Create a schedule – Existing transaction

This guide will lead you through the simple process of setting up recurring payments from an existing successful payment. 

Find a transaction

  • First, locate an existing successful SALE from Recent blink transactions page, or Blink card transactions page.

  • Select the “Action” button at the end of the line, and then the “Repeat” button. 

  • The reference for this schedule can be customised here. 

    • The customer's full name and email are picked up from the original transaction and cannot be edited here. 

    • The currency is also picked up from the original transaction, and cannot be changed here 

  • Next, select the schedule type from the dropdown. 

Fixed schedule 

  • First, choose the start date.  

    • If today is chosen, it will process that initial payment immediately. 

  • You have the option to choose a different amount for the initial payment.

    • This first payment is included in the number of payment cycles you choose later

  • Select the frequency of payment and enter the amount per payment, starting from £1.  

  • The currency may also be selected here, if settings permit. 

  • Finally, choose the total number of payments to be taken in this Repeat payment schedule. 

    • If a limited number of instalments is selected, you can customise a different date and amount for the final payment. (It will be included in the number of cycles)
      This will replace the date and amount of the final scheduled payment, so the new date must be after this last scheduled payment date.  

  • Fill in the card and address details and click Charge

  • Both the merchant and the customer will receive a confirmation email describing the repeat payment schedule that has been created, and if the initial payment was today, a transaction receipt too.

    • If the initial payment date is a future date, only the confirmation email will be sent

 

Variable schedule 

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

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

    • Please note: The date for each instalment must be after the previous instalment date 

  • Fill in the card and address details and click Charge

  • Both the merchant and the customer will receive a confirmation email describing the repeat payment schedule created and, if the initial payment was today, a transaction receipt too.

    • If the initial payment date is a future date, only the confirmation email will be sent
