Installment Plans

Our Installment Plan feature allows you to split an invoice into multiple payments scheduled payments. Benji Pays will automatically process the installment payments for you on the selected dates. When you add an installment plan against an invoice Benji Pays will ignore the due date and the amount due and will follow your installment plan until the invoice is paid in full.  

Note: Auto Processing has to be enabled in order for Installment plans to be activated. Please see the following support article: Enabling a customer for Auto Processing
