### Step 3: Move the payment schedule

1. Enter the number of days to **move the payment schedule forward** 
     - For example, enter **3 days** to shift a Monday billing to Thursday
2. Double-check your calculation — payments can’t be moved backwards
3. Click **Confirm change** to apply the change

> Tip: If unsure, shift by a smaller number of days first, review the new dates, then adjust again if needed.

## Expected outcome

The client’s future billing dates will shift forward by the number of days you chose — ensuring payments are better aligned with their preferred schedule or payday.

## FAQs

**Q: Can I move payments backwards if I make a mistake?**

A: No — payment schedules can only be moved forward. Always double-check your date math before confirming.

**Q: Will this affect already failed or overdue payments?**

A: No — this only applies to **upcoming future payments**. Failed charges will still need to be resolved separately.

**Q: Can I do this for paused or pre-sale memberships?**

A: This method works best on **active** memberships. Use the pre-sale instructions for early-stage members.
