You can use the integration between YITH Booking and Appointment for WooCommerce and YITH WooCommerce Deposits \/ Down Payments to allow customers to pay a deposit when booking, instead of paying for the entire booking at once. Let\u2019s see how to do it…<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. \n
        \n
      1. After installing and activating both plugins, make sure you enable the Deposits \/ Down Payments plugin features in your dashboard > Deposits \/ Down Payments > General Options > Deposit Options and <\/span>configure the plugin (you can refer to <\/span>this guide<\/span><\/a> to learn how to do it):<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"Enable<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n

      2. \n
          \n
        1. In the same section, you can enter the default deposit for all of the products in your shop (of course, that option can be overridden at a product level). The deposit value can be set as a fixed amount or a percentage:<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \"Default<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n

        2. In the next subtab, Balance Options, you can enable the option to request the balance payment to customers. By doing so and thanks to the integration between both plugins, you\u2019ll get a new option to decide when to request it. This is a great new feature already used by popular websites like Airbnb that request the balance payment seven days before the booking start date:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\"Request<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
        3. \n
            \n
          1. For example, if you choose to request the balance payment a specific time range before the booking start date, you\u2019ll get a new option to enter the number of days before the booking to request that payment:<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \"Request<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n

          2. Once you\u2019re done configuring the Deposit \/ Down Payments options, your customers will see the bookable products pages with the related information, that is, the deposit value and the timeframe to pay for the balance: \u00a0<\/span>
            \n<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
              \n
            1. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \"Deposit<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n

            2. Finally, In YITH > Booking and Appointment > Settings > Cart & Orders, you\u2019ll find a helpful option to decide when to mark the bookings as paid, either when the deposit is paid or when the balance is:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
