Public Payment Expiry and Activation Controls

1. Overview & Purpose

PublicPayment stores is_active and an optional end_date, providing explicit controls over whether a collection link remains active and when its stated collection period ends.

2. Requirements & Setup

The organization should keep the payment definition current with the real campaign or collection window.

3. Step-by-Step Workflow

1. Open the public payment definition.
2. Review its active state and optional end date.
3. Update the configuration when a collection window opens or closes.
4. Verify the public-facing payment path after the change.

4. Rules & Troubleshooting

Do not rely on an external announcement alone to close a collection; update the payment configuration itself.

5. Verification & Next Steps

After an expiry or activation change, re-test the link and communicate the new state to users.
