What happens when an order is paid for with Partial.ly?
When a customer checks out with Partial.ly, the order will automatically be added to your Shopify account with all product and customer information. The Shopify order will have the status of 'partially paid'.

Shopify requires payments to be authorized and then captured, which are both automatically handled by Partial.ly.

Partial.ly will create a single authorized transaction upon order creation, which will be fully captured when the payment plan is paid in full.

This means the customer may have have paid 50% of the balance due, but it will not reflect in Shopify. You would need to log into partial.ly/login to view the paid amount. Once the plan is paid in full, the full amount will be captured and the Shopify order will be marked as paid.

Example:

WARNING: There will be a 'Capture payment' button on the Shopify order. Do not click this button. Partial.ly will automatically charge the payments according to the payment plan schedule. If you wish to manually process a payment for the customer, it must be done within your Partial.ly account.

How do I issue a refund?
Partial.ly Plans can only be canceled and refunded through your Partial.ly Merchant Account.

If a cancel/refund is only done through Shopify, it will only generate a notification but no actual refund will be processed, and the plan will stay open and continue to collect payments.You can read more about refunds here: How to Cancel/Refund Payment Plans.
