We store payment methods for our invoices.\u00a0 I created an invoice for a contact we already have a saved payment method.\u00a0 The invoice had a future due date from when it was created\/opened.\u00a0 When the due date arrived the invoice was not automatically paid.\u00a0 In the UI I can use the menu “Charge payment method” however.\u00a0 My question: is there a way to have invoices charge payment automatically when due.\u00a0 And if not, is there an automation (task or custom code action\/API) that I can use to charge the payment method on the due date.

I can’t really use Subscriptions if you are thinking of a workaround.\u00a0 First, we have variable invoice structure. Think 20% discount year 1, 15% disocunt year 2, 8% discount year 3, no dicount year 4.\u00a0 In today’s Hubspot I would have to make 4 subscpriptions.\u00a0 Secondarily, we may want to push back a due date on say year 2 because client asked for more time.\u00a0 We need the flexibilty of using standalone invoices, but (ideally) still be able to charge the stored payment method automatically vs manually in the UI.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
