Overview
RecDesk allows you to create a Payment Plan for an Invoice to create multiple installments on the unpaid balance of an Invoice. A template will allow you to use the same template for multiple invoices and expedite the process.
To create a new Payment Plan Template, go to the Money tab and click on New Payment Plan Template.
Payment Plans
Installment payments can be: 1) Auto-Scheduled for Payment (see How do I set up a Household Stored Payment Option for Payment Plans? and Authorize.net), 2) Emailed to Customer for Online Payment or 3) Managed Manually in RecDesk Director.
