Setting up a subscription saves time, reduces missed billing, and ensures regular revenue tracking. Once set up, the system automatically handles reminders or sends invoices based on your settings. A subscription allows you to automate recurring billing for a client. Once configured, the system can:
- Automatically create a sale and an invoice
- Send the invoice to the client via email
- Remind you to bill at a defined frequency (monthly, annually, etc.)
This is ideal for recurring services (maintenance, contracts, packages, etc.).
To create a subscription, click on Sales > Subscriptions > +Add.
Then, in the Info tab, set the general information:
- Renewal method: choose automatic or manual
- Active: select Yes to activate the subscription
- Client to invoice: select the relevant client
- Billable: select Yes if an invoice needs to be generated
- Frequency: choose the billing cycle (monthly, annually, etc.)
- Subscription(s) limit (leave at 0 if unlimited): enter a specific number or set 0 for unlimited
- Select the product or service to add on invoice
- Specify the quantity and the price
- Add a text to display on invoice (optional)
- Next invoice: date on which the next invoice will be generated
- Start of covered period: start of service
- End of covered period: end of service (if applicable)
- Can not cancel before: minimum date before which the subscription cannot be canceled
- Link to a project (optional)
Click Save to activate the subscription.
