Repeat payments

Repeat payments for returning customers

Repeat payments give your customers the convenience of paying in instalments. Whether you want to offer greater flexibility or streamline recurring transactions, this feature lets you create custom schedules, set amounts, and choose dates that suit both parties. Recurring payments can be set up via paylinks, the Blink Payment API, the virtual terminal, or even from existing transactions — all managed seamlessly within the Blink Payment platform.

How does repeat payments work?
