Compatibility with deposit plugins

Hi @minutepapillon,

Can you reach out to me via the Help button located on any of the settings pages of the plugin. I’d like to review this with you and test any compatibility changes.

I am planning a new release soon and if this is something straightforward I can just include it in the next release.

Kind Regards,

Hi @minutepapillon,

I responded to your support request but haven’t heard back. I don’t think that coded snippet you linked to actually does anything. The payment_fields are relevant for rending the checkout page gateway html. The $total in that Stripe plugin isn’t even used.

With my plugin here is the issue:

When a payment is made, the payment ID is saved to the order meta. If you set the order’s status to pending after it has been completed, the payment intent remains. The plugin then attempts to use that same payment intent which has already been consumed.

The solution is to ensure a new payment intent is used for the next payment on the order. But that has its own set of problems because then you lose visibility to the charge ID associated with the deposit. WooCommerce only allows for one charge ID per order. I am not sure why your deposit plugin doesn’t generate a new order separate from the deposit. That to me makes more sense.

Is there a git or public forum for that deposit plugin where I could reach out to their devs?

Kind Regards,

Hi, Mr Clayton,
Sorry for this late answer.
Here is my solution :
1°) Use your plugin which is for the moment quite satisfying
2°) Use “WooCommerce Deposits – Partial Payments Plugin”
It works well, has lots of interesting options. The very reasonable cost is to be payed once and not yearly. So I think that recommending it is a good option to solve these deposit issues.
Thanks for your kind and fast support,
Have a nice day,
Nicolas
