High-Ticket Furniture and Home Decor
A home goods store sells custom sectionals starting at $1,600. Paying the full price up front for a made-to-order piece puts buyers off. They enable a required 30% deposit storewide. Customers pay at checkout; the balance is due 45 days later when the piece is ready for delivery.
The customer is committed. Production is funded. The balance email fires automatically the week before delivery. Nobody has to send an invoice or chase the payment by hand.
