Schedule payment Element

What is the Schedule payment Element?

The Schedule payment Element enables users to schedule a one-time payment to a vendor. When scheduling a payment, users can add payment details, such as funding payment method, a note for their vendor, and a process date for today or for a date in the future. Vendors will receive payments in their set payment method - ACH, virtual card, or check.

NOTE: Currently, users can schedule only one-time payments to US vendors.
