Set up recurring invoices

Automate monthly or weekly invoices for regular clients and subscriptions.

4 minUpdated 8 June 2026

When to use recurring invoices

Recurring invoices are ideal for:

  • Fixed monthly contracts (hosting, maintenance, retainers)
  • Subscriptions
  • Rent or licences billed each period

Create a recurring invoice

  1. Go to Recurring invoices in the menu.
  2. Click New recurring invoice.
  3. Select the customer and add line items (same as a regular invoice).
  4. Choose the interval: weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly.
  5. Set the start date and number of repetitions (or choose unlimited).
  6. Choose whether the invoice is sent automatically or saved as a draft.

What happens on the send date?

Declair automatically creates a new invoice on the scheduled date with the next invoice number. With auto-send enabled, the customer receives an email with the PDF and any payment link.

Pause or stop a recurring invoice

  • Open the recurring invoice and set it to Paused to temporarily stop.
  • Click End to stop the series permanently. Previously sent invoices remain in your records.

Tips

  • Check after the first automatic round that amounts and VAT are still correct.
  • Changing your rate? Update the recurring invoice before the next send date.
  • Combine with an iDEAL payment link so regular clients can pay with one click each month.
