Required dates, delayed payment, and payroll deduction

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

A single-payment pledge requires a payment date. Multiple installments require a first and last payment date and an offered frequency. The donor controls default the start to today and frequency to the first offered option; they do not read URL parameters for these three scheduling defaults. The minimum last date depends on frequency, and a configured maximum payoff date limits selection.

To collect a card now for payment in two months, the form must allow future automatic pledge payments and support the payment-information flow. Choose a single payment, select the future date within the permitted range, and enter payment information now. Confirm the displayed schedule before submitting. A pledge without payment information is a different flow and cannot charge a missing card.

The date and payment-choice controls are built into this pledge flow. Adding a payroll-deduction checkbox does not remove them or implement payroll collection. The pledge settings do not provide a control to remove the scheduled date; have support evaluate a different collection workflow if no scheduled fulfillment date is appropriate.
