Charge the way sales actually work
Not every sale is paid all at once. Many businesses collect a percentage up front to kick off the order and the rest on delivery. Cord makes it native.
Key benefits:
- Deposit % per quote or as a default: Set a deposit (e.g. 50%) in the editor, or configure it as your business default so it pre-fills. The editor shows you live how much your client pays on approval and how much is left as balance.
- A clear breakdown for the client: The public link shows "total $X · today you pay $Y as a deposit, balance $Z." No surprises.
- Payment opens when it makes sense: A cash quote is payable right away; a credit quote (Net 30/60) doesn't ask for money until the due date arrives. The deposit, if any, is always payable on approval.
- Each part is a real charge: Deposit, balance and installments are independent charges each with their own link, all straight to your bank via Cord Payments. The quote is marked paid only once no charge remains pending.
How it works
Set the deposit percentage and balance terms.
The link explains how much is due today and how much remains.
Every charge updates the balance until the quote or invoice is fully settled.
Availability and scope
Supports deposits, balances, partial payments, and installments tied to one sale, with independent traceable movements.
Clear limits
Online payment requires active Cord Payments. Where that rail is unavailable, the business can record manual payments without pretending automatic bank reconciliation.
