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.
