Why can't I take a deposit on POS?

On Shopify POSPayments and signaturesUpdated 2 Nov 2026

Short answer

Take Deposit on Shopify POS requires Shopify Plus because it uses a native deposit percentage in payment terms.

Without Plus, take payment in full or set terms with no deposit. You can also create an eligible separate deposit order in the OrderPilot app before placing the main sale.

Can we move existing orders, deposits and paperwork into OrderPilot?

Confirm the migration scope before relying on OrderPilot to carry over existing orders, deposits and paperwork. Catalog CSV import covers templates, options and values; it is not a confirmed import route for historical sales. Shopify drafts created outside OrderPilot are not automatically adopted.

How can I take a deposit on a custom sofa in Shopify?

You can take a partial payment through Shopify POS where supported, or use native percentage deposit terms on Shopify Plus. Shopify documents POS partial payments and draft-order deposit terms. POS availability depends on device settings and country restrictions.

OrderPilot also creates separate deposit-order links on any Shopify plan before the main sale is placed. The paid deposit is credited against the main draft. That route is created in the admin app; OrderPilot's Take Deposit route on POS requires Plus.
