Recurring PF

December 20, 2020 | Payment Form An easier way to schedule payments.

With this new feature, small businesses and non-profits can now have a way to automate the collection of payments and donations.  Payers can select from one-time, weekly, or monthly. 

 

Here's how it works. 

When a user is ready to pay using the standard Payment Form, they are given the option to make a One-time payment or a Recurring payment in the Payment schedule field. 

 

weekly vs monthly

 

If the users selects Recurring payment from the dropdown selector, they are then given the option to set the Payment schedule frequency in the accompanying dropdown. They can select from Weekly or Monthly.

After this initial payment is made, users will receive Payment Form payment reminder emails one day before each payment is due to be processed. Users will have the ability to cancel the recurring payment schedule at any time. They just need to click the accompanying link.

The business and non-profit are also kept abreast along the way.  They too will receive email notifications when a user has set up or deactivated recurring payments.

Recurring payments are live! 

Message:

I did not realize you accepted recurring payments. This will be great because my customers pay EACH month, so this should be good for them. I will let them know that they can now select recurring payment and set it up for each month. 

Thank you!!!

My goal is to build features that help small businesses spend less time learning software and more building their business. My team and I spend hours interviewing SMBs to understand their struggles. We use what we learn to make getting paid directly into their bank account as simple as possible.
