Xplor schools allow schools to import existing recurring payments that use "Bank Transfer" as the payment method.
NOTE: If an existing recurring payment plan uses "Credit Card" as the payment method, these recurring payment plan will have to be manually entered into Xplor. This is so that we maintain PCI compliance when handling credit card details.
