Partial Payments support on the Orders API

/in ,

What’s New

  • Businesses can now collect partial payments from their customers at checkouts that support Dynamic Pricing through the Orders API.
  • Similar to Invoices, a ‘Collect’ call-to-action (CTA) will be visible on the Order Details page for partially paid orders.
  • For example, if someone books a calendar appointment for a haircut costing £100, they can pay £20 as an advance for the booking. The remaining £80 can then be collected either manually or via the customer’s card on file/new card when they arrive at the salon.
  • This API modification will be accessible to all checkouts, allowing them to build diverse use cases where partial payments are required.
  • Initially, this will be enabled for Calendar appointments, with support for other categories coming in the future.
  • Currently, this feature is only applicable to one-time products, not subscription products.

What’s Next?

Partial payments will become available on the front end via Calendars once the Orders API implementation goes live.
