Taking part of the money now and the rest later exists natively, but only along two specific paths. Business customers can be given payment terms against a stored card, and a pre-order or try-before-you-buy selling plan can defer a charge until the goods are ready. Ordinary retail checkout has neither. A deposit can be arranged there, but nothing native then collects the balance by itself.

That absence is the entire category. Every app here is building the second half: a way to record what is still owed, a means of asking for it, and something that reconciles the order when it arrives. The difference between them is how much of that is automatic and how much is you sending a reminder, which is a considerably more useful comparison than the feature lists suggest.

What to look for in a Split Payment app

Whether the balance is collected or merely requested: An invoice emailed to a customer is a request, and some percentage of requests go unanswered forever. A stored card charged automatically on a date is collection. These are sold under the same words and are not remotely the same business risk, so establish which one you are buying before anything else.
What the order looks like in between: Between deposit and balance the order is partly paid, and everything downstream has an opinion about that: your fulfilment rules, your reporting, your accounting export. Ask what state the order sits in and whether it can be picked, because shipping against an unpaid balance is the expensive version of this mistake.
Whether your case is really the B2B one: If your deposits are for trade customers, the native payment terms path may cover you without an app at all, and it stores the card properly. It is worth checking that before shopping, because a fair share of this category is sold to people who had a supported route available.

Built for Shopify
Built for Shopify is the highest level of recognition Shopify awards an app. To earn the badge, an app must meet Shopify's standards for safety, performance, ease of use, and proven usefulness: it cannot slow down the admin, storefront, or checkout, must integrate seamlessly into the Shopify admin, and must demonstrate quality through installs, reviews, and ratings over time. When comparing similar apps, preferring ones with the badge is a safe default. Learn more about the Built for Shopify badge →
