Making Payments Easier to Start Without Delays

When invoices have higher totals, customers may delay payment if they can’t pay the full amount upfront.

Partial payments allow customers to pay a portion of the invoice while keeping the remaining balance tracked and visible.

Without this flexibility, invoices can sit unpaid longer, slowing down cash flow and requiring more follow-up.

This guide will walk you through how to enable and manage partial payments so customers can commit sooner and complete the balance over time.

To begin, review how to enable partial payments and set your minimum threshold.

Enable Partial Payments

Go to Payments → Invoices.
Click the Settings gear icon.
Toggle Allow Partial Payments to On.
Set the Minimum Percentage you’ll accept (example: 25%).

Follow along: Turn partials on once in settings, then confirm it’s enabled on the invoice you’re sending (depending on how your account applies invoice defaults).

Create & Send an Invoice with Partial Payments

Create a new invoice and confirm Allow Partial Payments is enabled for that invoice.
Add line items, taxes/discounts, and confirm the total.
Verify you have a supported payment processor connected.
Send the invoice via Email and/or Text.

Pro tip: Add one sentence to your invoice note like: “Partial payments accepted (minimum {X}%). Remaining balance due by {date}.”

Customer Payment Experience

The invoice page displays a Partial Payment option.
The customer enters an amount that meets or exceeds your minimum percentage.
The invoice updates to Partially Paid and shows the remaining balance.

Manage & Edit Partially Paid Invoices

Track balances: Monitor partials and remaining amounts in your invoice list and invoice details.
Edit after payment: Open the invoice → click Edit on the section you need (details, products, payment schedule) → Save.
Follow up: Send reminders as due dates approach to reduce “forgotten balance” scenarios.

Heads up: If a customer tries to pay below your minimum, the system will reject the amount and prompt them to increase it.

Why Partial Payments Help

Flexibility: Makes larger invoices easier for customers to commit to.
Cash flow: Collect money sooner while keeping the balance visible and trackable.
Fewer delays: Reduces stalled invoices when clients need time to pay in stages.

Pro Tips

Set clear terms: State the minimum percentage and the remaining-balance deadline in the invoice notes.
Automate reminders: Use scheduled follow-ups for upcoming and overdue balances.
Reconcile weekly: Confirm partials, balances, and payment logs match your records.
Use recurring when appropriate: Partial payments can work with one-time and recurring invoices.
