Recurring invoices are sent automatically on a weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom schedule. This is useful for ongoing services, retainers, or repeat billing without needing to create a new invoice each time.

Creating a recurring invoice series

1. Create an invoice.

2. Under Invoice details, select Recurring.

Invoice details with an arrow pointing to the Recurring invoice type

3. Choose a due date for the first invoice using the calendar.

Calendar open under the Due date for first invoice field, with an arrow pointing to the date

4. Under Repeat, customize how often the invoice repeats.

  • Monthly on the first day
  • Monthly on the last day
  • Weekly on Friday
  • Monthly on [due date for the first invoice]
  • Daily
  • Custom

Repeat list open, showing options from Monthly on the first day to Custom

By default, invoices repeat monthly on the first day and end after six invoices. 

5. Under Ends, choose how long the series should run:

  • Never

  • After (then enter how many invoices to send)

  • After a date

 Ends list open with the Never, After, and After a date options, and an arrow pointing to it

If you select After a date, adjust the additional fields to define the exact frequency and duration.
