Go to > Payment Request > Recurring Payment Request
Send an initial payment request, and then automatically charge your customer continuously (Ongoing Recurring Plan), or specify a period (Scheduled Payment Plan) with a defined end date.
Ongoing Recurring Plan
This is a continuous, ongoing payment plan. Payments are automatically processed weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly with no expiration date. The payment plan ends when a de-schedule is done on the Payment History page. You can set an ongoing recurring plan either with an initial payment or not but the recurring amount field must have a value which will be automatically charged to your customers’ card.
Scheduled Payment Plan
This is a recurring payment plan with a defined end date. An initial payment amount may or may not be entered but there must be at least two payments to constitute a schedule. The payment plan ends when either the last automatic payment is completed or a de-schedule is done on the Payments History page.
