Create scheduled billing with deliberate delivery choices and a checkable run history.

Create scheduled billing with deliberate delivery choices and a checkable run history.

Before you start

Availability: Plan and role requirements vary. Enabled business features, role permissions, connected providers and supported devices may add requirements.

Documented roles: Owner, Office. A role name alone does not override the permissions set by your business.

Where to find it: Set up and review recurring invoices.

Have the agreed customer, billing cadence and terms ready. Schedule management is owner-only.

Step by step

  1. As the business owner on an eligible paid plan, open Recurring invoices and start a schedule for the intended customer.
  2. Review the description, amount, frequency, next run and payment terms. Keep draft generation unless you deliberately enable automatic delivery.
  3. For US or Canadian component-tax schedules, complete the line-tax review before enabling automatic billing; a new schedule starts paused.
  4. Open the saved schedule to edit future settings, pause or resume, or inspect delivery and generated-invoice history.
  5. After an error, inspect the original run and invoice before using its retry action. Changing future terms does not rewrite an issued invoice.

Worked example

An owner prepares monthly maintenance billing for a fictional customer, keeps draft generation selected and checks the next run and payment terms. They review the resulting draft before any deliberate delivery.

This is an illustrative scenario. Use your own approved scope, quantities, rates and business rules.

Check the result

Reopen the original record or confirmed result, check its business and key values, and resolve any error or uncertain response before repeating the action.

Limits and troubleshooting

A schedule, generated draft, sent invoice and received payment are separate states. Do not enable sending merely to test a schedule.
