For customers with active subscriptions, an upcoming invoice appears in their profile. It is a preview of that subscription’s next invoice. The upcoming invoice includes:
  • The subscription’s own items for the next period (such as plans or resource rentals)
  • Purchases made with the Invoice payment method, if they are configured to be added to subscription invoices
  • One-time charges an administrator adds to it
Administrators can manage and modify the upcoming invoice before it is issued.

Modify or remove invoice items

  1. Edit the customer’s subscription directly in their profile.
  2. Modify or remove subscription items.

Apply a discount or credit

Items already on the upcoming invoice can’t get a coupon or a negative amount. To reduce the price of a subscription item, apply a coupon to it in the subscription. For other items, or if a coupon doesn’t fit, apply a balance to the invoice total. Apply a discount
  1. Create a coupon for Subscription items with the required discount amount or percentage. Set its Duration type to Once to discount only the upcoming invoice, or to Repeating for a set number of months.
  2. Edit the customer’s subscription and apply the coupon to the relevant subscription item.
  3. See the upcoming invoice reflecting the discount.
Apply a balance to reduce invoice total You may need to apply a balance if:
  • The customer overpaid or underpaid a previous invoice
  • You want to apply a refund, discount, or credit to the next invoice total
To apply a balance:
  1. Go to the customer’s profile.
  2. Adjust the Money balance.
  3. The upcoming invoice immediately shows it as Applied balance. It is applied automatically when the invoice is issued.

There are several ways to prevent the next subscription invoice from being issued, depending on your situation: Pause payment collection If the customer temporarily doesn’t need to pay or pauses their subscription:
  1. Open the customer’s subscription.
  2. Pause payment collection in it.
  3. Choose to generate their subscription invoice as a draft or immediately void it.

  1. Open the Upcoming invoice.
