--- title: "Change next payment dates" description: "Shift a subscriber's scheduled orders, or align them on a day of the month, or shift the payment date of several orders by a few days at once." url: https://www.ciklik.academy/en/gestion-commandes/modifier-la-date-des-prochains-paiements/ lang: en lastUpdated: 2026-10-09 --- # Change next payment dates > Box store > > This page applies to box stores hosted by Ciklik. PrestaShop renewals do not go through scheduled orders: change the subscription’s Next Billing field instead. Using the PrestaShop module? [See the PrestaShop documentation](https://www.ciklik.academy/en/prestashop/). Two actions change the payment date of **scheduled** orders (state “Scheduled”): | Action | Where | What for | | ----------------------------- | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Change Next Payment Dates** | Order details | Shift a subscriber’s orders by days, weeks or months, or align them on a day of the month | | **Shift payment dates** | Order list | Shift the selected orders by 1 to 3 days, for example before a closure | To postpone the payment of the subscription itself, see [Reschedule a payment](https://www.ciklik.academy/en/paiements/decaler-un-paiement/). ## Change Next Payment Dates The action is offered on the details of an order with the “Scheduled” status whose **Next Payment** date has not passed. 1. From **Sales > Orders > Orders**, open the order. You can also find it in the **Order** section of the subscription details. 2. In the actions menu, choose **Change Next Payment Dates**. 3. In the **Mode** field, choose **Shift** or **Align to day of month**, fill in the mode’s fields (see below), then confirm. ### “Shift” mode | Field | Effect | | --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Interval** | Month, Week or Day | | **Number** | Number of intervals to add. A negative value brings the date forward: a red message warns that it may fall in the past. At most 12 months, 26 weeks or 90 days | | **Extend Next** | Ticked: the order and all following scheduled orders of the subscription are shifted. Unticked: only this order moves | | **Extend Deliveries** | With **Extend Next** ticked, the subscription’s upcoming shipping slips are shifted by the same amount. No effect when only the order is shifted | The message “Dates have been updated.” confirms the operation. ### “Align to day of month” mode This mode moves all scheduled orders of the subscription to the same day of the month, for example to group a subscriber’s charges on the 1st or the 15th. | Field | Effect | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Target day of month** | Day between 1 and 28. The limit of 28 guarantees the day exists in every month, February included | | **Extend Deliveries** | The shipping slips of each aligned order are scheduled the day after its new payment date | The calculation applies to each “Scheduled” order of the subscription whose next payment date is today or later: - before the target day in the month: the order is brought forward to the target day of the current month; - after the target day: it is moved to the target day of the following month; - already on the target day: it does not move. Paid, failed or other orders are not changed. The message “Orders have been aligned” confirms the operation. **Example**: alignment on the **1st of the month** for a subscription with 3 scheduled orders. | Order | Current date | New date | | ----- | ------------ | -------- | | 1 | March 24 | April 1 | | 2 | April 21 | May 1 | | 3 | May 19 | June 1 | ## Shift the payment dates of several orders The **Shift payment dates** action changes the next payment date of several scheduled orders at once. It is useful before a closure (holidays, public holidays), so that no charge goes out while you are away. 1. **Filter the orders** From **Sales > Orders > Orders**, use the filters: - **State**: “Scheduled”; - **Next Payment After**: start of the period to shift; - **Next Payment Before**: end of the period to shift. 2. **Select the orders** Tick the orders to shift, or use the “select all” box of the page. 3. **Run the action** In the actions menu, choose **Shift payment dates**. 4. **Choose the shift** The **Number of days** field offers -3, -2 and -1 day(s) to bring the date forward, +1, +2 and +3 day(s) to postpone it. 5. **Confirm** Safeguards: - **Only scheduled orders** are changed. Paid, failed or cancelled orders are skipped. - **A date that would fall in the past is refused**: the order is skipped. - **A summary message** tells how many orders were shifted and how many were skipped. **Example**: you close from March 15 to 18 and several subscribers have a charge on March 16. Filter with “Next Payment After” = March 15, “Next Payment Before” = March 18 and State = “Scheduled”, select all orders and run **Shift payment dates** with **+3**: the March 16 charges move to March 19. ## See also [Reschedule a payment](https://www.ciklik.academy/en/paiements/decaler-un-paiement/) [Order statuses and actions](https://www.ciklik.academy/en/gestion-commandes/gestion-des-commandes-des-abonnes/) [Automatic payment setup for subscribers](https://www.ciklik.academy/en/paiements/parametrage-des-prelevements-automatiques-pour-les-abonnes/)
