Question

Part payment with paypal

We are currently considering accepting payments through PayPal and Quickbooks, but can't seem to find a straight answer to this question - Will we be able to accept part payment against one invoice?

 

For example, a customer buys a product costing £1,000. A 25% deposit is required to secure the product, with the balance payment falling due at a later date. So, can we send out one invoice for £1,000, which the customer then pays £250 against, receives a receipted copy stating that this deposit has been paid, and then pays the remaining balance of £750 against that same invoice when it falls due?

Hi Marky3, thanks for joining the Community

 

Please note that is only possible to set one due date on the invoice and the total balance of the invoice will show as the Due amount when the customer accepts the payment online. 

 

As an alternative, you can send the initial invoice for the deposit (including further details of the transaction in the Description field if desired). Once the customer has paid the deposit, you can edit the invoice to include the remaining balance and record the deposit payment against this (select Receive payment on the invoice and enter the partial payment amount). The payment can then be used to send as a receipt (select Save and Send on the Receive Payment screen).
