If you set up a Down Payment, users will only have to pay the down payment percentage when they select Pay Later, rather than the full amount. They will have to pay the rest of the amount at a later point in time. This article will show you how to create down payment percentages.
Important Note
- Pay Later is not available for checkout on a mobile device.
Instructions
- Navigate to Activities > Activity List
- Expand an Activity
- Select Edit Session (pencil icon) next to the desired session
- Navigate to the Pricing tab
- Select Allow Pay Later
- Note: Pay Later cannot be used with payment plans or in checkout on a mobile device.
- Select Relative Date or Specific Date
- Relative Date: The user has to pay on a date relative to some event (eg: Sign Up, Session Start, Registration Start)
- Specific Date: The user has to pay on a fixed date
- Select the Balance Due By date
- For Relative Date
- Balance Due By: Enter the number of days
- Days Relative To: Select Before or After, and in relation to what event (Sign Up, Registration Start, Session Start)
- For Specific Date
- Balance Due By: Enter the specific date and time
- Balance Due By: Enter the specific date and time
- For Relative Date
- For both Relative and Specific Date, enter the percent (0 to 100%) to pay for the down payment
- Select Save Session at the bottom of the page
- Now, at checkout, a user will only have to pay that percentage of the total amount as a down payment. The rest of the amount will be due at a later date.

Can the % be changed to a dollar amount? We want even dollar amounts, for example, for a $15.00 fee we would like to make the amount $5.00 not a % that would involve coins.
Hi Denise,
At this time, the Require Down Payment field is only a percentage. A feature request for dollar amounts can be added here: https://www.civicrec.civicplus.help/hc/en-us/community/topics/115000374394-Activities-Feature-Requests
Thanks!
