Payment Plan Agreement

A simple, no-interest layaway. Every plan completes within 4 months and your beef ships once it's paid in full.

Last updated: May 10, 2026

Plans are limited to 4 months (120 days)

Every Pasture payment plan must be paid in full within 120 days of the deposit. No plan may extend beyond that window. The exact final payment date for your order is shown at checkout and on your order page.

25% non-refundable deposit

A deposit equal to 25% of the total order price is charged at checkout to reserve your share. The deposit is non-refundable from the moment your order is placed.

Pasture's platform commission is 10% of the order total. A portion of your deposit equal to that 10% commission is retained by Pasture as an advance, and the remainder of the deposit is released to the processor immediately so they can schedule your animal and reserve delivery capacity. All payments collected after the deposit are held by Pasture until delivery is confirmed; at that point the remaining commission is finalized and the held funds are automatically released to the processor.

Payment frequency and schedule

You may choose either biweekly (every 14 days) or monthly (every 30 days) installments. The number and size of installments are shown on the listing and on your order confirmation, and are sized so that your final payment lands on or before day 120.

Automatic recurring billing authorization

By placing an order you authorize Pasture (via Stripe) to charge the payment method on file for every scheduled installment until the order is paid in full or cancelled.

Price lock

The price you see at checkout is locked for the duration of your active payment plan only. Vendors are not required to lock pricing beyond your selected order term, and new plans started after your plan ends may be priced differently.

Failed payment retries

If a charge fails, we will email you and automatically retry the card up to three times over a seven-day window. You may update your payment method at any time from your dashboard.

Grace period

Each missed installment carries a seven-day grace period. During the grace period your order remains active and no late fee accrues.

Default rules

If a payment is more than 30 days past due, or if the plan cannot complete within the 120-day cap, Pasture may declare the plan in default, cancel the order, and retain the deposit and any partial payments to cover vendor commitments and platform costs already incurred.

Orders must be paid in full before delivery

Vendors will not schedule processing or delivery until the full balance has cleared. Once your final installment is received, your order is queued for the vendor's next delivery window.
