Looking for App to allow partial checkout

Hello, anyone know if this App exist ?

Let's say a shopping cart contain certain number of items, I want to allow the user to select some of the existing items and proceed to checkout, the other items (not selected) will remain in the shopping cart, maybe for the next purchase.

I searched for "Partial checkout" and some other keywords, find nothing.

It shouldn't be too bad (from the shopper's viewpoint) if it's easy to transfer shopping cart items into something like a Wishlist (and then transfer them back the next time). A checkbox for each item and a "Move to Wishlist" button could do it (next to the "Remove" button). The only complication would be if you have more than one of a given item, and wish to move just part of the quantity to the Wishlist. That would have to be handled on an item-by-item basis. The next time the customer signs on, they would be greeted with "You have items on your Wishlist... do you wish to transfer all or part of them to your cart?". Notify the customer if there are duplicate items -- they may have forgotten that they put an item on their Wishlist, and have manually put it in the cart during shopping.

It's possible that a customer may wish to pay for part of the cart with one payment method, and the rest of it with one or more other methods. A payment system that permits multiple payment methods (in addition to using a gift card, store credit, or coupon) could be useful, although the intent would still be to pay for the entire cart in one transaction. It might be possible that certain items have to be paid for in certain ways (legal restrictions, etc. -- e.g., your beer and cigarettes can't be paid for with Food Stamps) while keeping out the rest of the cart from this payment method. In that case, first splitting up the cart into multiple "sub carts" might be the answer, or checking all items to be purchased by this payment method (and removed from the cart once payment goes through).

All sorts of things might be done with a shopping cart presented at checkout, to transfer Wishlist items in and out, or pay with multiple methods, or pay for certain items with specific payment methods. I think the base would be to have a checkbox for each item, and buttons to do various things (remove, change quantity, move to Wishlist, split quantity into multiple line items, pay with one payment method, etc.).
