Yes, you can reschedule a payment on Zip, but only before the due date and only once per order
Zip lets you move your payment due date back by up to two weeks, but the request has to go in before the original due date arrives. You cannot reschedule a payment that is already late, and you get only one reschedule per order—if you need to move it again after that, you will have to contact Zip support directly and explain your situation.
The reschedule option lives in the Zip app or on the Zip website under your active orders. You will see a "Reschedule Payment" button or link next to the order you want to move. Tapping it shows you the new date Zip is offering (usually 14 days out from your current due date) and asks you to confirm. Once you confirm, the change is locked in and a new due date appears on your account.

How to reschedule through the Zip app
Open the Zip app and go to the "Orders" or "Purchases" tab. Find the order you want to reschedule and tap into it. You will see payment details including the current due date. Look for the "Reschedule Payment" button—it usually appears near the top or in a payment details section.
Tap the button and Zip will show you the new proposed due date. Review it to make sure the new date works for you, then confirm the reschedule. You will get an on-screen confirmation and a notification in the app. The new due date now shows on your account and in any payment reminders Zip sends you.
How to reschedule on the Zip website
Log into your Zip account on the web and navigate to "My Orders" or "Active Purchases." Click on the order you need to reschedule. The payment section will display your current due date and a "Reschedule Payment" link or button.
Click it and confirm the new date when Zip presents it. The reschedule takes effect immediately. You can check your updated due date by returning to that order's details page or by looking at your account dashboard, which usually shows all upcoming payment dates at a glance.
What happens if you miss the reschedule window
If your payment due date has already passed, the reschedule button disappears from your account. At that point, your payment is considered late, and rescheduling is no longer an option you can use on your own.
Contact Zip support through the app, the website, or by phone to discuss what comes next. Late payments can affect your account status and may trigger reminder messages or collection attempts. Zip support can sometimes work with you on a payment plan or a one-time extension, but this is handled case-by-case and is not may provide. The sooner you reach out after missing a due date, the more options you may have.
What to do if you have already used your one reschedule
Once you reschedule an order once, you cannot reschedule it again through the app or website. If you need to move the new due date, you will have to contact Zip support directly. Call the number on the back of your Zip card, use the in-app chat feature, or visit the Zip website and select "Contact Us."
Explain your situation to the support team. They can see your account history and may be able to grant a second reschedule or work out a different arrangement, but this is not automatic. Having a clear reason—a delayed paycheck, an unexpected expense—makes it more likely they will help. Do not wait until the new due date passes; reach out before it arrives.
How rescheduling affects your Zip account and credit
Rescheduling a payment before the due date does not hurt your credit score or your Zip account standing. It is a normal feature Zip offers, and using it once per order does not flag your account or mark you as a problem customer.
However, if you reschedule and then miss the new due date, that late payment will be reported to credit bureaus and will show up on your credit report. The damage depends on how late the payment is—30 days late looks worse than 15 days late. Rescheduling is meant to help you avoid that outcome, not to delay the inevitable. If you are rescheduling because you know you cannot pay by the original date, use that extra time to find the money or contact support about a longer-term solution.
Alternatives if rescheduling will not solve your problem
If moving your due date by two weeks will not help, or if you have already used your one reschedule, consider these options. Some Zip orders can be split into smaller payments across multiple billing cycles—ask Zip support whether your order qualifies. You can also pause or cancel an order before it ships if you have not been charged yet, though this depends on the merchant and the order status.
If you are struggling with multiple Zip payments, contact support and ask about a payment plan. Zip does not advertise a formal hardship program the way some lenders do, but support representatives can sometimes negotiate a custom arrangement. Be honest about your situation and specific about what you can pay and when. The worst they can say is no, and the best outcome is a plan that keeps you from falling behind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I reschedule a payment that is already late?
No. The reschedule option only works before your due date passes. Once a payment is late, you must contact Zip support directly to discuss your options. Waiting longer makes the situation worse, so reach out as soon as you realize you will miss the due date.
What if Zip denies my request to reschedule a second time?
If support cannot grant a second reschedule, ask about a payment plan or a temporary hardship arrangement. You can also ask whether splitting the order into smaller payments is possible. If none of those work, focus on paying as much as you can before the due date to minimize late fees and credit damage.
Does rescheduling change the total amount I owe?
No. Rescheduling only moves the due date; it does not reduce what you owe or add interest. Your payment amount stays the same. The only thing that changes is when Zip expects the money.
Can I reschedule multiple orders at the same time?
Yes. Each order has its own reschedule option, and you can use it once per order. If you have three active Zip orders, you can reschedule all three if needed. However, you still get only one reschedule per order, so plan carefully if you have several payments coming due.
What happens if I reschedule and then still cannot pay on the new due date?
Contact Zip support before the new due date arrives. Explain what is happening and ask about a payment plan or extension. Reaching out proactively is much better than letting the payment go late. Late payments damage your credit and can lead to collection activity, so do not ignore the problem.
