# Is the customer there when each payment is taken?

[Charge a customer again](https://devportal.qa.winkpg.io/docs/decide/charge-a-customer-again.md): Whether repeat payments run on a contract the platform bills, on a schedule of your own, on an invoice, or at your checkout, and what the card networks need from each.

The card networks classify every charge on a stored payment method by this, and the platform reports it to the processor for you.

**Choose one**

- [No. We charge them without asking each time.](https://devportal.qa.winkpg.io/docs/decide/charge-a-customer-again/is-there-a-fixed-amount-and-schedule.md): A subscription, an installment plan, or a charge after the order.
- [Yes. They agree to each payment as it happens.](https://devportal.qa.winkpg.io/docs/decide/charge-a-customer-again/how-the-customer-pays-each-time.md): They come back to buy again, or they pay a bill you send them.
