Add a Recurring Payment
Prior to setting up a recurring payment you'll need to have a contact record created and an account stored to run payments against.

Transaction Amount* (the amount you want the contact to be charged for each payment)
Select Tags (if applicable)

After __ Payments - # of payments that you want the merchant to be charged (this will auto-populate the Trx End Date and the Total Amount that will be collected at the end of the recurring transaction).

The system allows you to have as many recurrings set up as you want. You can set up multiple recurrings to accommodate scenarios such as:
Running on the 1st and 15th every month
- Set up two recurrings: one that runs once a month on the 1st and one that runs once a month on the 15th
Tiered pricing scenarios
- Set up two recurrings: Each should have the appropriate start date, dollar amount, interval, and stop after x payments set. For example, a customer signs up for a service with tiered pricing to begin January 1st and end after 6 months where the pricing for the last three services is reduced. Setup the first recurring to begin Jan. 1st running every 1 months to end after 3 payments at $100. Setup the second recurring to begin April 1st running every 1 months to end after 3 payments at $50.
