How to Use This Page
Recurring transactions are processed every day at 1:00 a.m. Pacific Time on the scheduled date. When a recurring transaction is processed, an automatic receipt is sent to the email address(es) associated with your PayTrace account. If you have access to the recurring transactions feature, simply log into your PayTrace account and go to the Recurring Payments Menu.
Click on the Edit Payment link from the Recurring Payments Menu.
Select the recurring payment you want to edit from the drop-down list of recurring transactions.
Modify any field that needs modifying.
Click the Modify Payment button.
To set up a recurring transaction, start by creating a customer profile with the billing information you want to use for recurring payments. The transactions will be processed overnight on their scheduled day, and you'll receive an emailed receipt at the address registered to your PayTrace account.

Repeat if declined __ consecutive days
Enter the number of consecutive days/times a declined payment should be retried. Please note that the payment will be processed by its frequency and count settings, regardless of this setting or transaction approval. ** For example: Set a recurring payment that is scheduled monthly to process 12 total times and is scheduled to start on 1/1/2009. If the second transaction (processed on 2/1/2009) is declined, and the user specified that it should be repeated 3 times, PayTrace will process the transaction on 2/2, 2/3, and 2/4, and then again on 3/1. If the transaction attempt on 2/3 was approved, PayTrace will not process the transaction again until 3/1.
Current Count
The current count represents the number of transactions processed per this recurring transaction. The recurring transaction will no longer be processed when the current count equals or exceeds the total count.
