+Can I have different payment deadlines for different payment methods?
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+No. We do not think it makes a lot of sense, for a number of reasons. First of all we believe it is not very
+customer-friendly. You might for example want to configure a 1-day deadline for credit card payments and 2 weeks for
+bank transfers. However, think for example of a customer who wants to pay by card and then the payment fails because
+the bank locked the card or refused the payment. The customer now needs to worry about not getting their ticket, or
+needs to create a new order with a different payment method. A payment deadline is a guarantee to your customer to hold
+the ticket if it is paid for within a certain time frame. If you give a two-week guarantee to some of your customers,
+why not to others?
+
+There are some other issues with it as well. pretix allows customers to switch payment methods as long as their payment
+has not been started or if it has failed. For example, a customer who selected bank transfer can later switch to credit
+card if they haven't sent the money yet, or a customer with a failed credit card payment can switch to a different
+method without creating a new order. If payment deadlines were dependent on the payment method, switching back and
+forth could either allow someone to extend their deadline forever, or render someones order invalid by moving the date
+back in the past.
