PayPal Invoicing - Partial Payments

[d2designs]

Can a customer make more than one payment if I "allow partial payment" on an invoice? For example, can they make four payments?

I have seen this kind of question in searches, but there are no answers.

Thanks in advance.

Yes.

If you want to accept a deposit or partial payment from your customer, check the partial payments box at the bottom of your invoice. You can also set a minimum amount. Your customer can then make a full payment, pay the minimum, or pay an amount greater than the minimum.

Your invoice will have a partially paid status until it’s paid in full. The amount paid will also appear on the invoice for both you and your customer.

The partial payments feature allows your customers to make multiple payments towards the full balance of one invoice, rather than you having to submit multiple invoices.

The feature is not intended to be a credit product or to allow for an excessive number of payments to be made. PayPal may contact you if they believe you are not using the product correctly.

Is there another "layaway" option other than PayPal Credit? Some of my customers may be from outside the US, or do not want to sign up for PayPal Credit.

Maybe the installment, subscription or automatic payment buttons are what you are looking for:

Is there a way to set an amount of time for the payment to be due?

As another user has already asked (but went unanswered), is there a way to specify a date where the full payment is due??
