Stripe deposits & partial payments

Presentation

Stripe deposits & partial payments is a powerful PrestaShop module that allows you to collect deposits (down payments) at the time of order and request the remaining balance later. It integrates seamlessly with the Stripe payment gateway to ensure secure transactions.

Selling expensive or custom-made items can deter customers if they are required to pay the full amount immediately. This module automates the entire process, replacing the time-consuming and error-prone manual management of partial payments like checks or bank transfers.

Key highlights:

• Flexible Collection: Set deposits as a percentage or a fixed amount.
• Automated Tracking: Automatic email reminders for the remaining balance.
• Security: Secure payments powered by Stripe's infrastructure.
• User Experience: Total clarity for the customer regarding what they pay today and what is due later.

Features

Intelligent Deposit Rules

Define your partial payment strategy with high granularity using a priority system:

• Precise Targeting: Apply rules to specific Products, Categories, or globally to the entire shop.
• Payment Modes: Choose between Optional (customer chooses) or Mandatory (ideal for pre-orders).
• Priority: Product-level rules override Category rules, which in turn override Global rules.

Dashboard & Order Tracking

The Dashboard serves as your financial control tower for all deposit-related cash flow:

• Key Indicators: View total deposits collected, pending balances, and successful payments.
• Order Status: Track orders waiting for payment, pending balances, and overdue payments.
• Quick Actions: Resend payment links, regenerate expired links, or refund deposits via Stripe in one click.

Automation & Communication

The module handles all customer communication via customizable HTML templates:

• Available Templates: Deposit confirmation, balance reminders, overdue alerts, and final receipts.
• Dynamic Variables: Personalize messages using tags like {remaining_amount}, {due_date}, or {payment_link}.
• Multilingual Support: Edit texts for every language installed on your store.
