Hi there,

I have a question regarding recurring schedules and the End Date of a gift.

Say a recurring gift is created today to process a payment of 50 dollars every month. If we were to set the End Date as the same date as one of the upcoming payments, would that last payment be triggered before the Gift is set to completed?

In this example, the first payment would be on 2022-04-01, the second would be on 2022-05-01, and the final payment would be on 2022-06-01. The End Date would also be 2022-06-01.

So would that last payment on 2022-06-01 still get created in this case?

Thanks,

Dylan

    @Dylan Hochreiter I am not sure if the payment on 6/1 would process in your example, but if you set the charge date as the 1st of the month and then had the end date be 2022-06-02 that would fulfill the 3 charges and then end further recurring charges.

    We were able to verify that the payment for 6.1 would process. The code looks at lapsed end dates that are after the date listed.
