50% payment option

[PeteAckers]

Hi, I am setting up AbanteCart for my knitting business. My products will show the full price including a flat fee of $50 for shipping, when a customer places an order I would like to be able to have a way for them to pay the 50% to cover the cost of getting the yarn. Is that possible?

Thanks

 Welcome to AbanteCart!

Is this a prepayment option that you are looking for?
Currently it is not possible to split payment for single order and automatically charge 2 separate times.

This can be done as a custom work or extension.

As alternative solution, you can use secure way to collect customers credit cards and process transactions manually (offline).
This extension can collect off line credit cards.
