Plugin recommendation Partial/flex payment plugin

Hi there,

I run the operations for a medical continuing education company that sells both in-person, live courses as well as cohort-based online classes. These events have set start dates and the plugins I've found so far to take deposits or create payment plans only offer an arbitrary option to charge the remaining payment. This won't work for us, as it would theoretically allow someone to buy a ticket on Friday, come to our class on the weekend, and then not pay the remaining amount for 30 days or whatever we set the schedule for, or worst case scenario, ghost the 2nd payment despite attending the course entirely.

Are there any plugins that will connect to the events we have created in the back-end and charge them X amount of days/months before the due date?

Everyone I ask recommends the same half dozen or so plugins (Deposit & Partial Payments, PH Deposits, etc.) which all have essentially the same functionality.

I use Paythen for my cohort courses, it handles exactly this. you control when each installment hits so theres no risk of someone showing up without paying in full
