One real order with correct tax, inventory and reporting — no fake "50% Deposit" products
Buyers get a deposit link right after checkout, and you send the balance link when the order is ready
Buyers accept your deposit terms before paying, recorded with a timestamped copy of the exact wording shown
Balance tracking and fulfillment warnings so you never ship a high-ticket order with money still owed
Selling something expensive? Asking for the full amount upfront costs you sales. Starting work for free costs you money.
Order Deposits lets customers pay a deposit and the balance before you ship — on one real order, with your books intact.
HOW IT WORKS
Your customer shops normally and picks your deposit option at checkout. The full order is recorded with correct price, tax, shipping and inventory, marked partly paid. The buyer pays the deposit right away, and you send a balance link when the order is ready. No spreadsheets, no placeholder products, no manual card entry. Some trades call this a down payment — the mechanics are the same.
BUILT FOR
Furniture and cabinetry, custom fabrication, made-to-order goods, wedding and event vendors, bakers, artists, contractors and equipment sellers.
SETUP
Two one-time steps in your dashboard: enable a manual payment method named for deposits, and publish a Payment Request Page. The app walks you through both.
GOOD TO KNOW
This is a deposit tool, not a lending or pay-later product. Goods are held until paid in full. Deposits are calculated on the merchandise subtotal, so the amount shown before checkout is the amount charged.
