We’re excited to introduce Payment Plans for Estimates šŸ’³. You can now offer customers more flexibility by splitting estimate payments into scheduled installments, making it easier to close larger deals and give customers clearer payment expectations from the start.
šŸš€
What’s new
  • Add payment schedules to estimates
    : Break the total estimate amount into multiple payments instead of requiring the full amount upfront.
  • Deposit-based estimates
    : Configure the first payment as a deposit that is collected when the estimate is accepted.
  • Flexible scheduling options
    : Set subsequent payments using custom due dates or regular intervals (for example weekly).
  • Percentage-based plans
    : Use the percentage toggle to easily split payments as portions of the total estimate.
