YITH Deposits and Down Payments
This WooCommerce plugin by YITH lets customers pay part of an order up front and settle the remaining balance later. It suits stores that sell high-value products, special orders or bookable services, where asking for the full amount at checkout can hold buyers back.

What it does
Some purchases are hard to pay for all at once, such as custom-tailored clothing, event rentals or personalized services. YITH Deposits and Down Payments adds a deposit option to your WooCommerce store so customers can reserve an item or service with a partial payment. You decide whether the deposit is a fixed amount or a percentage of the price, and whether it is optional or required. Rules can apply across the whole store or only to chosen products, categories and variations.
After the deposit is paid, you control how the balance is handled. You can set the balance to be due on a fixed calendar date or within a set period after the deposit. The plugin can create balance orders in WooCommerce automatically, or you can collect the remaining amount manually offline, which helps stores that also take payments in person. It also works with YITH Booking and Appointment, so appointments, hotel stays and other bookings can be secured with a deposit, with balance reminders set automatically.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores selling high-value or custom-made products
- Event rental and personalized service businesses
- Booking sites using YITH Booking and Appointment
Features
Set each deposit as a fixed amount or as a percentage of the product price, depending on how you price your items.
Let customers choose whether to pay a deposit, or require a deposit for certain products so the payment flow matches your sales process.
Apply different deposit requirements to specific products or whole categories, so higher-value items can carry their own payment terms.
Give individual product variations their own deposit rules and amounts, which is useful when options within one product differ a lot in price.
Decide when the remaining balance must be paid, either by a fixed calendar date or within a set number of days after the deposit.
Have WooCommerce create balance orders automatically, or handle the remaining payment manually offline for stores that mix online and in-person sales.
Turn deposits on for your entire store, or limit them to selected products and categories where partial payment makes sense.
Collect deposits for appointments, hotel stays and other bookings through YITH Booking and Appointment, with balance payment reminders set automatically.

Questions about YITH Deposits and Down Payments
Does this plugin work without WooCommerce?
No. It is a WooCommerce extension, so you need WooCommerce running on your site. The deposit options are added to your WooCommerce products and checkout, and balance orders are created inside WooCommerce.
Can I require a deposit on some products and leave others at full price?
Yes. You can enable deposits across the whole store or only on selected products and categories. For each case you can also decide whether the deposit is optional for the customer or mandatory, and variations can have their own rules.
How do customers pay the remaining balance?
You choose the approach. The plugin can create balance orders in WooCommerce automatically, or you can collect the balance manually offline. The due date can be a fixed calendar date or a set period after the deposit was paid.
Can I take deposits for appointments or hotel stays?
Yes, when used with YITH Booking and Appointment. Customers can reserve a booking with a deposit, and reminders for the balance payment are set automatically, so the rest is collected on a schedule that suits both sides.
