Recurring Invoices

What is Recurring Invoices?

Recurring invoices is a mode that can be used with all payment methods, including those not supported by Shopify like COD.

The recurring invoice mode works by:

  • Sending automatic email reminders to customers when their next recurring payment is due.

  • Including a checkout link in the email, allowing customers to complete their payment via Shopify Checkout.

  • Supporting all payment methods you have set up in your store.

Key difference: Recurring invoices do not automatically charge customers. Instead, they manually complete the payment at checkout.

Why you should use Recurring Invoices?

Recurring invoices offer a flexible and customer-friendly approach to managing subscriptions, especially for businesses in unique payment situations. Here’s why they are a great choice:

  • Support for COD: Perfect for businesses relying on COD payment method, enabling customers to pay at their convenience while maintaining an efficient subscription flow.

  • Expanded payment reach: Ideal for merchants in geographic areas where Shopify-supported payment gateways are unavailable, allowing customers to use alternative payment methods like COD.
