When charges are processed

Recurring charges are processed once a day, a little after midnight PT. When you set up a recurring payment, it won't be processed the same day. The earliest it can start is the next day.
When funds are deposited into your account
Recurring payments get deposited in your bank account within a few business days. The time of funding is the same as your other merchant account transactions.
What your customer sees on their credit card statement
Each time there’s a recurring charge, the transaction appears on your customer's credit card statement. The charge description your customer sees is the same description that appears for all your merchant account transactions.

- Daily
- Weekly
- Monthly
- Yearly
Example, you can charge your customer every 4 days or the 2nd Tuesday of every other month.
