• I’m looking for a WordPress invoicing plugin to, not only, invoice singular projects but to also have recurring invoices for maintenance plans that charges the client at the same time every month.

    I’ve done a lot of research on this but I can’t seem to find exactly what I am looking for. I am aware of the main players in WordPress invoicing: WP-Invoice, Sprout Apps, ithemes Exchange (with add ons), etc. All of these are great plugins but they don’t do exactly what I would like/need. Exchange shows promise but I can’t drop $200 on it right now to try it out and I’m not sure about adding a whole e-commerce plugin just for invoicing. I know there are some non WordPress solutions out there but I’d like to keep it in the WordPress ecosphere.

    Because I can’t seem to find exactly what I’m looking for, I decided to reach to the WordPress community and see what you guys have to say.

    Here’s what I would like to have:

    • An invoicing plugin that I can send out one off invoices(from the backend) as well as recurring invoices.
    • The recurring invoices need to be an automatic charge to the client as well as send a reminder that they will be charged. I have seen some plugins saying that if a customer pays their first recurring invoice, say on the 20th, then it will always be charged on that day of the month, I really can’t have that. My clients are bad enough as it is responding to regular invoices, hence my need for an invoice plugin, so I need it to always be charged on the first of the month. I think it is also important to not just send a reminder but to send an automatic invoice, perhaps with a new invoice number, at the first of every month so the client can keep track of their expenditures.
    • It needs to have Stripe payments.
    • I’d like a client dashboard where they could login and see when their next scheduled payment is, maybe change payment options (if they get a new card), see past payments, and download current and previous invoices. Also just general customer information.
    • Another great, but not essential, feature would be for new clients to register for the site and await admin approval.

    I have considered developing my own plugin to do exactly what I need but I have to have a system integrated as soon as possible – maybe I will create something in the future. For now, if anyone knows of a plugin or system that does what I need, I would love to hear about it!

    If you made it this far, thanks, and I really would appreciate any suggestions.

    P.S. I will be implementing a SSL on my site for Stripe and security reasons, in case I was asked this later.

    Thanks so much in advance.

    Hi sscalifornia,

    We have recently built a new WordPress invoice plugin called Sliced Invoices that will do the recurring payments as you require.

    You can set an invoice to recur on the 1st of the month (or any day of the month) and have it automatically send to your client on that day as an email with the invoice as a PDF attachment.

    The plugin does not have the other features you require just yet but we will look to implement these in future releases.
    What would be more urgent for you – Stripe Payments or a client dashboard?

    Cheers

    Hi wordpress_hosting,

    Nice looking plugin you’ve got there.

    I would say that the most important thing for me right now is the Stripe integration. It’s currently my favorite payment gateway and I already have an account set up with them.

    If you need any feedback or assistance with your new plugin let me know. This is something very important to me and my business and I’d be willing to help in any way I can.

    Hey mate,

    If you can contact me via the contact form at the website, we can discuss getting Stripe integrated and work out what options you would need etc.

    Cheers

    Can Sliced Invoices be integrated with Stripe?

    Hi enregii,

    The Stripe extension is now available for download – https://slicedinvoices.com/extensions/stripe-payment-gateway/

    This extension will allow clients to pay for their invoices using Stripe.

    Any questions please let us know.

    Cheers
