Can I just take a deposit payment, rather than full payment?

I'd like to just take a set deposit payment for every item in my store, but I want to be able to show the full price in each product record. Is there a way of doing this using the discount feature? I want to take a fixed deposit of £15, but the prices of the products all vary, so it wouldn't be a fixed monetary amount that needs discounting. 

Thank you!

Squarespace Scheduling has a deposit feature but Squarespace Commerce doesn't. Also Commerce discounts don't work in the way you require.

There may be workarounds such as using variants ('deposit' and 'full payment) but the usability will depend on the context and for that it would be helpful to see the website and to understand how you plan to receive the balance of payment. 

thank you for your reply - an example from the website is: https://www.warners-stores.co.uk/store/p/morrisons-medium-whole-turkey-4-549kg 

Basically, when someone orders, ideally I'd like them to pay a deposit, because we won't know the exact price of the product until it is delivered into us. The balance of the payment would be made when the customer collects their order at our physical store. 

Hi Paul, do you know how you would change "price" to "deposit" for only one of the stores on my site? I've got two set up exactly for this issue, but only want one store to be for deposits, and the other for "price".

Yes! You can do this by prefixing the CSS above with the 'Collection ID' of the Store. 

In Squarespace, every 'collection' (such as a Store page, Blog page or Events page) has something called a 'Collection ID'. Because they are unique, Collection IDs can be used to target a specific page on your Squarespace site. I describe how to find your page's Collection ID in How to apply CSS to one Squarespace page, but if you need help, do post back with more information.
