Recurring invoices: set the schedule once

Set a schedule once and each numbered invoice is raised on time, in the client’s currency with the right taxes. On Pro it also sends itself to the client.

  • Schedules on every plan
  • Sent on its own with Pro
  • Every N weeks or months

A schedule instead of a reminder in your calendar

01 · Set up

Cadence, day and period

Pick the client, how often and on which day. Spoonbill prints the service period the invoice bills.

02 · On the day

The invoice is ready

On the day Spoonbill raises the draft, with the tax that applies to the client on that day.

03 · Billed

With its period and where it came from

Every invoice prints the period it bills and shows which schedule it came from. The schedule lists them all with amount and status.

A draft to check, or fully automatic

Every new schedule raises drafts first. You switch on sending per schedule.

FREE AND PRO

Drafts only

On the day Spoonbill raises a draft and waits for you. You take a quick look and send.

PRO

Sent on the day

The invoice goes to your client without you doing anything. If the send fails, it waits as a draft.

What schedules do

Weeks or months

Every week, every month or every N of them, on a fixed day.

End how you like

Never, on a date or after a number of invoices.

Service period printed

The month just ended, the coming one, or none.

Tax worked out each time

By the client’s country on the day.

Pause and resume

Nothing is billed while paused, until you resume.

Nothing gets lost

Missed dates come through as drafts; none is dropped.

Questions

Are recurring invoices free?

Schedules that raise drafts are on every plan. Spoonbill sending the invoice itself on the day is part of Pro.

Is the invoice sent without me?

Only if you switch it on for that schedule. Every new schedule raises drafts only at first.

What happens if a date is missed?

Every missed date comes through as a draft. An invoice is only sent on its own when exactly one is due — never a batch at once.

Can I pause a schedule?

Yes. Nothing is billed while it is paused, until you resume. If you delete it, the invoices it already raised stay.
