We’re using the default “Email Notice” for payments. Whenever we add a partial payment manually, and do the automated Email Notice, it tells the user that the value was paid in full. This is driving us crazy. How to fix it?

Sample Attendee Payment Record:

We issue a payment credit of $349.50 toward a total fee of $3495:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/eeon6i32tt9b639/Screenshot%202014-08-15%2010.36.17.png

We select the “Yes” option under Email Notice:

We press the “Update Payment” button:

And this is what the user receives in their inbox:

As you can see, we are not reporting the right value. It should’ve sent a note that said:
“We have just received a payment in the amount of $349.00 for your registration to California Teen Adventure Course for Grades 8-9.”

(Frankly, we would prefer to say “…received a payment in the amount of $349.00 toward your total of $3495.00 for your registration to California Teen Adventure Course for Grades 8-9.

Your new balance is $3,145.50. Please remit the balance due by xxxx date.”

The same issue occurs if we select the “Invoice/Payment Reminder”:

Only in this case, it tells the user that we haven’t received ANYTHING, even though we have been paid the $349.50 as shown in the previous screen shot.

Please help!

Hi,

Partial Payments are not supported in EE3.

There is this guide though that can at least get you somewhere along the way: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/setting-partial-payments-ee/

Issue is is that it won’t affect the emails. What you would probably need to do is edit the Payment Email (General Settings) and remove the actual costs and link them instead to the Payment page (via the [payment_url] tag), which will show the partial payment.
