# Payment of a deposit when ordering

</note>

You ask your customers to pay a % deposit but you don't want to create an invoice to avoid having hundreds of unpaid invoices?

## Pre-configuration

If you want to offer payment of 30% on order, for example, make sure this option is activated in the "Payment terms" dictionary:

[{{projet_stancer:pasted:20230304-104034.png?direct<ignore>=400|</ignore>Go to the "Terms of payment" dictionary}}]

[{{projet_stancer:pasted:20230304-104121.png?direct<ignore>=400|</ignore>Then activate the option to pay a % when ordering}}]

## Set up

The best solution is to draw up a quote and choose the payment method best suited to your situation:

Depending on your Dolibarr configuration, the order is automatically generated when you sign the quote (for example, via electronic signature with [[en:projet_uptosign:accueil|UptoSign]])

[{{projet_stancer:pasted:20250217-104039.png?direct<ignore>=400|</ignore>Automatic creation of the order when the quote is signed (see the "workflow" module)}}]

[{{projet_stancer:pasted:20230304-104735.png?direct<ignore>=400|</ignore>Order based on accepted quote}}]

And the order payment link is proposed

Note that automatic redirection is possible between the moment your customer signs the quote online and access to payment for the order, making the process very smooth:
  - you send the quote to your customer
  - they sign it online
  - the order form is created
  - the customer is redirected to the payment page for this order
  - they make the payment
  - the invoice is issued with the associated payment!

You can even insert other business processes (launch a production order, a shipment, a stock movement) ... see your Dolibarr expert for more details.
