Enable partial payments and deposits in WooCommerce. Offer percentage or fixed amount deposits with automated reminders and full label customization.

== Description ==
**Bright Deposits for WooCommerce** is a powerful and flexible solution that allows you to accept partial payments, down payments, or deposits on your online store. Whether you sell high-end products or want to provide payment flexibility to your customers, this plugin gives you full control over your cash flow and sales strategy.

With an intuitive settings panel, you can set up global deposit rules or for specific products. The plugin also handles the "heavy lifting" of communication by sending automated email reminders to customers before their balance is due.
