What your Deposits and Payment Plans plugin does

A focused plugin for deposits and simple payment plans. You set the deposit and the schedule for the balance.

Deposit at checkout
A percent or fixed deposit, optional or required per product.
Payment plans
Split the balance into set payments on a schedule you choose.
Balance reminders
Customers get an email with a link to pay each remaining part.
One settings page
Its own item in your WordPress admin menu, so options are easy to find and change.
Good to know: Payments are taken through your existing gateways. Automatic card charges on the due date need a gateway that saves cards, which Ora will check with you.

Tell Ora what you need. Check the plan before you pay.

Describe your WooCommerce Deposits and Payment Plans Plugin in your own words. Ora replies with a plan and a price. Nothing is built until you approve it.

Example request
I sell custom furniture at $1,200 to $3,000. Take a 30% deposit at checkout, then the balance 4 weeks later with an email reminder 3 days before. Deposit required on everything in the Sofas category.
O
Ora
Here is the plan:
  • 30% deposit required on the Sofas category
  • Balance due 4 weeks later
  • Reminder email 3 days before the due date
  • A settings page in its own menu in your WordPress admin
Complex build · $39 once
In this build: Automatic recurring charges and late fees are not in this plan. Each order is a one-off balance, not a subscription.
Want more? Add it to your request:
  • Late reminders. Send a second email if the balance is overdue.
  • Deposit by role. Make deposits available only to certain customer roles.
Add these to my request and get a quote
Ora builds it together with the plugin and the quote goes up to match. You see the new price before you pay. One plugin never costs more than $39. If it needs more than one plugin, Ora quotes each one. Or add it later as a separate build.
