How to edit a recurring invoice

 

Click the Invoice Schedules tab to see a list of all recurring invoices you've created. Click on the recurring invoice you wish to edit. The right-side menu will appear. Select Edit invoice schedule.




Your invoice template will appear with the existing invoice details.

To modify information within the template, you must indicate in the Start Date field the date in which these changes will begin within the invoice schedule and update the number of remaining invoices (Times) these changes will impact if the schedule does not have a firm end date.

For example, you have a recurring invoice that would be sent to your customer a total of 6 times. You change the Price of your service halfway through the schedule so you must update the remaining number of Times in the template to 3 to reflect the remaining number of invoices after your change occurs.

 

Click Save invoice to save the invoice schedule changes. The next invoice sent per the schedule will reflect your changes.
