    My next question would be, how do I set it up to bypass payments. For instance, the total balance due isn’t due same day only a percentage.

    Hi, srbeck147.


    Do you want to charge your clients a percentage of the total amount? I am afraid that is not possible with PayPal. The products can only be paid at once or later, but it is not possible to pay just a percentage of the total amount. 

    Complete guide 👉 How-to-Enable-Payment-Authorization (as you can read here, Braintree has this option. However, I am not sure if you can charge the remaining amount later)


    Maybe by using the Stripe widget and Dashboard, you can follow my colleague's instructions in the link below to charge a percentage of the total amount.

    If you would like to test it, I would recommend you to clone your form and switch to Stripe or Braintree gateway in the cloned form to verify if it could work better for you.
