The charge date of a recurring donation depends on each subscription's payment gateway.

  • Gateways that charge on their own (Stripe, PayU, Pagar.me): the gateway decides when to charge, not AFRUS.
  • Recurrent Payments: the charge day depends on the day the donor paid and moves earlier over time, possibly until it reaches the first day of the month.
  • Subscriptions charged by the AFRUS engine: you can choose the charge day with the "Modificar" (Modify) button in the subscription detail.

Recurrence settings

In Ajustes de Organización > Servicio de recurrencia (Organization settings > Recurrence service) your organization can choose Modo mejorado (Enhanced mode: Standard or Charities), Periodicidad (Frequency: monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual) and Modo de reintento (Retry mode: Standard retries, Charities retries or Custom). The screen says changes apply to the next billing cycles.

Frequently asked questions

How many times is a charge retried?

With Recurrent Payments, 7 to 10 charge attempts are made each month, and the donation is charged monthly, with no limit, until your organization cancels the subscription. With credit cards, by default 3 retries are made over 12 consecutive months before the subscription is cancelled. You can adjust the retries in Ajustes de Organización > Servicio de recurrencia (Organization settings > Recurrence service).
