Installation

Install Depositline from your purchase, activate the license and take your first deposit in a few minutes.

Depositline comes as a zip file with your purchase from extendiment.com.

Install the plugin

  1. Make sure WooCommerce is installed and active. Depositline won't activate without it.
  2. Download depositline.zip from your purchase email or your account on extendiment.com.
  3. Go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin, choose the zip, then Install Now and Activate.
  4. Enter your license key under Depositline on the Plugins screen, so updates arrive (see Licenses and updates).

Activating adds WooCommerce → Depositline, the Partially paid order status and deposit fields on products, variations and product categories. Nothing changes for your customers yet: the store-wide deposit starts as No deposit, so no product takes one until you set it up.

Note

If another deposits plugin is active (WooCommerce Deposits, Deposits & Partial Payments for WooCommerce by Acowebs or by Codeixer (Bayna), or YITH WooCommerce Deposits / Down Payments), Depositline pauses and shows a notice. Deactivate the other plugin first. Coming from WooCommerce Deposits (by WooCommerce or by Webtomizer), Depositline can then import its product settings and open balances: see Importing from another deposits plugin.

Take your first deposit

  1. Go to WooCommerce → Depositline. There's also a Settings link under Depositline on the Plugins screen.
  2. Check that Enable has Take deposits at checkout ticked.
  3. Set Store-wide deposit to Deposit, or pay in full at checkout, and Deposit amount to, say, 25%.
  4. Click Save Changes.
  5. Open a product in your shop: it says "Pay a 25% deposit now and the rest later. You can also pay in full at checkout." Add it to the cart and go to the checkout.

The checkout shows a Balance, paid later line that takes the rest off the total, and a Payment choice between a deposit and paying in full.

The Checkout block: choose a deposit or pay in full, see what's paid now and later, and have the balance charged to a saved card when it's due.

Tip

To take deposits on just a few products, leave Store-wide deposit on No deposit and set the deposit on those products' General tab, or on their category, instead.
