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.
