Recurring invoices and reminders
For clients you bill on a schedule, ShowBill can generate the invoice for you and follow up on the ones that go unpaid. Both are Pro features.
Set an invoice to repeat
Open a saved invoice and find the Recurring panel. Choose how often it repeats: weekly, every 2 weeks, monthly, quarterly, or yearly, then switch it Active. The panel shows the next date it will run.
Only invoices can recur, not estimates, since an estimate is a proposal rather than a bill on a schedule.
What happens each cycle
On the scheduled date, ShowBill creates a new draft invoice with the same client, lines, and amounts, ready in your Invoices list. Nothing is sent or charged automatically: the new invoice sits as a draft until you review it and send it yourself, the same as any other invoice.
Automatic payment reminders
In Settings, turn on Email overdue payment reminders to clients. Once it is on, any sent invoice that passes its due date gets a reminder email, once a week, up to three times. If online payments are connected, the reminder includes the pay link so the client can settle it in one click.
Multi-currency
Pro also unlocks billing in a currency other than your organization's default. When it is on, the currency selector on an invoice or estimate opens up to USD, CAD, AUD, EUR, GBP, MXN, NZD, and JPY. On Free, every document stays in your organization's default currency, set in Settings.
If you downgrade or your Pro plan lapses, ShowBill quietly pauses recurring generation and reminders rather than sending anything on a plan that no longer covers it. Turning the plan back on picks up where it left off.
