Scenario
This payment can be used when a periodic and fixed amount of each installment needs to be collected. Customers only need to authorize their card once, and ECPay will process authorizations periodically according to the settings. The payment page will display the amount for each purchase, the number of installments (i.e. the frequency), and number of authorizations. It can be set to “once every x days” or “once every x years”, and the number of payments (authorizations) can be predetermined.
- Step 1. Merchant：Set the ChoosePayment payment method to Credit.
- Step 2. ECPay：accepts order from merchant and check details.
Special Note：
- Merchants should apply for the installment periods with ECPay firstly before using this function. The periods that can be used are only those approved after merchants apply with ECPay.
- It is not possible to set the parameters for installment payments at the same time.
- Stage environment: Please use the credit card test number provided by ECPay to simulate payment.
- If the deduction fails six times, the periodic fixed-amount payment will be cancelled.
