This article covers the new, uplifted finances, which is currently only available to select customers.

You can made a few adjustments to an active recurring billing, such as to change the Payment Method attached. (Click the following links if you need to refund a payment or credit a future invoice for a recurring billing.)

Keep in mind that in the classic billing, you could adjust the next payment date. In the new finances uplift, you can’t adjust the next payment date. This change ensures that you have accurate records of payments and credits for all recurring billings. If you need to change the next payment date in new finances, you will need to inactivate the current recurring billing and create a new recurring billing to start on the new billing date.

If you need to stop a recurring billing, you inactivate it. Note that in classic billing, you could delete recurring billings; in new finances, you can’t delete an invoice or recurring billing to preserve all payment history.

2. On the Finances page or on the student’s profile, click the link in the Title column to open the recurring billing’s details. The title of the recurring billing will be the payment reason and the student’s name; for example, Membership for Student Name.
