• Schedule Payments – Create a payment for your customer simply by selecting the date and amount of the payment easily creating one-off or multiple payments for each customer.
• Collect on the Due Date – Payments are collected automatically on each date you set, with your customer notified in advance

Recurring Payments

• Create a Plan – Set the dates, amounts, and number of the payments you wish to collect, or collect on an ongoing basis.
• Invite Customers – Create a smooth sign-up process by setting up the Direct Debit at the same time as joining the plan.
• Collect payments automatically – Customers simply approve the payment plan before it starts meaning no further action is needed.
