If you set up a Down Payment, users will only have to pay the down payment percentage when they select Pay Later, rather than the full amount. They will have to pay the rest of the amount at a later point in time. This article will show you how to create down payment percentages.
Instructions
Log in to Recreation Management
Navigate to Activities, then to the Activity List tab
Expand an Activity
Select Edit Session (pencil icon) next to the desired session
Navigate to the Pricing tab
Check the Allow Pay Later checkbox. This will trigger more fields to populate.
Select Relative Date or Specific Date
Relative Date: The user must make a payment based on a specific event. This event could be Sign Up, Session Start, or Registration Start. The payment date depends on when that event happens.
Specific Date: The user has to pay on a fixed date
Select the Balance Due By date
For Relative Date
Balance Due By: Enter the number of days
Days Relative To: Select Before or After, and in relation to what event (Sign Up, Registration Start, Session Start)
For a Specific Date
Balance Due By: Enter the specific date and time
For both Relative and Specific Date, enter the percent (0 to 100%) to pay for the down payment
Select the Save Session button at the bottom of the page

Now, at checkout, a user will only have to pay that percentage of the total amount as a down payment. The rest of the amount will be due at a later date.
