Payer Side (Making Payment):

  1. Authorization: Confirmation from the payer indicating their consent to initiate the recurring payments as requested. This authorization may be provided upfront for the entire series of payments or may be required for each individual transaction, depending on the agreement between the payer and payee.
  2. Payment Frequency: The interval at which payments will be made, corresponding to the frequency specified by the payee. The payer ensures that payments are initiated according to the agreed-upon schedule.
  3. Payment Amount: The fixed or variable amount to be paid for each recurring transaction. The payer ensures that the correct amount is transferred for each payment.
  4. Payment Start Date: The date on which the recurring payments will commence, as specified by the payee. The payer initiates payments starting from this date.
  5. Payment End Date (if applicable): The date on which the recurring payments will cease, if specified by the payee. The payer ensures that payments are not initiated beyond this end date.
