- Reschedule a Sezzle installment in the app before its due date, moving it up to two weeks later.
- The first reschedule is often free; later ones can cost up to $7.50, still usually cheaper than a failed payment.
- Sezzle Cash follows its own schedule, and frequent reschedules signal it's time to pause new orders.
How to reschedule a Sezzle payment
- 1
Open the Sezzle App and go to your orders.
- 2
Select the order with the upcoming installment.
- 3
Tap the installment and choose reschedule.
- 4
Pick a new date — up to two weeks later.
- 5
Review any fee and confirm.
What to check before you confirm a new date
Picking a new date in the Sezzle app takes seconds. Picking the right one takes a little thought.
- Your next payday. Choose a date after the money actually lands, not the day it's expected.
- Your other installments. Moving one payment can stack it on top of another due the same week.
- Your bills. Rent, utilities and other auto-debits compete for the same paycheck.
- The fee on screen. Confirm whether this reschedule is free or carries a charge.
Example: a delayed paycheck
Suppose an installment is due on a Friday, but your employer moved payday to the following Tuesday. Reschedule to Wednesday or Thursday — a day or two after the deposit — rather than Tuesday itself, so a slow transfer doesn't cause a failed payment.
After you confirm, open the order again and check the updated schedule. Make sure the new date shows and that the remaining installments are where you expect them.
Reschedule fees and limits
The first reschedule on an order is often free. Additional reschedules can cost up to $7.50 each, and some shoppers may reschedule up to three times per order. Subscribers to Sezzle Premium or Anywhere may get extra free reschedules. Always check the fee on screen before confirming.
Why the reschedule option might be missing
Sometimes the reschedule button simply isn't there. The app usually shows the reason on the order, but these are the most common causes:
Rescheduling generally works only before an installment is due.
There is a limit per order.
Bringing the account current may need to come first.
Sezzle Cash advances follow their own repayment terms.
If you can't reschedule, contact support through the Sezzle app before the due date. Explain what you can pay and when — it's much easier to work something out before a payment fails than after. Our Sezzle customer service article lists the best ways to reach them.
What to have ready when you contact support
- The order and the installment you need to move
- The date you can realistically pay
- Whether you can pay part of it sooner

When rescheduling makes sense
| Situation | Best move |
|---|---|
| Payday moved a few days later | Reschedule now, before the due date |
| Unexpected bill this week | Reschedule the smallest installment that solves the gap |
| Regularly short every due date | Stop new orders and rebuild your budget |
“A reschedule is a tool, a failed payment is a penalty. Compare up to $7.50 with a failed-payment fee of up to $6.95 plus a possible late fee of up to $16.95 and a bank NSF fee — rescheduling early wins every time.”
— Priya Natarajan, Fact-Check & Compliance ReviewerAlternatives when rescheduling isn't enough
A reschedule moves a problem two weeks down the road. If the gap is bigger than that, look at these options first.
- 1Return what you can
If the order is still within the merchant's return window, a refund reduces your remaining installments.
- 2Switch the payment method
If one account is short but another isn't, update the default before the due date.
- 3Pause new orders
Stop adding installments until the current ones are under control.
- 4Talk to a counselor
A nonprofit credit counselor can help you rebuild a budget that covers everything.
Avoid taking a new advance just to cover an installment. Using Sezzle Cash to pay a Sezzle order, or one BNPL plan to pay another, usually makes the next due date harder. See what happens if you miss a Sezzle payment to understand the stakes.
Can you reschedule Sezzle Cash?
Sezzle Cash installments follow their own schedule. If you cannot make a SezzleCash payment, open the advance in the app to see your options and contact Sezzle support before the due date.
