Deposit & Partial Payment Depo

I didn’t give this a 1-star review because I did successfully use this plugin to process hundreds of pre-order payments. However, the plugin has a lot of serious bugs.

First, the loading speed is extremely slow. If users quickly click “Buy” or “Add to cart” before the pre-order script fully loads, they may end up being charged the full price instead of the pre-order price.

Second, even after I disabled the plugin, as long as it wasn’t fully uninstalled, it still randomly created pre-order orders using Depo.

Third, all pre-orders created through Depo could not properly trigger confirmation emails when users paid the remaining balance. This may be due to a logic conflict where a confirmation email was already sent after the initial deposit payment. As a result, none of my customers received a final confirmation email after completing the full payment.

I contacted support about all of these issues, but none of them were resolved. Because of that, I’m giving this a 2-star review. Honestly, I wanted to give it 1 star, but I’m being generous here.

The app is great and takes deposits for new orders. However be warned that the app also takes a fee from any manual orders taken through the website. For example if you use the website to track orders and someone pays you via bank transfer they'll also take a fee from this as well. I don't believe this to be fair. Just a word of warning to anyone looking into using this app. If you setup a manual order for 10,000 for example and accidently clicked "Payment Made" you'll be charged their fee
