# Payment Runs

Payment runs are used to collect payments using electronic payment methods. Even if a payment was made to an invoice but had an error, if an invoice has a positive balance and meets all the filter criteria for the payment run, Zuora will pick up the invoice for processing in the payment run. <br/>        Zuora supports two type of payment runs: ad hoc and recurring. These are similar to ad hoc and scheduled bill runs
