Test Partial Payments in the Invoices Request Deposit Beta

Hey everyone!

 

I’m excited to announce that we’ve rolled out a beta for accepting partial payments with Square Invoices!

 

This new feature will allow you to create a single invoice and track multiple payments on that invoice. This may also be useful for those of you who want to accept a deposit and collect the rest of the amount due later.

 

We know this is a feature many of you have been waiting for, so I hope you’ll help us test it out!

 

To join the beta click 'Reply' immediately below this post, leave a comment to let me know you’re interested, and I’ll enable it for your account.

 

By using partial payments and providing us feedback, you will directly influence and improve the Square Invoices product. So please share your reactions and input.

 

Cheers,

 

Howard, Square Beta Team

@Howard,

I have tested the feature with an actual customer and below is my feedback.

- Invoice set up with deposit request was very easy to create, allows me to select due date of both, deposit and final payment.

- Customer received it and was able to make deposit payment with no issue and messaging was good.

- This is where I run into a small issue.  I had to edit the invoice, after the deposit was made, as the customer added a couple of items. Because I had requested 50% deposit, the messaging was odd showing a past due amount of the now 50% difference.  Perhaps it might work for most line of businesses but I rather have the customer make this balance payment at pick up time and not to inconvenience them to make another small deposit.

- My business is a deli style restaurant and I was hoping to use this feature asking 50% deposit on catering orders and balance paid at pick up time.  I might not be able to use this feature till a new version is available allowing balance payment to be made on the square app.  Definitely having the two options, paying balance at either store or online, will be much more usable for a greater audience than the current set up.

I am very eager to get the full version of it running soon.

Thank you

Please sign me up.

@Ellanas Thank you for the feedback. 

How can I become part of this Beta?  I would love to test this feature.  I have not used invoicing because we didn't have this option.
