final payment via invpice or another request. The downside, it’s less automated and depends on the customer following-up.

That’s it for now.

Hi Nirgrantha, thanks for asking and checking in. I didn’t find a solution, unfortunately. If you do come up with something, please feel free to follow-up!
