Max Classic automatically charges a credit card when a customer makes a one-time purchase and elects to pay in multiple installments (payment plan) or when they purchase a subscription program that involves recurring billing. If a customer closes a credit card account or has other issues with their card, the auto-charges will not process. When this happens, you will not be able to collect the funds until the problem is resolved. You can set up billing automation that will alert both you and the customer that there is an issue with a credit card.
PayPal Transactions: Please note that orders and subscriptions that are paid with PayPal will not trigger Billing Automation.
