About this Product
Partial Payment & Deposit Checkout is a custom Shopify app that ECOSIRE builds, installs and supports for your store — not an instant App Store download. It solves a concrete cash-flow and risk problem: high-ticket, made-to-order and COD merchants lose sales when the full price is demanded up front, and lose money when COD parcels are refused on delivery.
The app lets a customer pay a configurable deposit (percentage or fixed amount) now and the remaining balance later. We implement deposit logic per product, per collection or store-wide using Shopify metafields, and drive the money flow through the Admin GraphQL API and draft orders so the original cart, line items, taxes and discounts stay intact. The balance is captured later via a secure pay-balance link, an emailed reminder sequence, or — for COD — an advance-payment collection step that filters out return-to-origin (RTO) risk before you ship.
Every order writes a balance-tracking record (paid vs. outstanding, due date, status) surfaced in an embedded admin dashboard built with Polaris and App Bridge. Webhooks (orders/create, orders/paid, refunds/create) keep balances, fulfillment holds and reminders in sync. Layaway and installment schedules are supported as timed balance milestones.
Because it is built to order, we scope it to your theme, checkout configuration, payment provider and tax setup, install it on your store under a custom OAuth app, and hand over a system that matches your real workflow. You get the source-aware build, a walkthrough, and ongoing support from the team that wrote it. Pricing is a one-time build fee of $999; there is an honest delivery lead time rather than a one-click install.
What you get
- A custom Shopify app built for your store, installed via a private OAuth app with least-privilege scopes
- Deposit rule configuration (percentage/fixed, per-product/collection/store-wide) wired to your catalog via metafields
- Embedded admin dashboard for balance tracking, due dates and outstanding amounts
- Pay-balance link flow plus the email reminder sequence templates
- COD advance-collection workflow with fulfillment hold on unpaid balances
- Webhook handlers and reminder logic registered and verified against your store
- Theme integration for deposit messaging on product/cart pages, plus a configuration walkthrough and handover doc
Who this is for
High-ticket / made-to-order seller
Sells furniture, equipment, custom or built-to-spec goods where customers balk at paying the full price up front. A deposit secures the order and funds production, while the balance is collected before delivery.
COD / RTO-risk merchant
Runs cash-on-delivery in markets with high refusal rates. Collecting a small advance payment filters out non-serious buyers and slashes return-to-origin losses on shipped parcels.
Layaway / installment retailer
Wants to let shoppers reserve an item and pay it off over scheduled milestones, with automated reminders and clear balance tracking, without bolting on a heavyweight financing provider.

Frequently Asked Questions about Partial Payment & Deposit Checkout
Is this an instant Shopify App Store download?
No. This is a build-to-order app. ECOSIRE builds it for your specific store, theme, payment provider and tax setup, then installs it for you as a private OAuth app. You are buying a scoped custom build and installation, not a self-serve App Store listing.
How long does delivery take after I order?
Typical delivery is around 10–15 business days from when we confirm scope and you grant collaborator/app access. Simple percentage-deposit setups land faster; layaway scheduling, COD advance flows and heavy theme customization add time. We give you a firm timeline during scoping before any build work starts.
Do I get ongoing support and updates after install?
Yes. Because we wrote the code, we support it. The build fee includes a post-install support window for fixes and adjustments, and we keep the app working across Shopify API version updates. Ongoing maintenance and feature changes beyond the initial window are available as a separate agreement.
Does this change my Shopify checkout or replace my payment provider?
No. It works alongside your existing payment provider. We orchestrate deposits and balances using draft orders and the Admin GraphQL API, and collect the balance later through secure pay-balance links — so taxes, discounts and line items on the original order stay intact.
How does the COD advance-payment feature reduce return-to-origin losses?
Before a COD order is fulfilled, the app requires a small online advance payment. Webhooks place a fulfillment hold until that advance clears, so non-serious buyers are filtered out and you only ship parcels backed by a real, paid commitment.
