Using the installment plan mod for initial deposits

[joey779]

I would like to take an initial deposit payment (30%) of the total price at the time of order (automatically) and then take the remainder (70%) on delivery (manually).

Would the installment plan add on mod be suitable for this?

Would there be any problems and if so, is there any alternative solution.

PS. I'm using Zen 1.3.9 no mods apart from the image handler.
I take credit card payments through world pay only.

Regards
Joe

I use an instalment mod. Sort of made it myself and it requies manually sending the 30% deposit invoices, so it's pretty annoying. If there were a way of forcing a % payment in order to complete the checkout then that would be somthing that interests me too. At present, our customers can select 'Pay by Instalments' and then chekout without paying a penny. We invoice them for the % deposit after the orders come through.

As an alternative would it be possible to set the price at 30% of the total which is paid at checkout and having the full price displayed in the product description with custonmer instructions for paying the remainder (70%) on delivery.

Are there any legal implications \ problems with this method? for example that a payment has been made and so the customer cannot be re invoiced?
