Setting up recurring invoices

Automatically generate and send invoices on a repeating schedule.

Recurring invoices live under Subscriptions — a subscription here is really an invoice that regenerates on a schedule. (Not to be confused with your own BillGrid plan, which is under Settings > Plans and Pricing.)

  1. Open Subscriptions in the sidebar and click New Subscription.
  2. Build the invoice as usual: client, line items, tax.
  3. In the Recurring card, set the Frequency (e.g. every month), a Start date, and an optional End date.
  4. Check Automatically send to client when generated if you want each new invoice emailed without you having to send it manually.
  5. Click Save invoice to start the schedule.

When invoices are created

  • The first invoice is dated your start date and is created as soon as that date arrives — right away if it is today or earlier.
  • Each later invoice falls on the same day every period, counted from the start date. A start on the 31st uses the last day of shorter months and goes back to the 31st when the month has one.
  • A new day begins in your company's time zone, set under Settings > Currency & Timezone.
  • The end date is the last day an invoice can be created on.

Changing a subscription

  • Pause stops new invoices; Resume picks up from the next scheduled date. Dates that passed while paused are not invoiced.
  • Editing the frequency or dates applies from the next invoice on; invoices already sent are never repeated.
