What are split and advance payments?
Split payment lets a customer pay one bill with more than one method. When the first method does not cover the bill, the next one takes the rest, in the order you set.
Advance payment takes part of a big bill now and the rest later, for high-value orders and long subscriptions. Every part is recorded against the order.
What you can do with split and advance payments
One checkout, as many ways to pay as the bill needs.
How split and advance payments work
Split at checkout, or spread a big bill over time.
Set the payment order
Choose what pays first: points, wallet, pay later, then the gateway.
The customer checks out
The wallet or points pay what they hold, and Wallet or card pays the rest.
Every part is recorded
The order shows each method and amount.
Ask for an advance
On a big order, send a link for the advance, or let an accepted quote set it.
Collect the balance
Send a link for the balance, and reminders follow if it is late.
What the customer sees, and what you set
One payment on one side, every part on record on the other.
The customer side
One bill, the wallet already applied, one button to pay the rest.
The owner side
Each part against the order, and what is still due.
