Set up recurring payments

Automatically create and send identical invoices to a client at regular intervals - no manual work needed.

Before you start

  • Recurring invoices are only available on the Billdu website - not on mobile

  • Make sure your client's email address is saved on their profile before setting up

  • Check that your web email settings are configured - recurring invoices are sent using those settings

How to set up a recurring invoice

  • Go to Documents - Recurring Invoices

  • Click New Recurring Invoice

  • Enter a name for the recurring event

  • Set the date when the first invoice should be created

  • Choose the recurrence frequency - weekly, monthly, or yearly

  • Set the number of cycles - from 1 to indefinitely

  • Select whether to send the invoice by email to the client automatically

  • Choose a client and fill in the invoice details

  • Click Save

From this point, Billdu will create and send the invoice automatically at the intervals you set.

Important note on monthly recurrence

If you set a recurring invoice on the 31st of a month, the next invoice will be created on the last available day of the following month instead:

  • 31st January - next invoice: 28th February

  • 28th February - next invoice: 28th March (not 31st)

What happens next

  • Invoices are created automatically at the set intervals

  • The invoice layout follows your Document settings

  • If you update your client's details in their profile, make sure to update your recurring invoices accordingly

Tips

  • Recurring invoices use your web email settings - make sure those are set up correctly before saving

  • If you need to change client details on an existing document, refer to the article Change client details on a document
