- Selects an individual payer's recurring payment from the Manage view, clicks "View terms" and then clicks "Cancel future payments".

Common Questions
If I close a collection will recurring payments stay active?
Yes. If you close a collection, future recurring payments will remain active as scheduled.
Can I edit a recurring payment item?
It is not possible to edit a recurring payment item. Instead, the best course of action in this case, is to delete an existing recurring item (note that deleting a recurring item will also cancel any future recurring payments that someone may have signed up for) and create a new recurring item.
