My org also has the need for multi-pays/recurring payments to enable low income families to pay for a year long program or event.
Thanks,

My organization is a member-owned photography gallery. There are 100 members. We have annual dues, but we allow those who can't pay all at once to pay half at renewal time and half later. It would be very helpful to allow a partial payment on membership renewals.

Recording Payments - do not auto-fill the amount due. We have members make installment payments off line (by check). Auto filling the amount due often is not noticed and the wrong amount is recorded

We are working on developing an event which will require a payment plan.
The total cost of the event is $375.
A $100 deposit will be due at the time of registration.
The remaining $275 will be due by the registration deadline.
It would be nice to have a payment plan option for this where members could pay any amount until the registration deadline.

Need to list in the registration that a deposit of $150 is due and can be paid by paypal or check. But need another line showing the balance that is due say $1500 but can only be paid by check (offline). We need the convenience of paypal when the fee is low but saving of checks only we he fee is now high for paypal.

This is huge. I currently have to create 2 events for each event to get a deposit first that accepts paypal and then another for the balance that doesn't accept paypal. If I do it in one and tell them to only pay x$ deposit the whole invoice not can be paid by paypal.

Ability to accept partial payments via "credit card charge" for invoices

Could Wild Apricot develop the capability to support installment payments? We are a ski club and want to start offering our trips for sale via our website, but supporting online sales with current capabilities is rather cumbersome. I'm imagining a summary page that could be added as the final step when necessary in an event registration process where the registrant could specify the amount to pay now (with the balance remaining unpaid and to be invoiced).

My business model includes deposits...it creates a LOT of back office work because my customers are used to putting a deposit down for an event and pay the balance at the door. Financial commitment is CRUCIAL w/o them paying for the full event at one time. Hope this is something that can happen VERY soon...

Agree I would like this function also

When "online" payment is selected for renewing a membership, allow a partial payment of the fee and leave the remainder as a 'balance due'.

Allow deposits to be directly applied to events, rather than creating two entries- deposit or paid in full.

Many of our members will pay half of the membership fees on their own and the other half is paid by the agency. So an option or to split or make only a partial payment would be very helpful. Currently, the only option is for the member to make a full payment (via credit card).

Yes, agreed this is very much needed. We want people to commit to events that cost us a lot of money (such as airline tickets) and the best way to get a real head count is by having them commit financially.

Currently, partial payments on an invoice can only be made via cash or check and recorded by the administrator. I would like to see members being able to make installment payments online on an invoice using a credit card.

Would be very helpful and reduce manual labor of our office staff.

Oh, and a due date for when the balance is due!

Our folks are used to paying a deposit to sign up for an event, and the balance for that event at a later date. I would like to see a deposit option, that deducts the deposit paid from the final balance due.

An installment plan will require an installment agreement to be executed so that the participant acknowledges that they have a responsibility to finish the payments. Soooo for each of these one would need the ability to create a customized agreement that the participant would agree to

We have just met with our marketing consultant who feels that to get people to join it is very very important to offer a low introductory rate and then if they do not cancel they automatically get bumped up to a higher rate. So in our case we would put people on a monthly plan at $99 for the first month and if they didn't cancel it would then increase to $199. In our case they wuld then be making a commitment for say six months so I would also like to see a recurring billing plan feature that would allow one to specify how many months the recurring plan would be in effect - otherwise if we are offering a six month program and the participant is expecting the billing to end at month six we would not have to remember to go back and cancel - the member certainly wouldn't be happy if they got billed in month seven under this scenario
