Who this template is for
Payment Plan Request Form is built for advisers, brokers and finance teams who need to collect structured financial detail with a clear audit trail.
- Advisers, brokers and finance teams working in finance, insurance & tax.
- Teams who need to collect structured financial detail with a clear audit trail without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing incomplete applications that fail compliance review with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are clients and applicants — the form asks them 10 questions across 2 screens.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of incomplete applications that fail compliance review and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 6 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
- Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Proposed plan” is Custom, the form dynamically exposes “Describe the plan you are proposing”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Proposed plan” is not Custom, the form dynamically exposes “Proposed payment dates, one per line”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Amount you can pay now (USD)” is greater than 0, the form dynamically exposes “When can the first payment be made?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
About this template
A client who cannot pay in full usually stops replying, and silence costs far more than instalments. This form gives them a dignified way to say so. It asks for the original invoice amount, what they can pay immediately, and which plan shape they want — two, three, four or more payments, or something custom they describe themselves. The dates for each instalment are captured as text so a client can propose the schedule that matches their own receivables rather than one you imposed. An optional reason box tells you whether this is a temporary cash-flow gap or a business in trouble, which is the difference between agreeing terms and escalating. Because everything arrives in one structured record, you can accept, counter, or decline in a single reply and set reminders against real dates. Recovering eighty percent on a schedule beats writing off the whole balance, and clients who are treated like adults during a rough month tend to come back.

Set it up step by step
- 1
Send it with the second reminder
Offer the plan link before the balance ages past sixty days, while the client is still engaging.
- 2
Set the confirmation message
Use: "Payment plan tracked. We'll send a follow-up reminder." and link the invoicing article.
- 3
Confirm the accepted plan in writing
Reply with the agreed dates and amounts, and diary each one.
Mistakes to avoid
- Agreeing a plan verbally with no record of the dates.
- Accepting instalments that stretch past the point where you would have taken legal action.
- Continuing new work for a client already on a recovery plan.

Frequently asked questions
Should I charge interest on a plan?
Usually not on a short plan you want honoured. Reserve fees for plans the client breaks.
What if they miss an instalment?
Say up front that a missed date makes the full balance due. Then follow through on the first miss, not the third.
Does offering plans invite abuse?
Not when the link goes out only after an invoice is overdue and each plan is confirmed individually.
Can I collect card details here?
Do not put card numbers in a form. Send a payment link per instalment or set up a subscription in your payment processor.
