In WHMCS, the "Process Days Before Due" setting allows you to specify how many days before an invoice's due date you want to automatically attempt to process the payment. This setting can be particularly useful for ensuring that payments are processed in a timely manner.

Here's how you can configure the "Process Days Before Due" setting in WHMCS:

1. Log into WHMCS: Access your WHMCS admin panel using your username and password.

2. Navigate to Configuration: Click on the "Configuration" tab in the top navigation menu.

3. Automation Settings: Under the "System Settings" section, click on "Automation Settings."

4. Invoice Settings: In the "Automation Settings" section, you will find various options related to invoicing and billing.

5. Process Days Before Due: Look for the option labeled "Process Days Before Due". This is where you can specify the number of days before an invoice's due date that you want WHMCS to attempt to process the payment.

   For example, if you set this to 2 days, WHMCS will attempt to process the payment 2 days before the invoice's due date.

6. Save Changes: After configuring the "Process Days Before Due" setting, click the "Save Changes" button to apply your modifications.

Keep in mind the following considerations:

• Ensure that you set an appropriate number of days based on your business processes and the typical payment processing times for your chosen payment gateways.

• If you set this value too low, there may not be enough time for clients to make necessary adjustments if the initial payment attempt fails.

• Test the setting with a few sample invoices to make sure it's working as expected.

• Always communicate your payment processing policies to your clients to avoid any surprises.

By configuring the "Process Days Before Due" setting, you can automate the payment processing workflow and help ensure that payments are processed in a timely manner.
