phrasing question for invoice

[Bastet]

Hi everyone

Can someone please tell me the French expression for 'stage payment'

I need to send an invoice, by way of a receipt, but can't find the best way to say it. One web-based translator said paiment d'etape but it doesn't sound right to me. This is for my first clients so I want to make sure everything is 100%.

Thanks for any help offered![:)]
