GetPaid has no partial payments feature, but you can add your own status as a label. It takes two filters in a small custom plugin or code snippet:

  1. Register the status with the getpaid_register_invoice_post_statuses filter. Add a key such as wpi-partial with the same arguments you would pass to register_post_status().
  2. Add the same key and its label to the wpinv_statuses filter so it appears in the invoice status dropdown.

GetPaid only counts Paid, Processing and Renewal invoices as paid, so an invoice with your new status still counts as unpaid and the customer can still pay the full amount online. Any amount actually received has to be tracked by you.

Yes, with a template override. A GetPaid invoice opens on its own full page template, wpinv-invoice-print.php, which prints the whole HTML page itself, so your theme’s header, footer and sidebar are not loaded.

  1. Copy templates/wpinv-invoice-print.php from the GetPaid plugin folder to your-child-theme/invoicing/wpinv-invoice-print.php.
  2. Build the layout you want around the do_action( 'getpaid_invoice', $invoice ) line, which prints the invoice.
  3. To change only the invoice itself, copy templates/invoice/invoice.php to your-child-theme/invoicing/invoice/invoice.php instead.

More detail is in how to override GetPaid templates in themes.
