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 that have been processed per this recurring transaction. The recurring transaction will no longer be processed when the current count is equal to or greater than the total count.
