Recurring invoices handle billing that repeats. You save the customer and services once, then choose the schedule and payment terms that fit your business.

Each time the schedule comes around, Invoice Master creates the next invoice with those details and the right dates. You choose how it goes out: save a draft for review, or automatically email it with Premium.

When you review a draft, you can adjust it for that billing period without rebuilding the recurring setup. So whether you review each invoice or automate delivery, the repeated work is already taken care of.

Recurring billing controls

Manage repeat billing details

Reuse the stable parts of repeat billing and choose how much to automate, from preparing a draft to emailing the invoice to your customer.

  1. 01

    Save the details that repeat

    Set up sender and recipient details, line items, quantities, unit prices, tax rates, footnotes, and the first issue date for a retainer, maintenance plan, membership, or service contract.

  2. 02

    Match the schedule to the agreement

    Choose a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly recurrence and set the interval amount. That supports patterns such as every two weeks, every month, or once a year.

  3. 03

    Set due dates consistently

    Use due-on-receipt or net-day payment terms so each invoice receives a due date calculated from its scheduled issue date.

  4. 04

    See upcoming billing dates

    Use list, schedule, and detail views to check upcoming issue dates, recipients, recurrence details, payment terms, and totals before an invoice is generated.

  5. 05

    Create each invoice on schedule

    When a schedule is due, Invoice Master creates the next invoice from the saved details and advances the template to its next future issue date.

  6. 06

    Keep a review step when you need it

    Leave automatic delivery off to save each invoice as a draft. Review the details and make adjustments for that billing period before sending it.

  7. 07

    Change the template when the work changes

    Update the saved details when the price, scope, recipient, payment terms, or billing rhythm changes. Set an end date when the agreement has a final billing period.

  8. 08

    Automatically email invoices with Premium

    Enable automatic delivery on the schedule and choose the recipient email. Invoice Master issues and emails each generated invoice. The customer still chooses when to pay.

Your automation options

Scheduling, delivery, and payment options

Good fit

Best for

Retainers and ongoing service agreements

Use it when the same customer receives a stable monthly service, maintenance plan, membership, or recurring allowance that should be prepared on a predictable date.

Routine invoices ready for automatic delivery

Use automatic email with Premium when the saved details are ready to send each cycle. Choose draft review for agreements that need a one-off adjustment before delivery.

Billing dates that need to stay visible

Use it when upcoming daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly issue dates should remain visible instead of living in a calendar reminder or spreadsheet.

Recurring invoice workflow

From recurring setup to your next invoice

Save the details once, choose the schedule, and decide whether each invoice needs a review or can be emailed automatically.

  1. 01

    Choose the work that repeats

    Use a recurring schedule when the customer, cadence, service, and usual price stay reasonably stable. Keep usage-based or milestone billing in a more manual workflow.

  2. 02

    Build the recurring template

    Add the sender, recipient, reusable line items, tax rates, footnotes, payment terms, and first issue date that should be copied into future invoices.

  3. 03

    Set the billing rhythm

    Choose the interval amount and a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly unit that matches the client agreement. Add an end date if billing should stop after a set period.

  4. 04

    Choose how invoices go out

    Leave automatic delivery off for drafts you can review, or enable it with Premium and choose the recipient email for automatic delivery.

  5. 05

    Let the schedule create the next invoice

    When the schedule is processed on or after its next issue date, Invoice Master creates the invoice, calculates its due date, and follows your delivery choice.

  6. 06

    Handle any changes for that period

    If you chose draft review, make any one-off adjustments before sending. Update the recurring template when a change should also apply to future invoices.
