Recurring Payments {#sa-recurring-payments}
===========================================

Your merchant ID must be enabled to process recurring payments. You must specify the amount and frequency of each payment and the start date for processing recurring payments. `Cybersource` creates a schedule based on this information and automatically bills the customer according to the schedule.

> Include the appropriate endpoint that supports the ` authorization,create_payment_token ` or ` sale,create_payment_token ` transaction types. See [Endpoints and Transaction Types](/docs/cybs/en-us/sa/developer/all/sa-checkout/secure-acceptance/sa-payment-txns/sa-endpoints-txn-types.md ""). For descriptions of all request and response fields, see [Checkout API Fields](/docs/cybs/en-us/sa/developer/all/sa-checkout/secure-acceptance/sa-wm-api-fields.md "").
> The amount field is an optional field that indicates the setup fee for processing recurring payments.
> Example: Creating a Recurring Billing Payment and Token
