What are Recurring Payments?

Recurring payments are often referred to as autopay.  Your customers give you authorization to charge cards or debit bank accounts to pay for goods or services on a regular, recurring basis.  Payments continue until the end of the billing term or until the customer cancels the service.

Recurring payments can be used to pay for any type of goods or services.  Most Americans regularly pay household bills, car loans, mortgage, rent, insurance and other monthly bills with autopay.  Recurring billing is a familiar and trusted payment method for US consumers.

Companies in all types of businesses use recurring billing models.  Common examples of recurring billing include subscriptions and memberships, entertainment, repayment of loans, property management, and health clubs.  However, businesses selling any type of product or service can benefit from recurring payments, particularly if the amount of the payment is the same over a period of time.

Recurring billing is also great for installment payments to make it easier for customers to pay for a higher ticket item over a period of time.  An example of this is “3 easy monthly payments of payments of $99.95”.  This is useful for all types of businesses.   In fact, even dentists and doctors commonly offer recurring payments for procedures that are not covered by insurance.

Recurring billing ensures prompt payments, protects cash flow, and reduces billing and collection expenses by automating payment processing.  Recurring payments enhance customer satisfaction by making it convenient for customers to do business with you.
