Invoicing by Fusion Payments — Recurring billing
Recurring billing that runs itself. Weekly, every other week, monthly or every three months, with autopay if you want it.
A recurring schedule in Invoicing by Fusion Payments creates and sends the invoice the day before it is due, charges a saved card or bank account on the due date when autopay is on, and can end on a date or after a set number of payments. Or it simply sends the invoice and lets the customer pay each one.

Invoicing by Fusion Payments — The schedule
How often can a recurring invoice bill?
Four cadences: "Weekly", "Every other week", "Monthly" and "Every 3 months", each on a billing day you pick. A schedule set to the 31st bills on the last day of shorter months and goes back to the 31st afterwards.
The schedule restates itself in one sentence as you build it, so "Monthly on the 15th" means exactly that. Each invoice is created and sent the day before its due date, by email, text or both, carrying the same line items, tax, discount, notes and PO number every cycle.
-
Start from an invoice you already sent
"Make this recurring" on any invoice turns its items into the template, with the customer already picked.
-
Nothing bills in the past
A start date that has already passed moves forward to the first date that fits the schedule, and the screen says so.
-
Every 3 months counts from the first bill
First billed in February, it bills again in May, August and November. The Recurring list reads "Every 3 months on the 15th".
Payment plans
Can a recurring schedule end after a set number of payments?
Yes. Under "Ends" choose "After a number of payments" and type the count — a four-payment plan is 4. The caption shows the date of the last invoice, and the schedule finishes on its own after it.
A schedule can also end on a date, or run until you pause or end it. The Recurring list shows a plan’s progress in words: "4 payments — 1 sent, 3 to go". Up to 600 payments on one schedule.
-
Pause without losing anything
Pause billing, change the billing day, resume later. Nothing is deleted and the saved payment method stays put. A resumed schedule does not bill the cycles it missed.
-
End it cleanly
Ending a schedule stops future invoices. Invoices already sent stay payable from their own links.
Invoicing by Fusion Payments — Autopay
How does autopay work on a recurring invoice?
Autopay charges a card or bank account the customer saved, with their recorded authorization, on each due date. The customer still receives the invoice the day before, marked "No action needed — this invoice will be paid automatically", and can "Pay it yourself instead" to use another method.
A saved method is stored two ways: you open a seven-day secure link and enter it while the customer authorizes you, or the customer gets a single-use link by email or text and enters it themselves. Either way the card or bank details are typed on your own payment page, never in the invoicing software, which sees only the last four digits and a reference.
-
"Invoice only" is a normal choice
A schedule can send the invoice and let the customer pay each one. That is the right setting for customers who pay by check or on terms.
-
A failed charge is never silent
The invoice shows a red "Failed" badge with a Retry button, the customer gets an email with a pay link, and your team gets an email that cannot be switched off. Nothing is retried on its own.
-
Bank account autopay
On accounts with bank payments switched on, a saved bank account works for autopay exactly as a card does — and it is never surcharged.

- A person, first
Q-01Can I bill quarterly?
Yes. Choose "Every 3 months" and the day of the month. The quarters count from the month of the first bill date.
Q-02Can I set up a payment plan for a large job?
Yes. Set the cadence you agreed, then under "Ends" choose "After a number of payments" and type the count. The last invoice’s due date is shown before you save, and the schedule finishes by itself.
Q-03Does the customer have to store a card?
No. Choose "Send the invoice — <customer> pays each one" and they pay each invoice from its own link. Autopay is one of two options, not the default.
Q-04What happens if the saved card expires?
The schedule shows "Auto-charge — method unusable" in red and will not charge until the method is replaced. Invoices keep going out with a pay link, and every failed or skipped charge is emailed to your team.
Q-05Can autopay use a bank account instead of a card?
Yes, on accounts with bank payments (ACH) switched on. Ask us to turn it on for your account.
