Enable Partial Payments

You can configure the Standard Payment Links to receive partial payments from your customer for a particular order.

Use Case

The Partial Payment feature comes in handy while dealing with large transactions, where the customer finds paying the total amount in parts more convenient than paying the entire amount upfront.

For example, a tourism company, Acme Corp. offers expensive travel packages. As per the company's payment terms, a fixed booking amount should be collected from the customer before making any tour reservations.

With the Partial Payments feature, Acme Corp. issues a Payment Link using which the customer pays the booking amount for an order. The customer can make multiple payments for the remaining balance amount for the same order using the same Payment Link.

Just like any other payment, each partial payment would have a unique payment_id, but will be tied to the same order_id, thereby allowing customers to easily make multiple payments for the same order using the same Payment Link.

This makes it easier to track the status of a particular order.

How it Works

You create a Payment Link of MYR 20,000.00.
The customer chooses to pay an amount of MYR 10,000.00 out of the due amount mentioned in the Payment Link.
Since the customer pays less than the due amount, the Payment Link would show partially_paid status until the amount due is zero or until the link gets expired or canceled.
After the full amount has been paid, the status of the Payment Link changes to paid.
