Understanding auto‑generated scheduled payments

Understanding auto‑generated scheduled payments

As of January 19, 2026, PlayerFirst will automatically create scheduled payments for any invoices that are 0 to 300 days old and don’t have a scheduled payment.

How automatic scheduled payments work:

When payments are created

  • Every qualifying invoice will get at least one scheduled payment.

  • If an invoice already has any scheduled payment (even if it’s partial), no new ones are added.

How due dates are determined

  • Each scheduled payment’s due date is based on the “Invoice Due Days Before Event” setting.

  • This setting defaults to a minimum of 14 days before the event start date, for all brands.

  • If a division has its own start date, that date is used instead of the program’s start date.

  • Products or items not tied to a roster/team always use the invoice due date instead of an event date.

How many payments are created

  • One scheduled payment is created for each unique event start date on the invoice.

  • Programs/divisions with the same start date are grouped into one scheduled payment.

What the payment amounts include

  • Each scheduled payment amount equals the total cost of all line items sharing that event start date.

  • Platform fees tied to those line items are included.

Examples

  • Scenario 1: Invoice already has a scheduled payment → No new payment added.

  • Scenario 2: One program, no scheduled payments → One payment created based on the program’s start date.

  • Scenario 3: Three divisions with different start dates → Three payments created, one for each date.
