Overview
K1 Pre-Order Manager supports partial payments (deposits) so merchants can collect a percentage or fixed amount upfront and charge the remaining balance later.
Setting Up Partial Payments
How It Works for Customers
When a customer adds a pre-order product to their cart:
- The cart displays the deposit amount and the remaining balance
- At checkout, only the deposit is charged
- The remaining balance is invoiced when the product is ready to ship
Managing Outstanding Balances
You can track and manage all partial payment orders from the Orders tab:
- View deposit and balance amounts per order
- Send balance payment invoices manually or automatically
- Track payment completion status
Tip: Use the Default Payment Option setting at the rule level to control whether new pre-order items default to full payment or deposit.
