Total does not update

Hey @nateadmin. That is the order total, not the amount owed. The order total never changes. Even payments made with regular payment gateways will not update that amount.

You may be interested in the Update Order Status When setting:

1. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Manual Payment
2. Set the Update Order Status When setting
3. Set the Update Order Status To setting

The problem with the “Update the status order when” setting, is that these is only one choice.

Really you need two:

When partial payment is made, order status should update to: Partially Paid
When full payment is made, order status should be updated to: Completed

Also, the bigger issue still resides: after partial payment is made and user wants to complete other half of payment, he does not have option.

WooCommerce core doesn’t support partial payments for a single order. If an order has a status that allows the customer to make a payment, that payment will always be for the order total. This plugin doesn’t add anything to the visitor-facing part of your site. As of now, there is no way for the customer to pay a partial amount without changing the order total. Are you using WooCommerce Deposits? WooCommerce Deposits creates a new order for each payment.

Being able to set different statuses is a good idea. I may add action hooks in the future that would allow you to update the order in different ways depending on whether the order is fully paid for or partially paid for.
