Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureFor made-to-order products, pre-orders, and bookings with weeks of lead time. In your own checkout, customers pay a deposit and their card is saved. You collect the balance in one payment. Using draft orders, you request the customer's card, then charge it as needed. Good to know: Downpay doesn't lend money or run credit checks. Online deposits take card or PayPal. Balances can also be paid on POS.
Turn buyer hesitation into paid orders with partial payments. Depositly lets your customers pay a deposit (percentage or fixed) at checkout, split payments into installments, or share one order between several people. The remaining balance of partial payment is charged automatically to the saved card when due. Set due dates by date, days after checkout, or on fulfillment.
- Offer partial payment on some or all products all in one order
- Charge or authorize payment manually or automatically to the card on file
- Use Downpay's API or Flow integration for partial payment automation at scale
- Enable Downpay on legacy, 2.0 themes or custom storefront including Hydrogen
- Deposits & partial payments (percentage, fixed) built on native Shopify checkout
- Automatic balance collection — charge the saved card when the balance is due
- Installments & split payments: group pay or pay over time via email invoices
- Balance due by date, days after checkout, or on fulfillment + auto reminders
