- Minimum order value: only take a deposit on larger orders.

- Clear for customers: a "Balance due later" line in the cart and checkout (label editable), and a notice explaining the deposit.

常见问题:
How do I take a deposit in WooCommerce?
Enable deposits under WooCommerce → Settings → Deposit and enter a fixed amount or percentage. Customers then pay only the deposit at checkout.
Does the plugin charge the remaining balance automatically?
No. It records the balance due on the order. To collect it, create a new order for the balance under WooCommerce → Orders, set it to Pending payment, and send the customer the "Customer payment page" link, or invoice them another way.
Can the deposit be a percentage?
Yes. Choose "Percentage of the order" and enter a number such as 25.
Can I take a deposit only on some products?
Choose "Orders with a product from the categories below" and select the categories. If any product in the cart is in one of them, the deposit applies to the whole order.
How are taxes handled?
Tax on the products and shipping is charged in full with the deposit, and the balance line has no tax. A deposit cannot be smaller than the tax on the order, because WooCommerce does not let a negative line reduce the total below the tax; in that case the customer pays the tax amount.
Does it work with the block checkout?
Yes. The balance line appears in the Cart and Checkout blocks, and the deposit details are saved on orders placed through either checkout.
Can I take a partial payment in WooCommerce without a plugin?
Not at checkout. WooCommerce has no setting for it, so without a plugin you would create a separate order for each part payment by hand. This plugin takes the deposit at checkout and keeps the order value, deposit, and balance due together on one order.
Can customers choose between a deposit and paying in full?
Not in this version. When an order matches your rules (minimum order value and categories), the deposit applies automatically. Use the minimum order value or categories to decide which orders take a deposit.
Does it support installments or payment plans?
No. It takes one deposit at checkout and records one balance. Scheduled installments and automatic balance payments need custom development (see below).
Can I use it for a refundable security deposit, for example on rentals?
Not as a separate refundable charge. The deposit is part of the order price and the balance is what remains. A security deposit that is returned after a rental needs a different setup.
Can the customer pay the balance on delivery?
Yes, if you collect it that way. The plugin records the balance due on the order and shows it in the order emails, so you can collect it in cash or by card on delivery, or send a payment link from WooCommerce.
Will refunds work?
Yes. Refunds work as usual against the amount the customer paid, which is the deposit.
What happened to "Force Cart to Specific Amount"?
Version 1.0 always reduced the cart to exactly 1 with an "Adjustment" line. Version 2.0 replaces it with configurable deposits and is off until you enable it.
