Scheduled payments help maximize cash flow by automating future transactions. Follow these steps to set up a recurring or one-time future payment.

1. General Information

  • Destination Account: Select the processing account where funds should be deposited.

  • Client Details: Enter the client’s email address.

  • Description: Add a schedule description for internal tracking.


2. Choose Your Recurrence

Select the frequency that fits your billing needs:

Frequency

Setup Requirement

One Time

Enter a specific amount and a single future date.

Weekly

Set the interval (e.g., "2" for biweekly). The start date sets the day of the week.

Twice a Month

Select two specific dates (e.g., the 15th and the Last Day of the Month).

Monthly

(Default) Select the specific day of the month for the charge.

Yearly

Select a start date; the charge will repeat on that date annually.


3. Set the End Criteria

Determine when the payment schedule should stop:

  • When Canceled: Runs indefinitely until you manually stop it.

  • Number of Occurrences: Ends after a specific number of successful charges.

  • On Specific Date: Ends on a calendar date you choose.

  • When Amount Reaches: Ends once a total target dollar amount has been collected.
