# Create payment plan

`POST /processing-terminals/{processingTerminalId}/payment-plans`

Use this method to create a payment schedule that you can assign customers to.  

**Note:** This method is part of our Repeat Payments feature. To help you understand how this method works with our Subscriptions endpoints, go to [Repeat Payments](https://docs.payroc.com/guides/take-payments/repeat-payments).  

When you create a payment plan you need to provide a unique paymentPlanId that you use to run follow-on actions:  

-	[Retrieve Payment Plan](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/repeat-payments/payment-plans/retrieve)  - View the details of the payment plan.  
-	[Update Payment Plan](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/repeat-payments/payment-plans/partially-update)  - Update the details of the payment plan.  
-	[Delete Payment Plan](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/repeat-payments/payment-plans/delete)  - Delete the payment plan.  
-	[Create Subscription](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/repeat-payments/subscriptions/create)  - Subscribe a customer to the payment plan.  

The request includes the following settings:  

-	**type** - Indicates if our gateway or the merchant collects payments. If the merchant manually collects payments, integrate with the [Pay Manual Subscription](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/repeat-payments/subscriptions/pay) method.  
-	**recurringOrder** - Amount of each payment if the gateway automatically collect payments.  
-	**setupOrder** - Setup fee that our gateway immediately collects from the customer's payment method.  
-	**onUpdate and onDelete** - Indicates what happens to associated subscriptions if the merchant updates or deletes the payment plan.
