Before you create an instalment order
Create a product in the UI with the product_type of instalment. Create a customer in the API or the UI, or by uploading a CSV file in the UI.
Products in instalment orders
In an instalment order, you can add one instalment product. You cannot split payments on a single payment product to create an instalment order. And you cannot charge the full price of an instalment product in a single payment order.
When you create an order, you can change the pricing unless the pricing configuration of the product is locked. You can specify custom amounts for discounts, fees, and taxes.
To sell an instalment product without a deposit, create it as a separate product. Do not change the initial amount to 0 because this can make the total amount of the order incorrect. To register a card when there is no deposit, charge the pre-authorisation amount. Contact BillPro customer service to get this amount.
You can change the scheduled_unit and scheduled_interval unless the payment configuration of the product is locked.
Order status
BillPro creates a payment link and makes the order pending. It does not send an Order is Ready email with the payment link to the customer.
Taking payments
Send the payment link to the customer by email, or integrate with the BillPro payment link feature to redirect the customer to the BillPro secure checkout.
For CardCorp merchant accounts, when you create an order, you can create a checkout in the payment gateway. You can use this checkout in an iframe integration. See Integrate with custom checkout and payment iframe. If the customer doesn't complete the transaction within 25 minutes, the checkout expires. Renew the checkout with the Renew Checkout request.
Notifications
BillPro sends payment reminders for Pending orders. You can change this setting in Payment Reminders.
Manage scheduled payments
Use the API or the UI to manage billing events for scheduled payments. You can skip or reschedule them.
Cancel old pending orders
Regularly cancel old orders with Pending status from the UI.
