 * Hi,
 * I created an order for $5.
 * I made a partial payment of $2.5
 * But the overview page still shows $5 owed: [http://prntscr.com/oyd6ja](http://prntscr.com/oyd6ja)
 * And if user logs in to make a payment, it also shows $5 owed: [http://prntscr.com/oyd77q](http://prntscr.com/oyd77q)
 * Please help

 * Hey [@nateadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nateadmin/). That is the
   order total, not the amount owed. The order total never changes. Even payments
   made with regular payment gateways will not update that amount.
 * You may be interested in the **Update Order Status When** setting:
    1. Go to **WooCommerce > Settings > Manual Payment**
    2. Set the **Update Order Status When** setting
    3. Set the **Update Order Status To** setting

 * The problem with the “Update the status order when” setting, is that these is
   only one choice.
 * Really you need two:
 * When partial payment is made, order status should update to: Partially Paid
    
   When full payment is made, order status should be updated to: Completed
 * Also, the bigger issue still resides: after partial payment is made and user 
   wants to complete other half of payment, he does not have option.

 * WooCommerce core doesn’t support partial payments for a single order. If an order
   has a status that allows the customer to make a payment, that payment will always
   be for the order total. This plugin doesn’t add anything to the visitor-facing
   part of your site. As of now, there is no way for the customer to pay a partial
   amount without changing the order total. Are you using WooCommerce Deposits? 
   WooCommerce Deposits creates a new order for each payment.
 * Being able to set different statuses is a good idea. I may add action hooks in
   the future that would allow you to update the order in different ways depending
   on whether the order is fully paid for or partially paid for.
