If the user does not make any transactions on that card during that window, nothing will be paid. When the user signs up for the Manual Setting, there will be an option to pay the card’s monthly minimum, the full 15 days worth of transactions, or a set amount chosen by the user prior to payment.

Can I cancel any time?
