When a transaction is purchased as a deposit-only or partial payment, there will be an outstanding balance. There are several options to collect an outstanding balance:

Send an email to customer to collect outstanding balance
*This is a great option if you want to allow the customer to use a different card to pay the remaining balance instead of the one used for the deposit.
