## Frequently asked questions

### How do payment plans help fill workshop seats?

Payment plans lower the barrier to entry. Participants commit with a smaller deposit and pay the rest over time, making higher-ticket workshops more accessible.

### Can I offer different payment options for the same workshop?

Yes. You can create multiple offers with different instalment structures - for example, a 2-payment plan and a 4-payment plan - and let participants choose.

### What if a participant wants to cancel?

Participants can cancel future instalments from their plan page. You control your cancellation policy and any refund terms.

### Can I use this for online courses?

Absolutely. Planpacer works great for online cohorts, hybrid programmes, and virtual retreats - anywhere you need structured payments. See the [course payment-plan guide](https://planpacer.com/training-course-payment-plans).
