    Customer and card details are taken from the original transaction. You only need to specify the new amount and reference (and the dates, frequency and length for a Repeat Payment Schedule).

    Tip

    Rerun

    - This

    allows you to run a new transaction on a previous

    customer

    transaction.

    Tip

    Repeat

    - This gives you the ability to set up a fixed payment schedule. You can choose the length of the Repeat Payment and the frequency (can choose from day/week/month/year but not 'x' amount of weeks, etc.)There is no ability to enter a start date, so it takes the first payment immediately. So if 5 payments are required in total, the cycle should be set to 4, not 5, so that it will repeat another 4 times after this initial payment)

    (FIXED) allows you to create recurring payments based on a past transaction.

    First, select the MID, type of transaction, fixed schedule and card payment. Then, enter the customer's full name, email, and a transaction reference (if applicable) that will be noted on the email receipt and transaction history.

    Now you can choose the start date and select a different amount for the initial payment. (This amount will replace the per payment amount for that cycle and is included in the number of cycles.)

    Select the frequency of payments and enter the amount per payment (minimum £1). Currency can be selected if enabled.

    Finally, choose the total number of payments to be taken in this Repeat payment schedule, and if desired, select a different date and amount for the final payment. (This will replace the date and amount of the final scheduled payment, so the date must be after the penultimate scheduled payment date. It will be included in the number of cycles.)

    Fill in the card and address details and click Charge.

    You will receive a transaction receipt, and the customer gets both a transaction receipt and an email describing the Repeat Payment that has been created.

    Tip

    Repeat (VARIABLE) gives you the ability to set up a payment schedule from a previous customer that contains multiple different payment amounts on any chosen dates.

    Firstly select the MID, type of transaction, and one-off payment. Next, enter the customer's full name, email and a transaction reference, if applicable - which will be noted on the email receipt and transaction history.

    Select the date and enter the amount for the first payment.

    Select the plus icon to add additional payment(s) and repeat the steps.

    Fill in the card and address details and click Charge.

    You will receive a transaction receipt, and the customer gets both a transaction receipt and an email describing the repeat payment that has been created.
