📆 What Is a Custom Payment Schedule?
Custom payment schedule is the feature where you can create multiple payment installments (aka payment plan) for a specific invoice. Typically this is being used to spread revenue streams over the period of time and usually it's being aligned with the expenses you as a business incur associated with the event or a project the invoice belongs to.
🧾 How to Create Multiple Installments
The multiple installments option is only available for itemized invoices. Quick invoices, as the name suggests, are designed for one‑off payment requests and do not support spreading payments over time.

⚙️ How Does It Work?
Maroo offers a convenient way to schedule multiple payments in one go, so you don’t have to worry about tracking, invoicing, or reminding your clients — we handle that for you.
To schedule multiple payments, simply add the due date, choose whether the installment is an absolute value ($) or a percentage of the total contract (%), and enter the amount in the input field. Then click + Add Payment to create it within the same invoice.
You can also customize your installment names — for example, Deposit, Retainer, Balance, or others. Just click on the installment name and edit it to fit your needs.
ℹ️ Maroo has built‑in logic that ensures your last payment always balances the total contract amount, regardless of how many installments were created initially.
Additionally, you can control automatic payment reminders by turning the respective checkbox on or off. 👉 Click here to learn more about how payment reminders work in Maroo.
