The specific installment range and terms will be defined by your merchant-acquirer agreement. #### Force Installments To mandate that a payment be made with installments, use the `force_installments` option. Supported values for this parameter are boolean `true` and string `'true'`. If `false` is provided, or if the parameter is omitted, it will default to `false`. When this option is enabled, the buyer is required to select one of the available installment options and is unable to make a single, one-off payment.
:::(Warning) (Force Installments Prerequisite) Forcing installments will only function if installments are already enabled on your merchant profile. Attempting to force installment payments for a merchant setup where installments are not enabled will result in an error. :::
