"Combine Downpayment/Deposit with Recurring Invoice Schedule (Different Payment Methods)"
G
Guy Mayer
Enable the creation of an invoice schedule starting with a one-time payment (deposit) through one payment method (e.g., Credit Card), followed by recurring payments using a different method (e.g., Direct Debit). This is essential for service businesses that require deposits at the time of booking.

Hybrid Subscription Payments (Card Upfront + Direct Debit Ongoing)
J
James Bayley
In the UK (especially for gyms and membership businesses), it’s standard to:
• Take a joining fee + first month (or pro-rata) immediately via card
• Collect ongoing monthly payments via Direct Debit
• Set both up at the same time during checkout
Currently, GHL requires one payment method for subscriptions.
Feature request:
Allow subscriptions/contracts to support:
- Upfront charges via card (joining fee + first payment)
- Ongoing recurring payments via Direct Debit
- Both payment methods collected and authorised in a single checkout flow
This would make GHL far more suitable for UK gyms and membership businesses and reduce reliance on external billing platforms.
