How to use

Watch this tutorial video for installation and more.

Once you install DEPART, the plugin creates:

  1. Two custom order status: Visit this documentation.
    1. Installment (Installment Plan): If an order has products with deposit payment, after placing order, the order status is set to “Installment Plan” by default. This status will be kept till all of its suborders are completed.
    2. Overdue: This status is assigned when a partial payment is not completed by its deadline, the parent order status will be changed to Overdue.
  2. Two email types:
    1. DEPART – Partial payment received: This email is sent when an installment plan is paid successfully.
    2. DEPART – Partial payment reminder: This email can be sent, either manually under “Reminder email” column in WooCommerce Orders dashboard or WooCommerce Suborder dashboard; or automatically when an order/suborder is marked as “Overdue” or is due today.
  3. Suborders menu under WooCommerce Orders
  4. PAY button in My account >> Orders to let users complete their installments.

 

And, there are 2 types of deposit you can configure:

  1. Global Deposit: This type is basically the general settings that you configure in Payment Plans and Deposit Rules. Once a product have all conditions of a deposit rule fulfilled, the associated payment plan will show up available for that product on frontend. The common flow is:
    1. Build your Payment Plans
    2. Set up Deposit Rules and assign specific payment plan for each rule.
  2. Custom Deposit: This is setup in an individual product. Visit this documentation for more details.
    Note: Unlike Global Deposit Rules with multiple conditions, Custom Deposit works based on product.

 

For customers, they can view the assigned payment plans for products on the front end and create deposit orders as desired. Visit this documentation for details.

For admins, learn about global deposit rules, general settings, and how to configure them as suggested above.
