    The cost of membership varies depending on the plan you select and whether you choose to pay Monthly or Annually. For the Lite, Plus, and Pro membership plans, your subscription will automatically renew each month (or year) unless you choose to cancel it.

    Create Recurring Invoices.gif

     

    Steps to Create a Recurring Invoice Series under our Pro Plan:

    1. Click on Create
    2. Select Recurring Invoice
    3. Add all Pertinent Data pertaining to the recurring invoice
      • Set your End Date
      • Schedule the frequency of the automatic delivery
      • Set your payment terms (due date for each invoice) 
    4. Select a client from the Bill To dropdown menu
    5. Enter the Item, Price, and Quantity of the products or services being invoiced
    6. To add multiple items, click Add Item
    7. Click Preview & Activate

    From the "Preview" page, you can view the initial draft invoice from the recurring series. Invoice Maker automatically populates the invoice numbers for each recurring invoice and provides generic messaging for your email body each time it is sent. However, this messaging is fully customizable, so you can adjust the email subject and create your customized email message. 

    Recurring Invoice Preview.jpg

    You can accept payments directly for each recurring invoice based on your selected payment methods from your "Payment Methods" tab under "Settings." Set it and forget it!!!

    If you aren't currently subscribed to our Pro Plan, you have the option to upgrade at any time under your "Subscriptions" tab. 

     

  • How Do Cancellations and Refunds Work?

    Once a paid Subscription Plan is activated by the user, the subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle until canceled.

    The user must cancel his/her subscription directly through their Invoice Maker dashboard under the 'Subscription' tab. All cancellations will be processed at the time of confirmation, though the user maintains access through the end of the current billing cycle.

    *Note that subscriptions canceled within any Free Trial period will be canceled immediately. 

     

    Cancellation requests will not be processed by contacting Customer Support.

     

    How to Cancel:

    To cancel your subscription, follow these simple steps:

    1. Log in to your Invoice Maker account with your username and password.

    2. Click on the "Subscriptions" tab. 

    3. Under your active Membership Plan, click on "Cancel Subscription."

    Invoice Maker members can cancel at any time and retain full functionality throughout the remainder of the billing period. Once a subscription is canceled and the billing period has ended, the subscription will not renew, and the account will not be billed again.

    Previously subscribed Members have the ability to reactivate a subscription at any time under the "Subscriptions" tab.

    How to Cancel.jpg

     

     

    Lite, Plus, and Pro Plan monthly payments may be considered for a refund at Invoice Maker's sole discretion. Refunds will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Annual plans are not eligible for a refund after 30 calendar days from activation (calendar days include all weekends and holidays). Refund requests may be submitted for consideration via a support request

Payments

  • Payments Overview

    From your Invoice Maker account dashboard, you are able to manage your payments received outside the Invoice Maker system, and through our 3rd Party Payment Processors, e.g. Stripe.

     

    Manual Payments

    Definition: A manual payment is a cash, check or "other" payment that a business owner has received outside of the Invoice Maker system. The purpose is to track payments and balances when a payment has been received outside our system, either by cash, check, or "other", which could be anything such as a payment made by Paypal, cashApp, Venmo, etc.

    Manual Payment Requirements:

    Business Owner Input

    1. User has to manually input payment type and amount
    2. Payment Amount: required field
    3. Payment Date: required field. The payment date defaults to the current date it is updated
    4. Payment Method: Cash, Check, Other (required field)
    5. Internal Payment Note: plain text field for whatever the user wants (e.g. check number, specify "other" method (not required field). "Internal Payment Note" lets the user know only they will see the note

    Invoice

    1. Invoice Total: Total before any payments. This is always displayed as "Invoice Total"
    2. Paid to Date: The amount currently paid to date, displayed as "Paid to Date"
    3. Balance Due: Invoice total - Paid to date, displayed as "Balance Due"

    Status

    1. An invoice remains Unpaid until the balance is paid-in-full, and there is a $0.00 balance due
    2. Refund is used for invoices that have the entire balance refunded
    3. Partially Refunded is used when a partial payment is refunded

    Partial Payments

    Definition: any payment amount entered against a balance due that is less than the total amount due

    Requirements:

    1. Recipient will always be presented with a payment screen that is auto-filled with the total amount due to the entire invoice
    2. Recipient will always be able to enter a lower amount
    • cash - amount
    • check - amount - check #
    • other - note field (Venmo, cashApp, Paypal, etc.)
    • collect deposit
    • collect partial payment
    • refund deposits and partial payments

    Deposits: default amount on the first payment is only the deposit amount

    Refund: If a refund is not for the total amount, the status = partially refunded. If a refund is for the full amount, status = refunded
