Modify date and content display about deposits on your theme
Downpay and Shopify automatically add details about the purchase option in several places. This guide highlights places where this content appears, and how you can hide, modify, or add to this content.
On this page:
Checkout, order status page, and customer accounts
Downpay
Remove due date
A due date is displayed on a product page by default when Downpay is added.
This text can either be modified or removed using two Downpay theme settings :
This settings determines if/when the the due date text is shown
This setting determines the content of the due date text
Checkout, order status page, and customer accounts
To edit content related to purchase options on the checkout, order status page, and customer accounts, you will need to manually update "Theme Content".
How to edit theme content
Navigate to theme content
Checkout and Order Status Page content can only be edited in the "Theme Content" settings. These settings can be found by clicking "Edit default theme content" in the "..." menu of the theme you wish to modify.
Edit theme content
Click into a field to edit the content. Make sure to click "Save" to finalize your edits.
💡 If you wish to hide content entirely, use custom css with this guide. The theme editor will display default values if no custom text is defined.

Email notifications
There are two email notifications which include details about orders with purchase options:
The only way to edit these email notifications is to edit the html templates.
How to edit HTML email templates
Navigate to the email template html
To find an email template:
- Click "Settings" in the side navigation of your Shopify admin
- Click "Notifications"
- Select the "Customer notifications"
- Select the specific template
- Click "Edit code"
Edit email template
Editing an email template requires working with HTML. Here are a few tips to help with this task:
Use search
If you click into the text box you can use the the search keyboard shortcut to access a full text search of the template
- mac: command + f
- windows: ctrl + f
Send test emails
Send yourself the emails once you have made edits to ensure the emails show exactly as you expect. Make a test order that has a product with a purchase option to send relevant notifications.
Order confirmation
Add unique message only for deposit orders
If you'd like to add messaging that only appears for orders with deposits, use the following code:
{% if payment_terms and payment_terms.automatic_capture_at_fulfillment == false or b2b?%}
Your deposit has been received, and your item will enter in production soon. We will notify you when your remaining balance is due.
{% endif %}
Add Pay Now Button
Shopify has deprecated the Pay balance button found on the order status and Customer portal pages. If you wish to offer customers their own Pay now button insert the following code in to the order confirmation email in the place you wish for it to appear. This button will display for customers only when they have paid a deposit.
{% if payment_terms and payment_terms.automatic_capture_at_fulfillment == false or b2b?%}
<table class="container">
<tr>
<td class="actions__cell">
<table class="button main-action-cell">
<tr>
<td class="button__cell"><a href="{{ checkout_payment_collection_url }}" class="button__text">Pay now</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
{% endif %}
Insert position on the default Shopify order confirmation email:
Remove due date
The order confirmation notification includes the due date for products with a purchase option in two places:
Navigate to the "Order confirmation" html. The due date text can either be modified or removed by modifying the following html blocks:
<span>Total due {{ due_at_date }}</span>
{{ payment_terms.translated_name }}: Due {{ due_date | date: format: 'date' }}<br>
To find these blocks, search for their text.
Add "due now" and "due later" totals
"Due now" and "Due later" totals will not be added if you have modified the order confirmation template before installing Downpay. You will need to manually add this code to display these subtotals.
Navigate to the "Order confirmation" html, then add the following code above or below your subtotal-line within the table.
{% assign transaction_size = 0 %}
{% assign transaction_amount = 0 %}
{% for transaction in transactions %}
{% if transaction.status == "success" %}
{% unless transaction.kind == "authorization" or transaction.kind == "void" %}
{% assign transaction_size = transaction_size | plus: 1 %}
{% assign transaction_amount = transaction_amount | plus: transaction.amount %}
{% endunless %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% if payment_terms and payment_terms.automatic_capture_at_fulfillment == false or b2b?%}
{% assign due_at_date = payment_terms.next_payment.due_at | date: "%b %d, %Y" %}
<tr class="subtotal-line">
<td class="subtotal-line__title">
<p>
<span>Total paid today</span>
</p>
</td>
<td class="subtotal-line__value">
<strong>{{ transaction_amount | money_with_currency }}</strong>
</td>
</tr>
<div class="payment-terms">
<tr class="subtotal-line">
<td class="subtotal-line__title">
<p>
<span>Total due later</span>
</p>
</td>
<td class="subtotal-line__value">
<strong>{{ payment_terms.next_payment.amount_due | money_with_currency }}</strong>
</td>
</tr>
</div>
{% endif %}
Order invoice
Remove due date
The order invoice notification includes the due date for products with a purchase option in two places.
Navigate to the "Order invoice" html. The due date text can either be modified or removed by modifying the following html blocks:
<h2>Payment of {{ order.total_outstanding | money }} is due {{ due_date | date: format: 'date' }}</h2>
<p>{{ payment_terms.translated_name }}: Due {{ due_date | date: format: 'date' }}</p>
To find these blocks, search for their text.
Return created
Returns processed with Shopify may not reflect accurate refund totals for certain partial payment strategies like try before you buy. The template below uses the Shopify default template but hides the line items and subtotals on the return created customer email when there are partially paid products in the order.
