The ability to take a deposit (partial payment) on a long lead item would be really nice. I have been trying to do the workaround Bernadette suggested (a seperate product for the deposit and a second product for the balance).
But this leads to several additional and awkward problems.
(1) How do you present a complex product which costs $2500 when the headline for that product is "Deposit for $250". You are not trying to sell the deposit. I had to make a "seperate catalog page" (outside the store) to describe the product and its pricing, with links to the two seperate "store products". This makes SEO really complicated as you want to emphisize the product and price rather than the billing. (2) Where do you post customer reviews? I would want it to be on the "seperate catalog page" with the discription and pricing information, not on the deposit or balance pages, but I can see no way of doing this.
(3) How do you make a commercial invoice (I sell internationally) for something that is really a combination of two products? You have to do it manually, so that feature is no longer useable.
Weebly is a nice product simple product, but this workaround is really putting my loyalty to the test.
