Auto-Invoicing with Recurring Templates

Updated yesterday · 1 min read · pro

Recurring invoice templates let you automate your billing. Set it up once, and Nova generates and sends invoices on your chosen schedule.

Creating a recurring template

  1. Go to Billing
  2. Click the Recurring tab
  3. Click + New Recurring Invoice
  4. Select the family
  5. Configure the billing details:
    • Frequency (weekly, monthly, etc.)
    • Start date and optional end date
    • Line items and amounts
    • Due date offset (e.g., due 7 days after issue)
  6. Choose whether to auto-send or create as draft
  7. Click Save

How it works

On each billing cycle:

  1. Nova automatically generates an invoice from your template
  2. If auto-send is on, the invoice is emailed to the family immediately
  3. If auto-send is off, the invoice is saved as a draft for your review

Managing recurring templates

From the Recurring tab, you can:

  • Edit a template to change amounts, frequency, or line items
  • Pause a template temporarily (e.g., during summer break)
  • Resume a paused template
  • Delete a template to stop future invoices

Pausing a template is better than deleting it if the family will resume lessons. You keep all the settings and just flip it back on.

Attendance-based billing

If you bill based on lessons attended rather than a flat rate, you can set up attendance-based billing rules. This automatically calculates invoice amounts based on how many lessons a student attended in the billing period.

  1. In the recurring template, choose Attendance-based billing
  2. Set the per-lesson rate
  3. Nova counts attended lessons in each billing period and generates the invoice accordingly
