Getting a Payment Plan Approved

To reduce chargeback risks, Suppli requires that every payment plan be approved by a customer.

Thus, after you click "Add Payment Plan," Suppli automatically sends an email and text notification to your customer asking them to approve the payment plan

Once your customer approves, the payment plan will be Active and the installment payments will automatically process per the terms of the plan.

Payment plans that require approval are indicated by a "Sent" status.

Payment plans that have been approved an "Active" status. 

Why Can't I Create a Payment Plan? 

A payment plan cannot be created if you have selected invoice(s) that have a pending payment or are already part of an existing payment plan. Additionally the payment plan option will not appear if you have selected invoice(s) across multiple customers

Payment Plan Convenience Fees

Depending on your Payment Settings, payment plans processed using cards may incur convenience fees.

How to cancel a payment plan

A payment plan can be cancelled at any time before its completion. To cancel a payment, select a payment plan from Customer Payments and click "Cancel Payment Plan" in the sidebar.

Once a payment plan has been canceled, it will be marked by a "Cancelled" badge, and future installment payments will no longer be processed. Please note that payments processed prior to canceling a plan will not be affected by this action. 

Automatically Cancelled Payment Plans

Payment plans are automatically canceled if any one of the following events occur:

  • A payment plan is not approved prior to the scheduled first installment

  • The payment method fails for a payment plan installment
