Am VERY interested in this option! Let the customer enter how much to pay off their balance.

was wondering who to set up multiple payments as an option for an event so that a large single payment can be made into two, three or four smaller ones. They would choose whether to do single payment at a slightly lower price or multiple payments at a higher total price.

Best,

Murray

I would like to see more flexibility in customising payment frequencies. My groups do not operate on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis, instead 3 terms a year, with the option of paying half terms, so therefore 3 or 6 payments date customisable payments depending on your membership would be perfect.

Any updates from Wild Apricot? The system allows the admin to "record" a partial payment against an invoice. Why can't the member make a partial payment against the invoice directly?

A payment option for people wanting to pay in installments would be very helpful tool. For example, a $400 invoice for an event, could be payed in 4 payments of $100. Memberclicks has this option. Food for thought!

We would like to have installment payments available for online payments, particularly for our annual conference registrations. We do accept installment payments with checks and our finance director updates the invoice accordingly, but many of our members have asked for online installments due to the cost of the conference. Also, many of our members do not use checks at all, operating solely with debit/credit cards.

My events are ski trips. Our members make installment payments with a check and our treasurer records the check against an invoice. The timing and amount of these payments is at the member's discretion (i.e. not regularly scheduled). I'd like members to be able make installment payments online as they currently do with checks and to be able to mix online and check payments against the same invoice.

We'd like this feature as well. We have an event in which a group will pay registration for users but the users are responsible for any extra charges they select. We'd like to be able for users to pay for their extra charges and have the invoice show a balance so the group can pick up the rest.

Wild Apricot Team, is there an update on this feature yet? It's been almost 2 years. Any information will be appreciated. We are struggling without the ability to offer payment plans on our events. Thanks.

We sell trips and usually offer 3 payments over several months, a deposit, an interim payment, and the final payment. Why not allow the payment amount to be adjusted rather than it being the fixed amount of all the open invoices. The default to pay all open invoices is also a problem. We have folks with multiple trips and open invoices and they just want to make a payment against one trip invoice.

This feature will allow organizations to collect more money as members does not always have the full money money upfront

Installment Payments on Membership Levels and Pledge Donation/Giving Levels

Looking for functionality to allow a member to pay an amount less than the invoice amount. For larger membership amounts, we want to support the concept of a "down payment". This is also helpful for people that have corporate match programs. We ask them to pay a smaller non-charitable portion and then wait for the charitable portion to come via a corporate match program.

NOTE: we still have the setting to require approval before activating a membership. This allows us to make sure the "minimum" amount was paid. Our workaround is very manual, requiring manual invoices added after the fact.

We desperately need our members to have the option to make a partial payment to their pool membership invoice and then complete the payment due prior to their membership renewal deadline. We don't want to change the overall payment schedule (quarterly vs yearly) and we simply do not have the volunteer manpower to do this for members manually. Please consider this feature. We are now paying $40 more dollars a month with our increase and have gained nothing but room for the extra 50 or less members we needed to add to our limit of 250. Thank you.

Checking in after another 6 months. Is this feature on the calendar for you guys to implement in 2019? We are desperate for it. Our business needs the ability to offer a payment plan for our events. Thanks.

It would be so great to have the capability of paying a deposit, then paying the balance when the event is closer.

I would love the capability of offering payment plans for events.

We found a workaround using WA payments. AffiniPay allows recurring payments set up on their online portal, so we are using that for now. It isn’t ideal.. payments are taken out, then invoices are entered into WA and the payment is recorded.. but, it works for now.

Allow members to make partial payments online.

No ETA yet, sorry about this. Not 2018 most likely.
As I mentioned earlier, it's different from recurring payments for members and requires massive update of our financial keeping engine (invoices, payments, updating registration based in payments, etc). So introducing Wild Apricot payments is not helping here.
