2. Ensure recurring options are enabled on the form

1. Configure the form to display recurring options such as weekly, monthly, or quarterly 

2. These options will appear to donors when completing the form 

Step 3: Configure confirmation settings 

1. In the form settings, decide whether to send confirmation emails for each payment processed 

2. Look for the checkbox labeled "Send an additional confirmation receipt when each recurring payment processes" 

Step 4: Test and publish your form 

1. Test the form to ensure recurring options display correctly 

2. Publish the form to make it available to donors 

3. When donors select a recurring option and submit the form, their commitment will be automatically created
