Cherry Patient Portal

Your Cherry Patient Portal is where you can view and manage your approvals and active contracts. You can pay your monthly payment, prepay next month's payment, or adjust your autopay settings. Your payment history and payment methods can also be viewed here. You can log into your Patient Portal at patient.withcherry.com

I did not use my full approval amount, can I go back to the store and make another purchase?

Absolutely! If you keep your account current, you may redeem the remaining balance before your approval expires.

For example, if you’re approved for $1,000 and only use $500, you may go back and use the remaining $500 as long as that approval is still valid and you continue to make payments on time. Our approvals are valid for 30 days.

Also, by establishing a good borrower history with Cherry and paying your loans off completely, you can make your full approval amount available again.

How Do I Know When My First Payment is Due?

After you make your initial down payment, you can log into your patient portal at patient.withcherry.com to view your due date, manage autopay and payment methods. We will also send a text reminder before your payment due date.

How Do I View My Payment Plan Options?

Once you input your purchase price, you’ll be provided with the options you have for down payment, interest, and the amount of months to repay your contract with Cherry. Even if you select one now, you can always adjust this when you’re closer to checking out.

How Long is My Approval Valid for?

Approvals are valid for 30 days. Once that time period expires, you are welcome to reapply.

*Cherry may ask for additional information from some borrowers in order to determine approval amounts, which may delay the timing of results.
