Hi there, @Kev520. I'm chiming in to help you apply a 50% down payment for an invoice in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

In QBO, there are two ways you can apply for a 50% down payment for an invoice. The first option is to create a deposit and apply it to the invoice. It will be deducted from the total amount of your customer’s invoice. Here's how:

 

  1. Let's begin with turning on the Deposit field in the Settings menu in the Account and settings.
  2. Go to Sales page.
  3. Next, navigate to the Sales form content section and click Edit.
  4. Then, turn on Deposit.
  5. Select Save, then click Done.

 

After that, open the invoice and enter the 50% down payment in the Deposit field.

 

For more details, read this link: Add a deposit to an invoice in QuickBooks Online.

 

On the other hand, you can also use the Progress Invoice feature to split an estimate into as many invoices as you need. However, since you already converted it to an invoice, you can recreate it and perform the process. For reference, check out this article: Set up and send progress invoices in QuickBooks Online.

 

Once everything is fine, you're next step is to record your customer payments.
