Hi Everyone,

**Solution - Manual Charging of 2-Payment Plan**  
Normally our customers use order forms when choosing a 2-payment plan, via the Internet.

Here is our order form 2-payment radio button option, the normal way people pay via a radio button selection. The first payment happens immediately and then the second payment is charged in 28 days time.

**Manual Billing Method**  
I want to share how to process a 2-payment plan via manual billing, for it took some working out. Hoping this knowledge might help someone else in the future.

When manually processing this same 2-payment plan it takes some careful selection of options.

Having selected the card on file and put in a (fake) CVC in this example, you get to select the payment plan details.

The initial payment is $199.50 and the **plan start date** controls the second payment timing.

There is only one payment after the initial payment and days between payments actually doesn’t matter (in a two payment situation). If the payment plan had more than two payments then days between payment would be significant.

**Failure Examples**  
This configuration confused me for the following examples did **not** work as expected.

Full payment was charged **immediately** (using 1 day between billing in the test example).

Half payment was charged twice **immediately** (using 2 days between billing in the test example).

I hope this information helps someone with the same confusing challenge!
