Create Payment Runs with the Payment Scheduler

A payment scheduler sends out a payment run to collect electronic payments for outstanding invoices. You can configure it to run one time, or you can schedule recurring payment runs. (Salesforce Billing Managed Package)

1. From the payment scheduler list view, click New.
2. Choose a payment gateway.
   Payment schedulers require a value for their Payment Gateway field as of Salesforce Billing Winter ’19. If you upgraded from an earlier version, delete your currency payment run Apex jobs and re-create them as new payment schedulers with a value in the Payment Gateway field.
3. Set type to Once for a single run. Set Type to Daily, Weekly, or Monthly for recurring runs.
4. Choose a payment type.
   Salesforce Billing includes an account in the payment run if the account contains a payment method where the Auto Pay field is selected and the Payment Type value matches the scheduler’s payment type. You can also choose multiple values for the scheduler’s payment type. In this case, Salesforce Billing evaluates payment methods for the first value listed in the scheduler’s payment type. If that method type isn’t available, Salesforce Billing evaluates payment methods for the other value.
5. Set the target date for your run. This date represents when the single run occurs if you set the type to Once or when the first run occurs if you set the type to any other value.
   If your invoice date is before your scheduler’s target date, billing runs on the invoice date while charges run up until the target date.
6. If you’re creating a recurring payment run, set the target day of week or target day of month as needed.
   The target day of week is represented by a number, where 1 equals Sunday, and 7 equals Saturday.
7. Optional: Set a payment batch value. Your payment run targets only accounts with a payment batch value that matches the scheduler’s payment batch.
