i have just installed Amelia and i have noticed that you do not support deposit payments. I have read that you are considering adding it in future, but i was wondering if theres any way i can change the check out to say instead of "Base Price" to say "Deposit".
Also, is there any way i can add a not at the checkout that the customer is Paying Deposit and the remainder of the payment to be paid after the services provided.
Yes, there isn't a possibility for Deposits in Amelia with its current built-in features. It is in our to-do list for one of the future updates.
You can change strings in the plugin by using the translation method, but in your case you would change strings in the same language, you wouldn't translate them to another one.
Strings can be changed using POEDIT or Loco Translate for example. If you want to use POEDIT then this is the instruction:
4. Open the program and open the file from the extracted folder on your computer ameliabooking/languages/en_US/wpamelia-en_US.po.
5. Change the strings you want.
6. Save the translation.
7. Go to ameliabooking/languages/en_US/ folder and copy these two files - wpamelia-en_US.po and wpamelia-en_US.mo back to your website to the location ../wp-content/plugins/ameliabooking/languages/en_US/.
Please note that when you update the plugin this change will be lost, so you would need to apply it after each update.
You can add a Custom field to the booking form where you will point out that the price is deposit only. Custom fields are set bellow the input fields name/email/etc. and you can read more about this feature here.
There isn't a possibility for setting up a reminder for the rest of the amount that needs to be paid, unfortunately. You can only add a sentence or some info about this in the email notifications sent on the Amelia -> Notifications page. There is the Reminder notification sent one day before the appointments, so maybe that one would be convenient.
If you have any further questions or concerns feel free to ask,
Thank you so much for your help. Im going to use the custom fields and they do the job for now just perfect.
I know its a different but i dont want to open more tickets, i dont seem to be able to get the customer panel. I have followed the instructions on your website but i dont have the toggle option to enable the customer panel. :(
Could you please tell me which version of Amelia do you have? You can check that on the Plugins page. The newest version is 2.8, so if you don't have that version please update Amelia by following the instructions bellow and let me know if this solved the issue.
