Different first payment amount

This article covers gifts made through GiveCampus. Payment and recurring-gift options depend on the institution and the form.

Ordinary recurring checkout has one installment amount, not an arbitrary first-amount/later-amount schedule. A special first amount can be collected as a separate one-time gift, followed by a regular recurring schedule when its first payment is due. Do not assume future-start controls on an ordinary form: the future-start UI is limited to eligible Smart Appeals. Confirm an eligible setup before creating a later schedule now, and avoid collecting the first month twice.
