What are Scheduled Payments?
Scheduled Payments enables your customers to schedule future payments for their orders while maintaining your control over the payment process. When a customer schedules a payment, they will select their payment date according to your payment terms with them and a payment method. Then on the date of payment, the system will automatically process their payment and notify you and them about the transaction result.
How does the system calculate when customers can schedule payments?
The system calculates available scheduling dates based on the payment term configuration. You can see which payment term details affect this behavior in the following chart:
Configuration Field | Purpose | Impact |
|---|---|---|
Credit Period | Defines payment window | Required for automatic date range calculation |
EOM Checkbox | End of Month calculation | Affects payment due date calculation |
Prepaid Checkbox | Immediate payment required | Disables scheduled payments |
Status (Active/Disabled) | Term availability | Inactive terms disable scheduled payments |
| Tip |

We recommend that you set up your payment terms according to our standard term recommendations to ensure a seamless scheduled payment experience. |

When you override a scheduled payment, the system will cancel the scheduled payment and notify your customer via email.
