What is Deposit & Partial Payment Depo?
Depo is a split-payment and deposit management app covering partial payments, preorders, subscriptions and cash-on-delivery deposits, similar in spirit to the split-payment feature of Preorder Now covered earlier in this project but built as a standalone, dedicated payment tool. It carries the Built for Shopify badge and shows a 4.4/5 rating on 93 reviews. It's developed by Sidepanda Services LLP.
How does the app work on a Shopify store?
Merchants collect deposits and send pending payment invoices as many times as needed, charging the remaining balance automatically at a scheduled date or manually when an item is ready to ship. Deposits and partial payments can be applied to preorder orders created through the Shopify admin, and the app also supports cash-on-delivery orders, automatically charging or reducing the remaining amount to cut down on return-to-sender losses. It covers 7 languages, including French, German, Spanish and Italian, and connects to Shopify POS, Auto Charge, Deposit, Deposits, Partial Payment, Pre Order and Split Payment.
Why choose Depo over another deposit or preorder app?
Being a more focused, standalone deposit and split-payment tool, rather than bundling in broader preorder marketing features like Preorder Now, makes it a leaner choice for a merchant whose main need is flexible payment splitting rather than waitlists or restock alerts. Cash-on-delivery deposit handling is a distinctive feature not offered by most preorder or payment apps covered elsewhere in this project, useful for markets where COD remains common. Pricing is percentage-plus-flat-fee per transaction rather than a flat subscription (1% + $0.20 on Starter, dropping to 0.5% + $0.10 on Pro), a structure worth calculating carefully against actual transaction volume and average order value, since the effective cost varies significantly with order size; the rating (4.4) is also modestly lower than most other apps covered in this project, worth checking recent reviews before committing.
What are the 3 main features of the app?
- Deposits and split payments, with automatic or manual balance charging.
- Cash-on-delivery deposit handling, reducing return-to-sender losses.
- Preorder payment support, for draft orders created via Shopify admin.
