One template, endless invoices
Monthly retainers, quarterly consulting fees, annual maintenance contracts. You bill the same client the same amount on the same schedule. So why are you still creating each invoice from scratch? With a recurring invoice template in Billstride, you set up the details once. The system generates a fresh invoice on your schedule, with the right dates, sequential numbering, and up-to-date tax rules. You can review each invoice before it goes out, or let auto-send handle everything. Either way, you are done with copy-paste billing.
Why use a recurring invoice template
How it works
Create your base invoice
Add your client, line items, tax settings, and payment terms. This invoice becomes the template that Billstride reuses for every future billing cycle.
Set your schedule
Choose weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. Pick a start date and an optional end date. Billstride calculates the next invoice date for you.
Enable auto-send
Want invoices to go out without any manual steps? Turn on auto-send. Prefer to review each one before it leaves? Keep it off and approve manually.
Invoices go out automatically
Billstride generates each invoice on schedule with correct dates, sequential numbers, and compliant e-invoicing XML. You get notified every time.
Questions
How is a recurring invoice template different from a regular invoice?
A regular invoice is a one-off document. A recurring invoice template tells Billstride to generate a new invoice on a schedule, with updated dates and sequential numbering. The content stays the same unless you change it.
Can I edit the template after setting it up?
Yes. Change line items, amounts, tax settings, or the schedule at any time. Changes apply to all future invoices. Invoices that have already been sent are not affected.
What if I need to skip a month?
Pause the series and resume whenever you are ready. Billstride picks up from where it left off. No invoices are generated while the series is paused.
Do recurring invoices support e-invoicing formats?
Yes. Every generated invoice includes ZUGFeRD or XRechnung XML, just like manually created invoices. Compliance is automatic.
What does it cost?
$0.30 per invoice, same as every other invoice in Billstride. There is no extra fee for recurring schedules and no subscription to unlock the feature.
