Choosing your payment schedule dates

Select when your monthly payments are due - same date as purchase, 1st, 5th each month.

After selecting how many installments (2, 3, or 4), you choose WHEN each monthly payment is due. AlyaPay offers four date options to match your income schedule.

Four payment date options

When completing your purchase on your phone, select one of these dates for your monthly payments:

Same Date as Purchase

Payments due on the same day each month as your purchase

Example: Purchase on January 10

  • Jan 10 (first payment)

  • Feb 10, Mar 10 (remaining payments)


1st of Each Month

All payments due on the 1st

Example: Purchase on January 10

  • Jan 10 (first payment)

  • Feb 1, Mar 1 (remaining payments)


5th of Each Month

All payments due on the 5th

Example: Purchase on January 10

  • Jan 10 (first payment)

  • Feb 5, Mar 5 (remaining payments)

How to choose

Match your salary date:

Your Payday

Recommended Payment Date

End of month (27-31)

1st of month

1st-3rd of month

5th of month

Any other date

Same date

Other date

The same chosen date each month

Rule of thumb: Choose a date 2-3 days after your salary arrives.

At checkout (on your phone)

After selecting your plan, tap one option:

  • Same date

  • 1st of each month

  • 5th of each month

Important notes

First payment always today - Regardless of date choice

Remaining payments - Will be on your selected date

Cannot be changed - Choose carefully before confirming

All purchases can have different dates - Choose per purchase

Tips for success

Choose 2-3 days after payday - Ensures funds are available

Consider other bills - Don't overlap with major expenses

Check existing purchases - Avoid too many payments on same date

Enable notifications - Never miss a payment reminder

Keep payment method updated - Ensure card is valid

Multiple purchases, different dates

You can have multiple purchases with different payment dates:

Example:

  • Purchase 1: Payments on 1st of month

  • Purchase 2: Same date (20th of month)

Tip: Spread payment dates across the month to manage cash flow better.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Can each purchase have a different date?

A: Yes! Select a date for each new purchase.
