New features
👉 Apply deposit rules using product tags
You can now target deposit and installment rules using Shopify product tags. Any product tagged with a matching tag will automatically follow your deposit or installment settings — no need to configure each product individually.
This is especially useful when your catalog grows or changes. As long as a product carries the right tag, it stays in sync with your payment rules automatically.
How it works:
Assign a tag to products in Shopify admin — for example,
deposit-requiredorinstallment-classIn Split Payments, create or edit a rule and select Specific product tags as the target
Enter the tag name — the rule will apply to all matching products instantly
Adding or removing the tag in Shopify will automatically include or exclude that product from the rule
You can use it for:
Grouping products that always require a deposit at checkout
Keeping large catalogs in sync without manual updates
Applying the same rule across multiple product types at once
👉 Offer deposits and installments on out-of-stock products
You now have more control over when the deposit or installment widget appears for your customers. Instead of always showing or hiding the option, you can tie its visibility to the product's current stock status.
The new display options are:
Always— show the deposit option regardless of stock level
Only when out of stock— show the deposit option as an alternative when a variant is unavailable
Only when in stock— show the deposit option only when the variant is available to purchase
Using the "out of stock" option? Make sure to enable Continue selling when out of stock for the relevant products in your Shopify admin. Without this setting, Shopify will block checkout for out-of-stock variants even if the deposit widget is shown.
This gives you flexibility to keep selling and collecting payments even when inventory runs low.
👉 Fixed amount deposits and installments (not just %)
Until now, deposits and installments were configured as a percentage of the product price. You can now set a fixed dollar amount — perfect for use cases like sign-up fees, class registration deposits, or flat installment payments.
How fixed amounts work:
Scenario | What happens |
Fixed amount < product price | Deposit or installment applies normally at cart and checkout |
Fixed amount ≥ product price | Widget is hidden — full price is shown at cart and checkout without any split applied |
This is especially useful when:
You charge a standard sign-up or booking fee across multiple products
Your initial payment should stay the same regardless of order value
You want to apply a consistent upfront amount to a whole category (like classes or events) without setting up plans one by one
Note: Fixed amounts are calculated per product, not per cart. For example, a $100 deposit on a product means a customer buying 2 of that product will pay a $200 deposit at checkout.
