Creating schedules of payments that recur for a defined length of time

[andyg8]

Is there a way to set up a schedule of recurring payments, like in Paypal? There you can specify a trial period, an initial payment amount, a regular payment amount, an interval, and the number of intervals.

We'd like to create schedules like that for training courses held over a couple of years. We've looked through the documentation and may have missed it, but haven't found anything yet. Is it possible?

We can see that in Memberships we can give the customer the option to pay monthly - or any of a nicely flexible set of intervals - but there is no way to tell the customer how many monthly payments will be deducted, nor require them to pay in intervals.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, any payment processor that is enabled for recurring payments (including paypal) can be setup for a specific number of contributions, with your choice of frequency. It's configured as part of the contribution page (but will only show up if the payment processor is configured as enabled for recurring payments).
