# Recurring Gift Payments

Much like pledge payments, recurring gift payments are used to track expected revenue from your recurring givers. Users have the option to create a schedule of payments or not when creating a new recurring gift. If no payments are generated, gifts cannot be matched to a recurring gift, as gifts can only be associated with recurring gift payments. Past due payments will result in a past due balance on a recurring gift. Any outstanding payments can be forgiven, if desired, to zero out any balance due.
