Re: Missing an enumerated value for installment payment (acceptedPaymentMethod)

The reason is that this is not a payment method but a granular description about the timing and partitioning of payments. There is a need for a more advanced model for financing, deposits etc. But it is not yet there.

But adding a simple installment payment value does not really do the trick.

By the way: Whenever you feel the need to define additional payment methods (or additional values for enumerations in general), you can freely do so on your own site - so simply define an instance of e.g. http://schema.org/PaymentMethod on your site and use the URI of this entity as the value, like so:


<!-- on the payment info (or any other static) page, we define the 
     non-standard payment method -->
<h1 itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PaymentMethod" 
    itemprop="name" 
    itemid="http://acme.com/payment/#giftcard">ACME Gift Card</h1>
...

<!-- on the offer page, indicate this payment option -->
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Offer" itemid="#offer">
  <div itemprop="name">Hepp Technology Color TV</div>
  <div itemprop="description">This TV set is the ideal multimedia center 
for your home</div>
  Payment: 
  <link itemprop="acceptedPaymentMethod" 
     href="http://acme.com/payment/#giftcard" />ACME Gift Cards</a>
  <link itemprop="acceptedPaymentMethod" 
     href="http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#Cash" />cash
<!-- other offer properties follow here -->
...
</div>
