## Reviews

### "I was interested in trying this out, still on the fence but willing to try again" — 4.0/5

> **Megan** | *13 March 2018*
> 
> **Pros**: What I liked most about this was the ease of use of the software and how clear the interface was, everything was easy to follow and clearly stated for you.
> 
> **Cons**: I am still trying to find a way to best use it for our business, it is a great tool, but I am trying to decided if it is worth the investment for our small non-profit.

### "With Partial.ly, I don't have to reduce my prices to make my web design services more affordable." — 5.0/5

> **Larah** | *13 March 2018* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Offering payment plans has allowed me to create a predictable, passive income stream. I love that it's easy to create the plans and send them to clients. I love that I have full control over how flexible payments are, additional fees, interest, all of it.
> 
> **Cons**: There are a few features I'd love to see:
We need a place to add an itemized invoice for the services they're getting. I've been adding links to a google doc with this information, but that's not ideal.

I'd love to have a screen that quickly shows the payments that are coming in this month, with a total amount and expected payment dates. Currently, we have to go to a number of screens to find this information.

I'd like a bit more control when a client's payment doesn't go through. There have been a couple of times when a payment didn't go through. I've never been able to get the "re-start the payment plan" to work, so I've had to re-create a new payment plan losing the payment history of the original. 

I'd love to be able to  preview the emails the client gets so I can improve their process even more.

### "Thief and accomplice" — 1.0/5

> **Emmanuel** | *12 September 2023* | International Trade & Development | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to pay in several installments on wonderland toys
> 
> **Cons**: Toys wonderland have never sent my order and partial.ly supposedly has no recourse to help me because I want to open a dispute and melt my deaf ear
> 
> Very regrettable don't go through them because if there's a problem you can't get your money back

### "The app is easy to use and set up. It allows you to customize it to match your brand." — 5.0/5

> **Rolande** | *13 March 2018* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I enjoy the ability to create payment plan offers that work with my business. I also enjoy being able to view my clients details. This is helpful when it is to review their payment history and overall customer behavior.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish the shipping option synced up with my shipping on my site. I use real-time shipping via Shopify. On Partail.ly I have to add fixed shipping rates. The problem is I have clients in SC and HI. they have totally different shipping needs. This will be a problem when I scale. 2) Also, there isn't a way to only show certain customers the payment plan option. For instance, my retail customers are not offered the payment plan option. My wholesale clients are offered the payment plan option. I have to send a separate link to my wholesale clients, so my retail costumers are not given access to the payment plan option. It would be awesome if I could add a tag to those authorized to use the payment plan option. This would allow me to upload it to the site and never have the need to provide a separate link via email. 3) Last I would be wonderful if I could add a tag to those with extended payment plan options. Right now customers can choose the type of plan that words for them. Some of my clients will receive different plans from others. Right now there is alot of extra word to offer the plan.

### "Partial.ly complete." — 4.0/5

> **Graham** | *24 May 2017* | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The user interface is nice and it is easy to install with shopify. Bottom line the product works and handles a lot of processes well.
> 
> **Cons**: If you extend credit you become a collections company. 
-customer login is confusing for customers.  Should be done through an account created on company's site with link to partial.ly
-cards default to previously stored cards even when new ones are added
-if an account defaults then cancel owners do not have the ability to add the card and restart the account without contacting partial.ly support 
-quick sort tabs for active, default, canceled, etc. 
-item based financing. At current, the total cart is financed. Even if minimum finance amounts are met. 
-there is a glitch where if a customer enters a .con for example with their email partial.ly will create a payment plan but shopify will not create an order. 
-payment and missed payment emails can be confusing because they don't come from the company who sold the customer the product. 
-this is strictly personal not functional, but partial.ly should try to mask itself as much as possible. Customers and more importantly my competitors should not be so aware of how the payments are processed. Similar to how a normal gateway works. Obviously there in the small print.
> 
> Replaced a custom plugin we had with woocommerce. Again the benefits for selling expensive products are obvious and the product does work.

The platform functions as a payment orchestration layer that integrates with existing e commerce and accounting systems rather than replacing them. Merchants can process payment arrangements that traditional shopping carts and payment processors cannot accommodate. The platform serves a diverse range of industries including medical and dental practices, high ticket retail, travel and hospitality, events and entertainment, education and training, professional services, and various service based businesses. The platform eliminates credit checks, delivers full approval rates, and retains merchant ownership of customer relationships while maintaining complete control over payment terms and cash flow management.\n\nThe platform provides extensive customization capabilities for payment plan configuration. Merchants can define down payment amounts, installment frequencies ranging from weekly to monthly intervals, and payment durations spanning one to twelve months. Multiple payment models are supported including modern layaway where customers pay over time before goods are shipped, smart deposit systems for securing reservations with automated subsequent payments, pre order engines for funding production before inventory arrives, and in house financing for high ticket services. The checkout experience can be tailored with a dynamic final payment date calculator that structures schedules around customer specified appointment or service dates, a layaway widget with structured installment options, a split payment selector for even payment divisions across classes and memberships, and pre order options with full schedule previews. Merchant controls include payment retry logic, customer notifications, contract terms, and branding elements managed through a centralized dashboard. Automated payment processing handles collections via credit card, debit card, or bank transfer with configurable retry mechanisms and late payment management tools including automated notifications and optional late fee assessments. The system provides real time reporting and analytics on payment plan performance, customer payment behavior insights, and comprehensive dashboard views for managing active payment arrangements.\n\nPartial.ly integrates with major e commerce platforms such as Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento, as well as accounting solutions including QuickBooks and Xero. The platform offers application programming interface access for custom integrations and enables developers to automate payment plan creation programmatically. Webhook functionality provides real time event notifications for payment status changes, plan updates, and customer actions. The platform also connects with Zapier and n eight n for workflow automation across third party applications. For healthcare providers, a specific integration with NexHealth facilitates patient friendly financing for dental work, fertility treatments, and elective procedures. The platform maintains AES two hundred fifty six bank level encryption, Level One PCI compliance, and European Union Strong Customer Authentication compatibility to ensure secure payment processing across global markets. The system supports multiple currencies for international payment processing and provides mobile optimized interfaces accessible across smartphones, tablets, and desktop devices to ensure both merchants and customers can manage payment plans from any device.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/9c84cdb9-b778-4dda-9f80-fdc38d6252f6.png","url":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2113878/partial-ly","@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2113878/partial-ly#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","bestRating":5,"ratingCount":90,"ratingValue":4.4},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Apple, Windows, Linux, Chrome"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2113878/partial-ly#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Billing and Invoicing Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/240/billing-invoicing/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Partial.ly","position":3,"item":"/software/2113878/partial-ly","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
