Card payment invoicing is a little bit different than the standard invoice that Nate sends. While it is still PayPal Credit Services that Nate is using, if you’d like to use a debit or credit card, and thus the auto-pay function, you first need to fill out a debit/credit card auto pay form.

Additionally, PayPal auto-pay (which they call “subscriptions”) requires each payment be in the same amount. Therefore, depending on your situation, you may have an oddly priced installment. Your installment price is just the total amount due by the end of the season, divided by the number of payments you requested, rounded to the nearest cent.

After you provide your auto-pay information and your first payment is processed, you will receive an email like the one below. You will also receive one of these each time a payment is made, but I encourage people to save the original so that you don’t have to wait on subsequent emails to come in. Please see the example below and read the notes to understand your auto-pay plan.

Top of your payment notification. Check your email for this on the same day your card is charged.

Bottom of a payment notification. This is where most of the pertinent information can be found. While it doesn’t explicitly say when your payments end, it will tell you when your payments started, how many are due to be made, and the frequency of payment.
