Questions people ask

How much can the deposit be?

You decide — a fixed amount or a percentage of the price. The customer sees exactly what's charged today and what's collected later.

When is the balance charged?

On the final-payment date you set. Shopify collects it automatically from the customer, so there's nothing for you to invoice.

Which products can use a deposit?

Any product you've set up for pre-order, backorder or made-to-order — the deposit is a payment option on those flows, per variant.

Does it run through Shopify checkout?

Yes. The deposit and balance are handled inside Shopify's native checkout — the customer never leaves your store's flow.
