Bill retainer clients and subscription customers without recreating the invoice every month. AstaBill generates the invoice, adds the Paystack payment link, sends it, and follows up on overdue payments — automatically, every cycle.
Who it is for
Consultants, agencies, and creative studios often have clients on fixed monthly retainers. Set up a recurring schedule once — AstaBill creates and sends the invoice automatically every cycle with a Paystack payment link ready.
If you run a subscription service, membership programme, or software-as-a-service business, recurring invoices keep billing consistent without manual recreation every period.
Service businesses with weekly or quarterly engagements benefit from scheduled invoicing. Every recurring invoice gets the same automatic reminder cycle, so collections follow a consistent rhythm.
How it works
Choose the frequency that matches your billing cycle — weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly — and AstaBill creates the invoice automatically on the scheduled date without any manual action.
Each automatically created invoice includes a fresh Paystack payment link so the client can pay by Mobile Money or card immediately. No manual link generation needed for repeat billing.
Every recurring invoice gets the next number in your invoice series automatically. Your records stay clean and sequential without gaps or manual corrections each month.
The same email reminder cycle that runs on regular invoices applies to every recurring one. Before and after the due date, reminders go out automatically — no separate reminder setup per cycle.
Each recurring schedule is tied to a specific client and runs independently. Bill one client monthly and another quarterly — both cycles run without interfering with each other.
When a retainer ends or a client relationship changes, you can pause or cancel the recurring schedule from the invoice settings. No invoices are created after cancellation.
