Description

DatRooster Partial Payments is the foundation of a WooCommerce deposits plugin built for custom client projects.

Current milestone includes:

monorepo-ready structure;
WordPress Settings API integration;
product-level deposit overrides for simple and variable products;
automatic reuse of existing WooCommerce payment gateways for deposit orders;
optional gateway restrictions only when deposit mode is active;
configurable handling for proportional product tax, shipping collection, and coupon eligibility on deposit items;
configurable minimum cart or product threshold before deposits become available, with a cart and checkout selector once the threshold is reached;
estimated remaining balance summary for products, tax, and shipping in cart, checkout, and order metadata;
linked balance orders generated from paid deposit orders;
a Partially paid order status and a My Account balance payment action for classic WooCommerce flows;
transactional balance emails with configurable WooCommerce subjects, headings, and email formats;
automatic balance due dates and reminder scheduling for classic WooCommerce order-pay flows;
bundled translation files for Italian, Spanish, and German, with English kept as the source locale;
WooCommerce dependency checks;
HPOS compatibility declaration and explicit Cart & Checkout Blocks incompatibility until the dedicated integration is built, with an admin notice when block-based cart or checkout pages are detected;
customizable labels and global deposit defaults.

This release focuses on classic WooCommerce product, cart, checkout, and My Account flows. Cart & Checkout Blocks support, more advanced deposit rules, and merchant tooling are planned for future milestones.
