-   Feature available for both one-time and recurring invoices.

Why This Feature?

-   This feature empowers business owners with more control over the payment plans for their customers as well as helps them to capture more payments from their potential clients/customers.

Note:

-   For recurring invoices the partial payment as a feature is available for invoices that have autopayment disabled. In case of autopayment enabled and customer card it will have the option for partial payment for the first invoice but for the subsequent one's it would autodraft the full amount.

Summary

-   This feature introduces partial payments for end customers by allowing businesses to set minimum percentages for invoice payments, empowering them with greater flexibility and control over payment plans, ultimately enhancing client payment capture rates.

How to Use?

-   Ensure that a payment gateway (Stripe / [Authorize.net](http://authorize.net/) / NMI) is integrated.
-   Go to Payments -> Invoices -> Invoices Settings.
-   From this page menu click on Payment Settings and enable the Partial Payments Toggle
-   Add a percentage in the input field (Percentage is calculated based on the total amount of the invoice amount to be paid).
-   Click on "Save." and Voila you now have Partial Payments Enabled !
