Installment term types: M (Months), W (Weeks), D (Days). Mandatory when aligned_installment is N (No), if Null, will be treated as Months. For aligned_installment Y (Yes), this is irrelevant and will be ignored if passed.
  term_length int 8
Installment term length. For aligned_installment = N, the input will be used jointly with interval type, so for example if interval type is M (Monthly), and users enter 36 then, installment period is 36 months. For aligned_installment = Y, this will be interpreted as number of statements that the installment amount will be part of.
  installment_term_interval int 1
Installment interval, works jointly with terms type. For example: 2 on interval and months in terms type mean installment is due every 2 months. If defined, must be less than terms length. Mandatory if aligned_installment is N (No). For aligned_installment Y (Yes), this is irrelevant and will be ignored if passed.
  days_to_start int 8
Applicable only when aligned_installment is No (N) - Its own installment schedule and due dates. Determines how many days after a purchase or invoice date that the first installment will start. For example: if 5 is passed, then 5 days after an invoice date, 1st installment will start and be notified to customers. If 0 is passed, then 1st installment will start (and be notified to customers) on purchase date (invoice date).
  days_until_due int 8
Applicable only when aligned_installment is No (N) - Its own installment schedule and due dates. Determines how many days after customer is notified on the installment that it's due. If 5 is passed, then 5 days after customers are notified, the installment will be due.

  lump_sum_amount float 8 Applicable only when lump sump type is proportionately split (lump_sum_type = P). A one-time amount that will reduce the total installment to be spread over the course of installment term. For example: a $1200 phone purchase with $200 lump sump will reduce the total installment amount to $1000, which will be spread monthly over 10 months installment term ($100 per month). Lump sum amount is mandatory when only when lump_sum_type is P (proportionately split charge/tax).
  aligned_lump_sum int 1 Applicable only for aligned installment (aligned_installment = Y). Determines when to notify customers of the lump sum. Allowable values are: 0 - Aligned with when an invoice is created; 1 - Aligned with the 1st installment.
  lump_sum_days int 3 Applicable only for independent installment (aligned_installment = N). Determines how many days after a purchase or invoice date that a lump sum is charged and be notified to customers. For example: if 3 is passed, then 3 days after an invoice date, a lump sum will be charged. If 0 is passed, then 1st installment will start (and be notified to customers) on purchase date (invoice date).
  lump_sum_days_until_due int 3 Applicable only for independent installment. Determines how many days after customers are notified that a lump sum is due.
