# Set up recurring invoices

## How to create a recurring invoice

The process is the same as [creating a one-time invoice](https://support.hubflo.com/en/articles/11394896-how-to-create-an-invoice.md), with a few extra settings to configure.

1.  Click **New** > **Recurring Invoice**
    
2.  Add your line items, set payment terms, and configure payment methods the same way you would for a one-time invoice. [Learn how →](https://support.hubflo.com/en/articles/11394896-how-to-create-an-invoice.md#h_f4c9356806)
    

# Configure the recurring schedule

In the **Settings** tab, you'll find the recurring-specific options:

<table style="min-width: 50px;"><colgroup><col style="min-width: 25px;"><col style="min-width: 25px;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="background-color: #e3e7fa80;"><p class="no-margin"><strong>Setting</strong></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="background-color: #e3e7fa80;"><p class="no-margin"><strong>What it does</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="background-color: #e8e8e880;"><p class="no-margin">Generate first invoice on</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p class="no-margin">The date the first invoice is created and sent</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="background-color: #e8e8e880;"><p class="no-margin">Then generate other invoices every</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p class="no-margin">How often to repeat, for example, every 1 month</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="background-color: #e8e8e880;"><p class="no-margin">Automatic invoice sending</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p class="no-margin">Toggle on to send invoices automatically. Toggle off to create them as drafts for you to review before sending.</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="background-color: #e8e8e880;"><p class="no-margin">End the recurring invoice on</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p class="no-margin"><em>Optional</em>. Leave blank to keep billing ongoing with no end date.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

# Auto-charge with Stripe

If you've connected Stripe, auto-charge is on by default for recurring invoices.

-   If your client has a saved payment method, they are charged automatically on each billing date, no action needed from them.
    
-   If they don't have one saved yet, the first invoice includes a prompt for them to add a card. All subsequent invoices are then charged automatically.
    

**Tip:** Make sure Stripe is toggled on in the **Payment** section of the invoice. [Learn how to set up Stripe →](https://support.hubflo.com/en/articles/10802636-connect-your-stripe-account-to-hubflo.md)

# Manage a recurring invoice

Go to **Billing > Invoices** and click the **Recurring** tab to see all active recurring invoices.

From here you can:

-   **Pause or deactivate** a recurring invoice to stop future invoices from being generated
    
-   **Edit** the schedule, line items, or settings at any time
    
-   **View the history** of all invoices generated from that recurring series

## Change the recipient

You can update who a recurring invoice is sent to at any time. You need to **deactivate the recurring invoice first** before the recipient can be changed.

1.  Open the recurring invoice
    
2.  Click **Deactivate recurring invoice**
    
3.  Click **Recipient** on the left
    
4.  Click the recipient name, then click **Change Contact**
    
5.  Select the new contact
    
6.  Reactivate the recurring invoice when you're ready
    

**Note:** Adding multiple recipients to a single recurring invoice is not currently supported.
