Mobile Payments: Payment Schedule in Estimates

We’re excited to introduce Payment Plans for Estimates 💳. You can now offer customers more flexibility by splitting estimate payments into scheduled installments, making it easier to close larger deals and give customers clearer payment expectations from the start.

🚀

What’s new

  • Add payment schedules to estimates

    : Break the total estimate amount into multiple payments instead of requiring the full amount upfront.

  • Deposit-based estimates

    : Configure the first payment as a deposit that is collected when the estimate is accepted.

  • Flexible scheduling options

    : Set subsequent payments using custom due dates or regular intervals (for example weekly).

  • Percentage-based plans

    : Use the percentage toggle to easily split payments as portions of the total estimate.
