Partial Payment Invoice

A partial payment invoice is a document that requests a partial payment for a specific products or services. The amount request via the partial payment invoice is less than the total amount due. As an example, depending on the mutual understanding between the seller and buyer, it may be 50% or any other percentage.

This type of invoice is generally used in the following situations:

The customer is facing financial difficulty
The customer is unable to pay the upfront cost
The order size is substantial and will need to be fulfilled in parts
The invoice covers the supply of goods or services for a larger period

Let us now turn to how to make a partial invoice for half payment.

How to Make an Invoice for Half Payment

Generating a partial invoice is the same as generating a normal standard invoice with the following prominent differences:

The total amount due is reduced to the agreed percentage. For example, if the invoice amounts to $10,000 and the customer has agreed to pay 50% for now, the rest of the 50% will be covered in the next invoice.
The invoice note should explicitly mention that it will be a partial payment invoice and that the remaining balance will be invoiced in the future. This will help to avoid any misunderstanding or dispute that may arise between the seller and buyer in the future.
