# Set Up Partial Payments in the Releasit COD Fee & Partial Pay app


Partial Payments allow you to collect a portion of the order total upfront while the remaining amount is paid on delivery. This helps reduce COD risk and increases order commitment from customers.

This tutorial explains **how to enable, configure, and display Partial Payments** in the **COD Fee & OTP Verify app**, step by step.

###### ⚠️ Important note ⚠️ :

* When a customer clicks the **Buy Now / Proceed to Checkout** button, a modal will be shown explaining the Partial Payment split (upfront amount and remaining COD balance).
* If your store offers **multiple payment methods**, you must also have a **100% prepaid option** available (created and enabled), so customers can complete checkout using a fully prepaid payment method if they choose.

### Step 1: Enable the App

Before configuring Partial Payments, make sure that the **COD Fee & OTP Verify app is enabled** in your store.
If the app is disabled, none of the checkout features will be visible to customers.

**Best practice:**
We recommend placing the Partial Payment Info block **as the last component on the checkout page**, so customers clearly see the payment breakdown before completing their order.

### Optional: Add the Block to the Thank You Page too
You can also add the Partial Payment Info block yo the **Thank you page**, if you prefer the partial payment info to be shown there too.

### Step 3: Configure Partial Payments

1. Open the **Partial Payment** section in the app, set the **Partial Payment percentage or amount**
2. Configure the percentage or amount of the partial payment.
