Can I create an invoice for a client to pay an initial deposit and then the invoice auto debits their card for set amount in intervals until paid in full?

I can see the benefits of using QuickBooks Online's Autopay feature to pay invoices according to your payment terms, @lidowatchclub. I'm here to provide insights on how this feature works.
 

I understand the importance of efficiently managing your transactions. However, please note that autopay can only be set up for the full amount of the invoice. If the customer changes the amount, the Autopay option will no longer be available. Therefore, setting up partial autopay payment on the invoice isn't possible.

Nevertheless, you can still share your feedback and suggestions with our product engineers by following these steps:

1. Click the Gear Icon.
2. Under Profile, click on Feedback.
3. Enter your Suggestions.
4. Then click Submit.
