# What are payment plans?

> Let members pay a deposit at checkout and the rest in automatic instalments, and manage the charges under Recurring Billing.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * Available when a superadmin enables **Payment Plans** for your club (it also needs Uplifter's platform-wide payment-plans switch). The **Recurring Billing** page is hidden in the classic view.
  * Plans are only offered for one-time-priced programs sold as a whole, and their settings lock once anyone has enrolled on the plan.
  * A failed instalment is retried up to **3 times, at least 20 hours apart**; after that it is marked **FAILED**, the invoice becomes overdue and the account holder is emailed. There is no "instalment coming up" reminder email.
  * Charges run daily at 8 AM UTC.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Allow a plan on a league or program">
    In the program editor switch on **Allow payment plan** ("Let guardians pay a deposit at checkout and split the rest into automatic installments"). Set **Deposit (today)**, **# of installments** and **Cadence** (Weekly / Bi-weekly / Monthly). The preview reads "\{deposit} today, then \{count} × \{amount}".
  </Step>

  <Step title="Members choose it at checkout">
    A member paying by card sees the plan option, pays the deposit and saves the card; each instalment then charges that card automatically. **Pay at Club or by Mail** is not offered for a cart that needs a stored card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Follow the charges">
    **Financials → Recurring Billing** shows **Active Recurring**, **Due Today**, **Upcoming (7 days)** and **Failed/Retry** tiles, a filter (All / Active / Paused / Failed / Cancelled) and a table of Guardian / Member, Source (Program / Membership / Pass / Manual), Amount, Next Charge, Payment Method and Status, with **Pause**, **Resume**, **Retry** (on a failed charge) and **Cancel** actions. The invoice itself shows a **Payment plans** card with the instalment table.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Auto-renewing memberships appear on the same page. When a renewal charge fails, the invoice for that period stays owing (**Unpaid** or overdue) rather than disappearing, and a later successful charge settles that same invoice.
