Auto-Charge lets installment payments go through automatically against the saved payment method (a Wallet Item) on each installment. Once it is configured, scheduled installments on an Order are paid with no further input from staff or portal users. Behind the scenes, Auto-Charge is a daily scheduled batch job (AutoChargeBatch, job name FC: Auto Charge). Each day it finds pending installment payments due that day and charges them against the Wallet Item stored on each one.
A Wallet Item (FCORE_PAY__Wallet_Item__c) is a stored payment method — a saved credit card or ACH bank account. Wallet Items are created by the Stripe addon. If an installment has no Wallet Item, Auto-Charge silently skips it: it never charges and never raises an error.
