Invoice/Quote Idea - Deposit/partial payment

johnny

I see what your saying now with Stripe not allowing the client to put a custom amount in. We don't do down payments so it must of been over looked.

If we made it so the client could enter a custom amount would that suffice?

I agree I think a client setting for enabling and disabling Online Pay per client would be a wise move.

johnny Yes those suggestions would be perfect!

I wrote the integration with Stripe specifically to only allow full invoice payment but can't remember if there was a reason why.

Enabling/disabling the online pay per client would be a great addition!

Is there an option for having techs/admins manually adding a "deposit amount" area during quoting/invoicing? We usually require full payment up front however, some cases are a more delicate than others.

Thanks 🙂

This will for sure add back end complexity. I really think the best solution for now if a down payment is required is to use separate invoices for example you have the original invoice then the down payment invoice and in the Description you can say Down payment for Invoice #XXX.

At some point this would be nice, but at the same time we also don't want to over complicate the back end code.

If anyone is willing to take a stab at this and issue a pull Request: see here for Contributing to ITFlow:

As the title says it.. it would be great if you can set an amount either fixed or percentage

If option is checked then the customer would have to pay deposit to accept the quote and start the job

Maybe the button at the bottom of the quote would say 'Pay & Accept' ?

Not a bad idea, but we'd need an invoice to apply any payment against. Currently the invoice isn't created until the tech goes into the accepted quote and makes it an invoice.

Has anything been done with being able to easily do a partial payment? For my installs, I require 50% down so I can purchase the material and the rest is due at the time of service. Creating 2 invoices per install works but it takes time that could be utilized elsewhere.

johnny

You can already do partial.payments

How can I run partial payments. I didn't see an option on the invoice side or the Stripe side? Or is it something I missed?

Oh, no, Stripe doesn't support partials.
