What is a recurring invoice?
A recurring invoice is an invoice template that automatically generates and sends itself on a repeating schedule, weekly, monthly, or a custom interval you set. It's built for retainers, maintenance plans, subscriptions, and any client relationship where you bill the same or similar amount on a predictable cycle, without manually creating a fresh invoice every time.

Who needs a Recurring Invoice?
Manually recreating the same invoice every month is where billing mistakes and missed cycles happen.
A fixed monthly retainer billed the same way, on the same date, every month, without you needing to remember to do it.
Lawn care, cleaning, IT support, and other recurring services bill cleanly on a schedule that matches the service cycle.
Recurring invoices give you a clear forward view of expected revenue, and flag automatically when a payment fails.
What is included in your Recurring Invoice
A recurring invoice needs the same detail as a one-off, plus a schedule.

- Client details and payment terms

Frequently asked questions
Questions about Recurring Invoice before you get started?
How does automatic recurring billing work?
Set the amount, the line items, and a schedule, weekly, monthly, or a custom interval, and BillyPaid generates and sends the invoice on that schedule automatically. You'll see every past and upcoming invoice in one timeline.
Can I pause or cancel a recurring invoice?
Yes, at any time. Pausing stops future invoices without deleting the schedule, so you can resume later. Canceling stops it permanently. Already-sent invoices are unaffected either way.
What happens if a recurring payment fails?
If you have automatic card charging enabled and a payment fails, BillyPaid retries and notifies you, and can send the client a payment reminder for that specific invoice instead of silently skipping it.
Can I change the amount for one cycle without changing the schedule?
Yes. You can edit a single upcoming invoice in the series, for example to add a one-off charge, without affecting the recurring template used for future cycles.
Put your billing on autopilot
Set the schedule once. BillyPaid handles every invoice after that.
