# Payments & Invoices

The Payments & Invoices tab controls how new events are prepared for scheduled payments, online payment methods, payment notifications, invoices, and default invoice numbering.

This tab contains three related areas:

* **Payment Configuration** describes whether a payment schedule is enabled and which payment methods and fee choices are available.
* **Default Payment Schedule** defines the scheduled payment rows copied into new events.
* **Invoice Settings** defines invoice recipients, notification attachments, and reusable invoice text. Invoice numbering is maintained separately below the invoice settings.

The values are defaults copied when an event is created without an event template. An event can then have its own payment and invoice setup.

The image below shows Payment Configuration and Default Payment Schedule together on the Payments & Invoices tab.
