Partial Payments Extension for Magento 2 by eWave

There are situations when online shoppers browse a website, find a product they want to buy, but don’t have enough money on their card to pay for the purchase at once.

With the extension, it is possible to pay for placed orders partly both from the customer account area and admin side. As a store owner, you decide whether to allow partial payments on your storefront. When creating an order from the backend, admin users can specify any amount that they want to be paid initially, as well as generate an invoice with an appropriate sum. If necessary, you can disable a partial payment option for the first order placed by a customer, so that this method will become available only after successful order processing. Besides, it is possible to create invoices with a zero sum, meaning that no money will be charged with the first payment.

Furthermore, the Magento 2 partial payment module allows sending emails to customers, notifying them about the remaining amount to be paid for their purchased items. It is possible to create custom templates for email notifications with outstanding invoices. Store admins can send alerts on the unpaid sum with one button click from the backend panel.

If enabled for the frontend, your website visitors will see partial payment among other available payment methods on the checkout page. The eWave extension supports all standard Magento 2 payment methods, including Braintree PayPal and Braintree Credit Card. This way, you provide customers with flexible options to pay for ordered products.

After placing an order using the partial payment method, customers will be able to view these orders in their personal accounts and enter the sum they want to pay first. Moreover, the extension enables frontend users to make one payment for a few orders at the same time.

Now, let’s proceed to the backend section of the Magento 2 partial payment module review.

Backend

The general settings of the Partial Payments extension are available under Stores -> Settings -> Configuration -> Ewave Extensions -> Partial Payment.
