Question

How to set up and use automatic / recurring payments

Answer

Openprovider offers 2 options for automatic / recurring payments;

- Keeping a positive balance
- Scheduled payments

Keep a positive balance

Set a threshold of a balance that you wish to maintain and a payment amount that you want to add to your balance. This scenario is ideal if you want to maintain a certain balance. We check the balance after each billable transaction and automatically execute the recurring payment to top up your balance.

Example:
Let’s say you want to keep a balance at €500,- and you set a payment of €200. If your account balance drops below €500, your account will be topped by an amount of €200. 

In case if your balance drops to €200 in one go, your account will be topped by an amount of €300 to get to the threshold that you have defined. 

Scheduled payments

Set a specific amount to be added to your balance every defined number of days.
This scenario suits you best, if you know that you normally add, say, €300 every 5 days to your account at Openprovider.

You may stop and/or edit your recurring payment at any time via your control panel.

A transaction fee (incl vat) may be charged. This will be displayed in the control panel.
