In this article we are going to provide you the steps on how to accept partial payments using the Partial Deposits Addon for WooCommerce Booking & Appointment Plugin. Partial payments are defined as payments that accept a certain part of it for various reasons and have no fixed standard.

First step is to create your product in WooCommerce by clicking the Product > Add Product where you will find a Product Data metabox. You can now set the regular price of your product below it.

Third step is set the advance booking period under the Bookable Time Period Tab. By setting it, there will be no last minute reservations for the product and the earliest booking can be done prior to the booking date. The Number of Dates to choose will set the maximum number of days such as for a month or year.
