I would really like to thank the downpay team for there support my business could not have launched without it, the team are all really helpful!
The team at Downpay is absolutely amazing. They went out of their way to help me resolve several issues I was experiencing, and not just once, but multiple times. Their professionalism truly stands out. They take the time to fully understand your situation and then follow through with real solutions. I couldn’t be more appreciative of their support.
Great app. Perfect for taking deposits and auto collecting balance at a defined date in the future. Diana and her team offer great support as well. Loving it!
This is an awesome app, I have a very specific use case where I need to be able to take part payments from two payee's, one consumer the other business. When integrated with accounting software, I can take the consumer side first then later send an invoice to business to complete the order payment. This App enables the front end really really well. Can't speak more highly of customer support particularly Lidija. She actually listens and finds solutions. If you are an Australian store, exposed to Support at Home or NDIS funding models, stop looking, this app is for you
Solved a big problem for us. Happy
We've been using Downpay on our Shopify store to collect deposits during our pre-sale period, and it's been a game-changer. About 90% of our pre-sale customers opted to use the deposit feature, which significantly boosted order volume during what’s usually a slower sales period. The app is super easy to integrate and works exactly as promised. What really stands out is the support – Diana has been incredibly responsive and great to work with throughout. It’s also a huge plus knowing the team behind it are former Shopify folks and proudly based in Canada. Highly recommend if you're running pre-orders or looking to reduce friction for higher-ticket sales!
This was a massive help for a product we crowdsourced. Easy to integrate, and we were in communication with their team throughout the implementation. I would highly recommend it. I’ve used Kickstarter and have also run crowdfunding directly through Shopify—Downpay made that possible and allowed us to fully own the campaign internally.
Downpay is a great app from a great team. This flexible, API-driven product has unlocked several critical capabilities and growth opportunities for our business. They've been extremely responsive, flexible & patient with us during our re-platform to Shopify and with ongoing feature requests. I recommend highly to anyone looking to provide flexible payment and scheduling options to customers, and to protect their own high-value inventory.
