PAYMENT LINKS

Partial Payments

Accept rent, monthly grocery dues, invoices, fees, and other large bills through multiple payments using one FiatPe Payment Link.

Accept part payments with one Payment Link

FiatPe partial payments let a customer pay a larger bill through multiple successful transactions instead of paying the full amount at once. The same Payment Link keeps the original payable amount, amount paid, outstanding balance, minimum payable amount, and payment history together until the collection is completed or the link expires.

Partial payment does not mean the bill is fully paid.

Provide goods, access, or a final receipt only according to your business rules and after the outstanding balance reaches zero.

Partial payment use cases

Rent collection

A tenant can pay the monthly rent in more than one transaction before the agreed due date. The landlord can review each successful payment and the remaining rent balance against one link.

Monthly grocery dues

A neighbourhood store can send one link for a customer's monthly grocery bill. The customer may clear the total gradually while the merchant tracks the paid amount and outstanding balance.

Business invoices

Collect an advance first and the remaining invoice amount later without generating a new payment request for every instalment.

Education and course fees

Allow a student or guardian to pay an eligible fee in multiple parts while retaining one reference for the complete fee request.

Event or service bookings

Collect a booking amount followed by the remaining balance before the event, appointment, or service date.

Large purchases

Let an approved customer split a high-value payment into manageable transactions while your team monitors completion.

Collection and reconciliation guidance

  • Use one stable reference ID to connect every transaction to the same rent bill, grocery account, invoice, or fee record.
  • Update the paid and outstanding amounts only after each payment is confirmed successful.
  • Expect webhook retries and process every payment idempotently so the same transaction is never counted twice.
  • Do not mark the overall bill paid until the verified successful total equals the requested amount.
  • Communicate the minimum amount, due date, expiry, and any late-payment policy before sharing the link.
  • Never use partial payments as credit unless your business is permitted to offer that arrangement and your customer terms clearly explain it.
