Payment in terms

Seriously difficult request came in today:
My clients want to offer payment in terms for some articles.....

Something that does not seems easy to implement but should looked at. We have 4 Clients with this request now.
Very often these are also people that want to pay by bank transfer, making the whole process even more complicated.
We use SISOW in the Netherlands who can deal with our banktransfers en feed the 'completion' back to Hika.

Setting up payment in terms would need some timing mechanism and probably two different articles. One for the first payment and one for the second.
I am also thinking about doing this with acymailing, people buy the first article, trigger a campaign in Acy that sends a letter for the second term, pointing at a second article. Problem with this setup is that there is no way to check of people use the link and follow up.
If no link was clicked you would not know you only got half the payment.

Please share your thoughts.

Hi,

The best in your case would be that SISOW handle payments in several installments and have the payment plugin support that.
We actually already have a few payment plugins which support that although they don't support bank transfers, only credit card payments.

A solution with acymailing is interesting. You should have something a bit more complex though in that case:
People buy the first article, trigger a campaign in Acy that sends a letter for the second term, pointing at a second article AND add them to a "waiting for installment" list. Then, when people buy the second product, remove them from that list to a third list "all installments paid".
That way, you know the persons for who you are waiting an installment and you can always contact them (automatically or not) if you don't get the payment in due time.
