Enhanced Integrations (5.0+)​

WooCommerce Deposits Integration​

How It Works​

  1. Customer chooses an appointment and pays a deposit
  2. Appointment is created with "partial-payment" status
  3. System automatically generates a balance payment order

  • Plugin detects appointment products and adjusts PayPal behavior accordingly
