PreOrder Now (PON) offers two types of partial preorders:
Purchase Option Method
Legacy Method
Purchase Option Method
This method uses Shopify’s API and is only supported on the following payment gateways:
PayPal Payments Gateway
Shopify Payments
The main benefit of this method is that once the customer provides their credit card information during the initial deposit, the remaining balance is automatically charged on the specified date.
Legacy Method
With this method, the app splits the order into two parts:
The first order is paid upfront as the initial deposit.
Once the first payment is complete, the customer receives a link to complete the second payment for the remaining balance.
⚠️ Important:
This link can only be sent once, so the customer must save it and complete the payment at their convenience or as you recommend.
Once the balance is paid, you can proceed to fulfill the order.
