Summary
Merchant Sergio Hudson needed help setting up partial payments for pre-orders after upgrading his plan, which the AI bot attempted to guide him through but he couldn't locate the setting. Human agent Grace resolved the partial payment setup via a screen recording. Sergio also raised a separate issue where the 'Buy it now' button was appearing on collection pages for pre-order-only items; Grace submitted a request for a free feature upgrade, and agent Miles later applied the configuration fix directly.

**[2026-05-06 18:23:22] user/Sergio Hudson**
> With the pre-order option. Can you guide me on how to accept partial Payments?
**[2026-05-06 18:23:35] bot/Luna**
> You can accept partial payments for pre-orders by enabling Partial Payment inside the specific Pre-order Offer you want to use.
> Steps:
> 1. In Shopify Admin, open our PreOrder app and go to the PreOrder Dashboard.
> 2. Click the Offer you want to change (Default Offer or a custom offer).
> 3. Scroll to Billing Policy and select Partial Payment.
> 4. Set the upfront amount (percentage or fixed amount) and set when the remaining balance is due (for example, 14 days after the order is placed).
> 5. Click Save.
> Extra: You can’t offer both partial and full payment at the same time, and the remaining balance is collected manually via the Orders tab in Shopify.

**[2026-05-06 23:14:26] bot/Luna**
> It’s usually not missing - it’s just in a different place than you expect. Partial Payment is set per Pre-order Offer, not as a global setting.
> Steps:
> 1. Shopify Admin → open our app → Pre-order tab → See all (Offers).
> 2. Click the Offer you want (Default Offer or a custom one).
> 3. Scroll to Billing Policy (under Pre-order Logics) → choose Partial Payment → set the upfront amount and when the balance is due → Save.
> Extra: If you’re on the Lite plan, you won’t see it (it’s Starter plan and higher).
