How do I create SOME ITEMS to be recurring and others to be one-time fees on my invoice?

Best answer by Casey W

Hi Holly - 

There is a way to set up recurring invoices with an upfront fee. Check out the steps here.

Effectively you will need to send the invoice with the upfront fee included and then edit afterwards. Once the payment that includes the fee is completed, edit the recurring invoice to delete the fee from the services block.

    ​@Julia B - Darn it! I thought I could help. :) 

    I’m going to try again with a quick thought that might help…

    The easiest way to do this is to build your payment schedule so your one-time fee is added as a single payment, then create a recurring payment for the items you want billed on a regular cadence (monthly, weekly, etc.). Each payment in the schedule can have its own amount and billing structure.

    If that's what you're trying to accomplish and you're still running into issues, can you share a little more about your setup? For example, are you trying to invoice a one-time onboarding fee plus a monthly retainer? Knowing your workflow will help the community point you in the right direction.
