# What are recurring charges?

> How the Recurring Billing page tracks automatic charges for memberships, passes, and programs.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * **Monthly and yearly** recurring charges run automatically **once a day at 8 AM UTC** — you don't trigger them. Charges that bill **per session** aren't part of that daily run — they aren't charged automatically at all; use them to track per-session billing you collect yourself.
  * The guardian gets a **reminder email 3 days before** each charge that has a payment method on file — a charge showing **No payment method** sends no reminder.
  * A charge showing **No payment method** won't run until the guardian saves a payment method (a card or bank account).
</Note>

The **Recurring Billing** page (**Financials → Recurring Billing**) is where every automatic charge in your club lives — the ongoing tuition, membership dues, and pass renewals that bill families on a schedule.

Each row shows one charge. The **Source** badge tells you where it came from:

* **Pass** — a renewing pass.
* **Membership** — membership dues.
* **Program** — a recurring program enrollment (e.g. monthly tuition).
* **Manual** — a charge you set up by hand.

Other columns show the **guardian and athlete**, a **description** with the frequency (for example, monthly or yearly), the **Next Charge** date, the **Coverage Period** it pays for, the **Payment Method** on file, the **Status**, and the **Amount**. If none is saved, the payment method reads **No payment method** in yellow — that charge won't run until the guardian adds one.

The cards along the top summarize **Due Today**, **Upcoming (7 days)**, **Active Recurring**, and **Failed/Retry** so you can see at a glance what's coming and what needs attention. Use the status filter to see all the charges in one state, and the search box to find a charge by the athlete's name or the charge description (it doesn't search by the parent's name).

Charges are created automatically when a family buys something with recurring pricing — you manage them (pause, resume, cancel) from this page.
