Billing Events and Scheduled Payments

See an order's payments over time, and manage the ones still to come.

A scheduled payment is a planned future collection on an instalment, subscription or metered order. BillPro collects it on its scheduled_at date.

A billing event is one row in an order's payment timeline. It's either a scheduled payment or a standalone payment, such as a single payment. Refunds, captures and reversals sit inside the row they belong to.

Scheduled payment statuses at a glance:

  • scheduled: still to be collected.
  • complete and recovered: collected. recovered means it went through after a decline.
  • failed: a soft decline. rejected: a hard decline.
  • paused, review, skipped, merged and cancelled: on hold or closed.

To change a payment that's still to come, see Manage scheduled payments. To charge a metered order for usage, add a payment to it.
