Description

Use Recurring Invoices to save time and reduce manual errors when sending the same invoice on a schedule. 

Recurring invoices work well for:

  • Products billed monthly or quarterly
  • Services delivered on a fixed schedule
  • Subscriptions billed each billing period
  • Jobs invoiced in 30, 60, or 90-day phases

Examples include:

  • Domestic cleaning
  • Appliance maintenance
  • Tutoring

How recurring sales invoices work
  1. Create a recurring invoice and use it as a template.
  2. Add customer details, addresses, due dates, and products or services.
  3. Choose a recurrence frequency such as daily, weekly, or monthly.
  4. Set an end date or allow the invoice to continue indefinitely.
  5. Accounting generates invoices on the scheduled date and emails them when enabled.
