Recurring billing - one time payment question

zork40dev — Tue, 17 May 2016 16:34:01 GMT

I need to schedule a one time payment using ARB, 35 days into the future. So, today being 5/17, the payment would need to occur on 6/21.
Will setting the payment schedule like this achieve that goal of charging the card on 6/21?

<paymentSchedule>
   <interval>
       <length>35</length>
       <unit>days</unit>
   </interval>
   <startDate>2016-05-17</startDate>
   <totalOccurrences>1</totalOccurrences>
</paymentSchedule>

@zork40dev The startDate attribute determines the first date you want us to run a transaction for that subscription.

You probably would want to set startDate to "2016-06-21", and leave totalOccurrences set to "1".

The settings under interval look fine but are largely irrelevant since you're trying to perform a one-off payment scheduled to start (and end) in 35 days.

I hope this helps!
