Retainers that track every hour, and recurring invoices on autopay

Run hour-bank, fixed monthly and prepaid retainers with a live hours meter, put repeat invoices on card autopay your clients agree to, and void unpaid invoices cleanly.

The Workspace369 retainer record for a 40-hour product design retainer, showing 3 hours left this cycle, the allowance and billing details, and the team's time entries.

Retainers with a live hours meter

Set a retainer up as an hour bank, a fixed monthly fee or a prepaid deposit. Each one has its own record with the allowance, the price, the billing cycle and the client contact in one place.

Time your team logs against the client counts toward the cycle as it happens. The meter shows approved hours, hours waiting for your approval and what is left, and it warns you before extra hours land on the next invoice.

  • Hour bank, fixed monthly and prepaid deposit retainers
  • Approve pending time before it counts, then bill extra hours at your rate
  • Choose whether unused hours expire or roll over
  • Alerts when a retainer reaches 80% and 100% of its hours

Recurring invoices on autopay your client controls

Put hosting, maintenance or any repeat service on a recurring invoice plan, and each invoice goes out on its schedule. Clients agree to card autopay first and can manage it from a secure page.

Before every automatic charge, your client gets an email 3 days ahead, or 7 days ahead of a yearly charge or the first charge after a long pause, with the date and amount. Plans that send by text also text the notice, so nobody is surprised.

A recurring Website care plan at $450 a month with autopay on a Visa card, a 3-day upcoming-charge notice, and a timeline of invoices paid by autopay each month.

Void an invoice that was sent but never paid

Sent an invoice by mistake, or the job was called off? Void it from the invoice's actions menu. The invoice stays on record with who voided it, when, and the reason if you gave one. It no longer counts as overdue or as money owed, and its payment link stops working.
