Custom payment schedules allow you to split a single invoice into multiple payments over time. This feature is ideal for businesses that want to align incoming payments with project milestones, event timelines, or ongoing expenses.
Instead of collecting the full amount upfront, you can create a structured payment plan with scheduled due dates, making it easier for clients to pay and for you to manage cash flow.

When to Use Custom Payment Schedules
Custom payment schedules are commonly used when:
Projects or events span over a period of time
You want to collect a deposit upfront and the remaining balance later
Payments need to align with specific milestones or deliverables
You want to make payments more manageable for your clients
How to Create a Payment Schedule
You can set up a custom payment schedule while creating an itemized invoice.
Steps:
Start creating a new itemized invoice
Proceed to the third step of the invoice creation process
When prompted, click “Add payment”
Repeat the process to add more payments (up to 24)
Add and configure each installment:
You can select the due date for each payment
Review your schedule and complete the invoice creation
⚠️ Once you create your payment schedule, the total amount will be divided equally across installments and cannot be customized.
Important Notes
Custom payment schedules are only available for itemized invoices
Quick invoices do not support multiple installments, as they are designed for one-time payment requests
What Happens After Creating a Payment Schedule
A separate invoice (or payment request) is generated for each scheduled payment
Clients will receive reminders before each payment due date
Payments are tracked individually, making it easier to monitor progress
