Plugnition Deposits for WooCommerce lets you accept partial payments for products, so customers can place an order by paying a deposit now and the remaining balance later. It is a practical, lightweight solution for stores that sell high-value items, custom products, made-to-order goods, pre-orders, or anything that benefits from a more flexible payment flow.

Instead of forcing customers to pay the full amount upfront, you can enable deposits on selected products and define either a fixed deposit amount or a percentage-based deposit. The plugin automatically adjusts the initial checkout total, stores the remaining balance on the order, and gives customers a simple way to pay the rest later from their account.

Why use deposits?

Deposits can help reduce purchase hesitation, improve conversions on expensive products, and make it easier for customers to commit to an order. This is especially useful for businesses that sell custom-built products, wholesale items, event-related products, pre-orders, or goods that require confirmation before final payment.

Simple deposit setup

The plugin is designed to be easy to configure. On each product, you can enable deposits and choose how the deposit should be calculated. For variable products, you can configure each variation separately. This gives you flexibility without adding unnecessary complexity.

Smooth customer experience

When a product with deposits enabled is purchased, the customer pays only the deposit at checkout. The plugin stores the unpaid balance and displays it clearly in the order details. Customers can then log into their account, open the dedicated balance payment area, and generate a payable balance order for the remaining amount.

This creates a straightforward flow that is easy for customers to understand and easy for store owners to manage.

Useful for many types of stores

Made-to-order or custom products
Pre-order items
High-ticket products
B2B or wholesale orders
Products that require confirmation before final payment
Stores that want more flexible payment options without a bloated plugin

Reminder emails and due dates

To help you collect outstanding balances, the plugin includes balance due dates and reminder emails. You can define how many days after purchase the remaining balance should be due, and the plugin can send reminder emails for unpaid balances. There is also a manual reminder option in the admin area when you want to follow up yourself.

Clear admin visibility

Order admins can quickly see deposit-related details directly in the order view, including how much was paid upfront, how much remains outstanding, and whether a balance payment order has been created. This helps your team manage partially paid orders more confidently.
