Have you ever needed to split a payment in WooCommerce? Maybe you’re selling a service that requires a deposit up front, and the balance to be paid later. Or maybe you’re selling a product that needs to be shipped in two separate shipments and you want the customer to pay for each shipment separately. Whatever the reason, there are times when you need to split a payment in WooCommerce.
In this article, we’ll show you how to split a payment in WooCommerce. We’ll cover two methods: using the WooCommerce Deposits extension and using the WooCommerce Subscriptions extension. We’ll also show you how to do it without any extensions at all, though this method is a bit more complex.
Let’s get started!
Method 1: Use the WooCommerce Deposits Extension
The first method we’ll cover is using the WooCommerce Deposits extension. This extension is designed specifically for taking deposits, so it’s a perfect fit for our needs. Once you install and activate the extension, follow these steps:
- Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Deposits. You’ll see a list of options here that you can use to configure how deposits work on your site.
- Check the box next to “Enable deposits? “
- In the “Deposit type” dropdown, select “Percentage”. This will let you specify what percentage of the total price should be paid as a deposit.
- In the “Default deposit amount” field, enter the percentage of the total price that should be paid as a deposit. For example, if you want the customer to pay a 50% deposit, enter “50” here.
- Scroll down and click on the “Save changes” button.
