# Recurring Giving

Members can schedule automatic weekly or monthly gifts from the web app or the mobile app.

Recurring giving is optional. Turn it on with **Giving - Enable recurring giving** under **Online Giving → Settings** (see [Setup](/add-on-features/online-giving/setup.md)).

### Setting Up a Schedule

In the web app, members open **Giving**, choose **Add Recurring Giving**, and select:

* **Payment Method** — a saved card or verified bank account.
* **Contribution Bucket** — the category to give to.
* **Amount**
* **Frequency** — **Weekly** on a chosen day of the week, or **Monthly** on a day from the 1st through the 25th.

In the mobile app, members choose **Setup Recurring** and follow the same steps.

### Limits

* A member can have up to **three** recurring schedules at a time.
* The minimum amount is $1.00.
* Schedules can't be edited or paused. To make a change, delete the schedule and create a new one.
* Recurring giving is only available to members.

### When Gifts Are Charged

Scheduled gifts are processed on the morning of the scheduled day (in your church's time zone). Members receive a receipt when a gift succeeds, or a **Scheduled contribution failed** email if it doesn't.

A schedule is skipped if Online Giving or recurring giving has been turned off, or if the person is no longer a member.

### Canceling a Schedule

Members can delete a recurring schedule at any time from the **Giving** page or the mobile app. A payment method that is used by a recurring schedule can't be removed until the schedule is deleted.
