Once you successfully install and configure the extension with your Magento setup, you will be provided with the options to manage partial payment for each product. You will be able to see the new tab called Partial Payment Information. By default, partial payment option is disabled for all products. However, the admin can manually enable the products for which enabling is required. If you want to enable partial payment for all products, you can also use mass action to change this attribute value for all the products. - Enable: Allow Partial Payment for particular product.
- Initial Payment Amount: This would be the first installment that the customer would pay as partial payment. This amount would be charged at time of checkout as upfront. The remainder amount would be divided into equal parts by the number of remaining installments.
- Installment setting
- No. of Installments: This is number of installments that can be set for a particular product. First time payment would be consider as first payment.
- Additional Fee type: This can be percentage/fix amount you add to next filed.
- Additional Fee: This would be additional charge to user partial payment options. We can consider it as charges/fees to use the Partial Payment option.
Along with each option, there is a check box called “Use Config Settings”. While this check box is checked, the related particular values will be used from the admin configuration settings for partial payment.

- Admin can make payment of installment.
- Update the payment status.
Send installment schedule: If customer requests the installment schedule, then the admin can send the admin schedule to customer. This feature sends an email to the customer with all required details for the installment, due dates, and paid installment status. Send reminder for installment:ThisExtensionallows us to send a reminder email before a pre-decided number of days defended by the admin from admin configuration. Still in some case, if a customer has not paid a particular installment, the admin would require to send a reminder for the particular installment. This email will have installment schedule with the highlighted installment for which the admin is sending a reminder. Update Payment Status: With some of the payment methods, the admin has to confirm the payment manually. This especially applies to payment methods such as check / Money order, Cash on Delivery, and Credit Card. Some times with PayPal Website Payments Standard, we require to require to confirm if server has received the IPN notifications or not, even if the client has paid for it. In such a scenario, the admin can confirm the payment form here. Make Payment for installation: This option allows the customer to make the payment for the installment via all supported payment methods as shown in the above screenshot. When the installment is paid and payment is confirmed, (whether the installment is paid by the customer or keyed in by the admin), the particular order will get updated with the installment amount. |
