Payment Plans are used for activities that require upfront cost or no upfront cost that you may wish to accept full or partial payments on. A payment plan allows the customer to choose full payment at the time of registration or choose to make payments following the payment plan.
Important Notes:
The system will automatically attempt to charge a customer's card on file on the date of each payment plan installment if the following criteria are met:
Your Organization has Auto Billing enabled
Your Merchant Provider supports saving cards on file, and this has been enabled for your Organization
Your Payment Plan has the Card on File field set to Optional or Required
Customers do not receive automatic reminders of upcoming payments. If this is desired, you can send an invoice from the Accounts Receivable (A/R) Center.
