Instalment payments are perfect for:

Collecting flexible instalments

With GoCardless, you can collect flexible recurring payments and give your customers greater control, whether it's weekly, monthly or quarterly. For example, you can spread the cost of $1,000 into three monthly payments with the first being $500, and the remainder $250.

Taking equal instalments

With GoCardless, you can break the sum into equal instalments – like paying $3,000 over three months at $1,000 each. As soon as the instalment plan is completed, the payments will be stopped automatically.
