Payment plan

If you have enabled a Pinch merchant account, you can give your members the option to pay their membership in instalments either via direct debit from their bank account or recurring credit card payments.

A payment plan can also be created manually via their profile if required, for example if a member is experiencing financial distress and cannot pay the entire membership fee at once.

IMPORTANT: The Pinch console should only be used for reporting purposes. It cannot be used to create payment plans.

Any payment plans created in the Pinch console will not be visible within Membes and may result in your members being charged multiple times.
