Split payments on an order

Learn how to create an order with two single payment products and then split the payments. When you split payments, BillPro creates an instalment order. For an instalment order, BillPro automatically schedules and collects the payments. In BillPro, all the actions to collect or cancel a scheduled payment are called a billing event .

Instalment purchase type

To work through this tutorial, your merchant must be able to accept Instalments. This option must be activated in your merchant configuration.

Before you begin:

1. If you already did the walkthrough in Create your first order, you will have a single purchase product. You can edit this basic product to add a price and create a second single-payment product and then skip the first step here.

Create two basic single payment products

1. On the navigation bar, click + and select Add Product.
2. Enter a Product Name and click Next.
3. Select Single Payment and click Next.
4. Optional: enter a Price. Click Next, then Finish.
5. Make a note of the product's Product ID, from the Products List. You can use it to find the product.

Repeat for a second product. See Create a single payment product.

Create an order with two products

1. On the navigation bar, click + and select Add Order.
2. For the Customer, type part of the name and select the customer. To get a payment link, the customer needs a valid email. To add a customer, click + beside the field.
3. Under Products, select the first product, and enter the Qty and Amount.
4. Click Add More Products and add the second product the same way.

Split the payments

Split the order's payment to turn it into an instalment order.

1. Under Additional Parameters, turn on Split Payments.
2. To charge a deposit now, turn on Collect Deposit and enter the Deposit Amount.
3. Enter Split balance by (count), the number of instalments.
4. Choose the Charge Interval, such as Month, or Custom.
5. Check the Start Date of the first instalment.
6. Optional: enter a Memo for the customer.
7. Click Add Order.

Take the payment

To activate the order, the customer pays the deposit and saves their card for the instalments. Enter the card by phone on the Payment Details page, or send a payment link. See Collect payments.

The payment link opens the checkout with the order details. The customer enters their card and clicks Pay Now.

When the payment is approved, the customer sees that it was successful, with a link to the order portal.

Check the active order

After the deposit is paid, the order is Active. BillPro schedules each instalment. Open the order and click the Billing Events tab to see them.

Congratulations! You've created an instalment order.
