Once you have a card saved in Card Storage you can set-up scheduled payments against it. In the schedule-new request you supply the references of the Payer and Payment Method to be charged and the specific schedule pattern to follow, for example weekly, monthly, on the last day of each month. You can specify the number of times for the scheduled payment to run, or alternatively, use an end date. You can also set the date for the schedule to begin (or after which it should start), otherwise the current date is used. The maximum frequency for schedules to run is daily. We provide a series of short-hand macros to easily set up a schedule such as daily, monthly, and bimonthly. You can also use cron expressions for more specific and advanced functionality. For more information please see the Macros & Cron Expressions article. Once executed, the response XML will include the element, this is a plain English text of the schedule created. You should ensure that it conforms to your intended payment schedule.
