Create one-off invoices
Overview
A one-off invoice is a standalone invoice that you create outside of the recurring billing cycle. Unlike subscription invoices, which are generated automatically on predefined schedules, one-off invoices are raised manually for specific scenarios.
They’re useful when you need flexibility in billing. Common use cases include:
- Charging for an ad-hoc product or service outside of a subscription.
- Applying a one-time setup or onboarding fee.
- Issuing invoices for exceptions, adjustments, or special projects.
- Handling billing cases that aren’t tied to a recurring contract.

Where to find one-off invoices
Even though one-off invoices are generated manually, they’re always tied to the customer selected during creation.
- Navigate to Customers in the left sidebar.
- Click the customer you are interested to open the View Customer page.
- Under the Invoices tab of the View Customer page, you’ll see both recurring and one-off invoices associated with that customer.
This ensures you always have a consolidated view of all billing activity for each customer.
