# Scheduled Payments

Scheduled Payments empower users to automate their payments, ensuring funds are sent at specific times without the need for manual intervention. Whether it's a one-time scheduled payment or at regular intervals, such as monthly payrolls, this feature streamlines the payment process, enhancing convenience, efficiency, and helping users stay on top of their financial obligations.

## Schedules

Schedules define the amount, token and frequency of the recurring payment. You can create a schedule using the web app.

[Schedules](/api/scheduled-payments/schedules.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Executions

A schedule can be executed once or multiple times depending on its frequency.

In order for executions to be performed, the user will need to have enough funds on its [Gas Wallet](/advanced-features/gas-wallet.md) to pay for blockchain fees.

An execution can fail if the sender hasn’t got enough funds on his wallet. In that case 8Pay will retry every 6 hours.

## Cancellation

Customers can cancel a schedule anytime from the web app and it will not be executed again.
