How Xero's recurring billing software works
Want a fast, accurate billing process? Power up the automations the way you want them to work. Find out more about billing and invoicing with Xero.
Tell Xero how to send your repeating invoices
Create a billing template, choose the frequency, and set due dates. That’s it – Xero sends your invoices from then on.
Add a Pay now button to your invoices
Customers pay directly from their invoices – so you get paid up to twice as fast.
Reconcile your payments at speed
Once you connect your bank to Xero, AI tools help you fly through your reconciliations and keep your books up to date.
Invoice your way, free from grunt work
Xero keeps you in control of your billing. Set up the invoice templates with your branding and payment terms. Tell Xero how often to send the invoices – every week or month, for example. And choose the wording for Xero’s payment reminder emails.
- Update a template and the changes will apply to all future invoices
- Send reminder emails the way you want – for example, when a payment is due in 2 days or is overdue by a week
- Connect your bank account and Xero will stop emailing reminders as soon as the payment arrives
Let customers pay online and get paid faster
When every hassle discourages your customers from settling up, Xero gives them a slick process. Send their invoices by email or SMS. Add a Pay now button so they can pay by credit card, debit card, ACH debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more — right from the invoice. Easy!
- Choose the payment methods to offer customers
- Connect Xero with trusted payment gateways like Stripe and GoCardless, so customers feel secure
- Xero customers who send invoices by SMS find they're paid the same day, on average
Stop chasing late payments
No more awkward phone calls! Xero sends polite reminders to your forgetful customers. They’re more likely to settle up without you needing to chase – and you get the cash in the bank sooner.
- Choose the wording of reminder emails so they sound like you
- Send reminders when they’re most impactful – maybe a customer will react to a nudge after a week, for example
- Set up your automations and then let them work in the background
