Yes. When your customer pays an invoice online, they choose how much to pay. There's nothing to switch on: it works with Stripe, PayPal and Payoneer once online payments are set up.
How your customer pays part of an invoice
Your customer opens the online invoice and clicks Pay Now.
In the popup, they change the Payment Amount.
It starts at the full amount due. It can be lower, but not higher than the amount due.
They choose a payment method and pay.
What happens next
- The payment is recorded and applied to the invoice, and the invoice status changes to Partially Paid. The payment also appears under Invoices › Payments, with the provider as its Payment Source.
- The online invoice shows the new Amount Due. Your customer can use Pay Now again to pay the rest.
- A Stripe bank debit shows on the invoice as a payment In Progress until it clears.
- To follow up, filter the Invoices list by Partially Paid.
There's no setting to make customers pay the full amount. If you need it in one payment, say so in the invoice notes.
Your invoice template can rename the popup's labels, such as Payment Amount, in its Layout tab. So your customer may see different words.
Other ways to take part payments
- Record Payment on an invoice accepts less than the balance too, for money you receive another way.
- With Auto Charge, you can charge part of an invoice to a customer's saved card.
- To take a deposit before the work starts, see advance payments.
