Thanks, WEndel.")* Hi, If you want the user to not pay the full amount for a product during the checkout, you will have to enter only the amount he can pay in the prices of the product. Then, you should add the full price in a custom product field and add some custom code in the views of HikaShop in order to display that price instead of the one in the normal field so that the user would see the full price. If you want to add a "notes" field during the checkout, you will have to create a custom field of the table "order". More information on custom fields: [ www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...p-field-listing.html](http://www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentation/41-hikashop-field-listing.html) The size of the thumbnails on the checkout can be changed in the Files tab of the configuration.

The thing is, I have already created a number of custom fields to choose from (eg. Engravings, Inscriptions etc - see here: [ chrisclemes.co.uk/shop/product/show/2-cu.../category\_pathway-22](https://chrisclemes.co.uk/shop/product/show/2-custom-finished/category_pathway-22)). These custom fields all affect the price. How do I go about adding a custom field that takes all these custom options into consideration, and then allows the customer to pay 50% of the final amount as a deposit? I hope this is possible. Thanks!

Thanks, WEndel.")* Hi, You can use that plugin: [ www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/attachment...hikashop\_deposit.zip](http://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/attachments/63/hikashop_deposit.zip) You first need to create a custom field of the table "product" via the menu Display->Custom fields with the column name "deposit". Then, install and enable the plugin above. Finally, in each product edition page, enter the percentage of the deposit you want in the custom field that you created. That will display and use the deposit price in the cart/checkout/invoice instead of the full price. So you might also want to modify some texts to take that into account: [ www.hikashop.com/en/download/languages.html#modify](http://www.hikashop.com/en/download/languages.html#modify) Or even edit so of the view files via the menu Display->Views. If you already have a price override plugin, instead of using the deposit plugin above, you can simply modify your price override plugin in order to take the deposit custom field into account.

It all worked on my local install of the site... only thing is, I am battling to understand how to display the fact that a 50% deposit is required, and that the total amount payable has been reduced by half. It appears in my cart, but not anywhere on the product once I have added it, and also without any indication that it is a deposit ie. "50% deposit required for work to commence: $xxx" etc. I had a look at the Modifying Languages link I sent... but am not sure how to edit that file for the required output. Sorry if I am missing something here!

It is not a general message to be applied to the cart across the whole shop, but only on selected products, where I would like to output something along these lines: **Name Price** Flyrod £ 500.00 --- Total £ 500.00 50% deposit £ 250.00 And have the deposit amount be the amount applied at checkout.

Thanks, WEndel.")* Hi, Well, the solution with the deposit plugin changes the product price to the deposit amount. So the system thinks that it's the full price of the product. If you want to still display the the full price on the checkout, that will require to modify the code of the deposit plugin as well as hikashop core file (the class.currency file of the backend where totals are calculated among other things) and the cart view file to still have the full price stored in the price of the product, the quantity price being calculated and the total of the cart with full prices calculated and then display that instead of the normal system. Frankly, that's quite complex. I would recommend to find a 3rd party developer to help you with all that.

I have attached a screenshot showing what I mean.

Later, when I will have the product How can he pay for the rest? Can I show this -if(!empty($row->deposit)) echo ' '.$row->deposit.'% deposit required';- in the product page?

Usually, the users pay the deposit on the website and then pay the rest when they come in for the service they purchased. For example, for a hotel room, they pay the deposit for the reservation on your website and pay the rest at the desk of the hotel at the checkout. So I think that in most cases, being able to pay the rest on the website is neither useful not wanted. If you want your users to pay everything on your website, why not have them pay the whole amount directly ? Or pay in installments (some payment methods allow for that) ?

Thanks, WEndel.")* I have articles that I do not have in stock and are expensive, so if an user want it he can pay a deposit to order it and when I have he pay the rest. In a lot of cases I should deliver the article so the user does not come to my shop. The deposit plugin is close to be perfect but I wanted to know if it was possible to pay for the rest. Now I know it is not possible. Another question about this. It is possible to show in the article view a message like: "No stock. Deposit needed for reservation" Not for all articles only for the articles who have the deposit active. Thanks.
