Deposits
Deposits are a way to let your customers pay only part of the purchase price of an item up-front. There are many reasons you might want to do this, but as always, it depends on what suits your business.
Configuring Deposits
Products
You can configure which Products require a deposit by checking the checkbox for Product2.Require_Deposit__c
. This will ensure the amount charged at checkout will be a depoist only.
Deposit Amount
There are two ways to configure what amount is charged for the deposit: a global amount used for all products, or a custom per-product amount.
Global Amount
To configure a global deposit price across your store, you can use the Store__c.Deposit_Amount__c
field to set the deposit amount that will be charged at checkout for all products that require a deposit as long as they don’t have their own custom amount set.
Per-Product Amount
To configure a product with its own deposit amount, set a value in the Product’s PricebookEntry.Deposit_Amount__c
field. This will override any global deposit amount.
Note If the deposit amount exceeds the Product’s price, the deposit will not be charged, just the product’s price.
