# Automatic payment setup for subscribers

> Box store
>
> This page applies to box stores hosted by Ciklik. Using the PrestaShop module? [See the PrestaShop documentation](https://www.ciklik.academy/en/prestashop/).

## Most Common Case

In most cases, you offer monthly or bi-monthly boxes. We recommend configuring monthly box plans as follows:

- **automatic payment** for all subscribers **on the 1st of the month**
- **billing cutoff** on the **10th of the month**

In case of payment failure, with the default setting of 3 days between two attempts, **payment retry attempts** will be generated on the 4th, 7th, and 10th of the month (see [Payment retry: Rebill](https://www.ciklik.academy/en/paiements/tentatives-de-prelevements-rebill/)).

Depending on your organization, you can schedule 2 waves of box shipments: on the 1st and 11th of the month.

> Note
>
> The recommended setup with a **Start Billing Day** on the 1st and a **Close Billing Day** on the 10th properly covers 30 days between two payments (for a monthly plan). The only impact is on the first month of sales - if someone subscribes between the 1st and 10th of month M, they will be charged again on the 1st of month M+1.

Transaction amounts are transferred to your account every day, 7 days after they are collected. You can view transfer details in **Sales > Payments > Transfers** (see [Stripe transfer tracking](https://www.ciklik.academy/en/paiements/suivi-des-virements-stripe/)).

## Weekly Plan Case

The billing period from the 1st to the 10th can be entered. However, in your plan settings, you should not check the **Fixed Periods** checkbox (see [Create a plan](https://www.ciklik.academy/en/abonnements/creer-une-formule/)). The subscriber will then be charged weekly, based on their order date.
