Create a Scheduled Payment Run

Learn how to create a scheduled payment run that automatically executes on a set schedule, collecting payments for outstanding invoices with auto-pay enabled.

Scheduled payment runs create a new payment run number each time the scheduled payment run executes. When the scheduled payment run executes for that day, week, or month per the schedule, such an executed payment run will show a Completedmessage if the run was successful or an Statusstatus if the run failed.

Because the next run is in the future, the scheduled payment runs that have not been executed show a status of Pending .

To create a new scheduled payment run:

The target date is the day you are collecting the payments for. The run will collect outstanding invoices that have auto-pay enabled and that have been posted.

The time of day should be considered in relation to when a bill run will complete. As one example of a good billing schedule, schedule your bill run at midnight. Allow time in the morning to review your bill run and post at 8 am. Schedule your payment run at 11 am after review.

  1. Navigate to Payments > Payment Runs in the left navigation section.
  2. Click new scheduled payment run .
  3. Perform steps 3-7 from the Create a Payment Run section.
  4. Enter the date on which you want the scheduled payment run to begin. This is the date the first scheduled payment run will launch.
  5. Select the time of day the scheduled payment run should execute (the time zone is Pacific time).
  6. Determine when the scheduled payment run should repeat by selecting Does not repeat , Daily , Weekly , or Monthly .
    • If you select Does not repeat , you are running what is effectively a single payment run.

    • For Weekly , select the day or days of the week on which the payment run should execute, and enter a range of dates during which the payment runs are to run.

    • For Daily , enter a range of dates during which the payment runs are to run every day.

    • For Monthly , enter a range of dates during which the payment runs are to run every month.

  7. Click create payment run to save and launch the scheduled payment run.
