Picture a shopper adding a $1,200 sofa set to their cart. The price is fine — paying all of it today isn’t. They choose a 20% deposit at checkout and the order goes through immediately.
Over the next few weeks, they log into My Account and chip away at the remaining balance in whatever amounts work for them — no fixed schedule, no second invoice to chase down. The order simply shows less owing each time.
For the store, nothing about fulfillment changes. The sale is confirmed the moment the deposit lands; the balance just catches up on its own timeline.
