Got expenses that show up like clockwork every month? Rent, insurance, utilities, other overhead — you know the ones. Instead of manually creating the same invoice over and over, set it up once as a recurring invoice and let Garde handle the rest. It’ll show up in your P&L and get exported to your accounting system automatically. Once Bill Pay launches (coming soon), you’ll be able to pay them directly from Garde too.
Pair recurring invoices with AutoPay once Bill Pay launches (coming soon), and you won’t have to think about these expenses at all. Create it, schedule it, forget it.

Create a Recurring Invoice

1) Go to the Orders page and click Add Invoice > Create Invoice.

You’ll see a few options for manually creating a new invoice.
For more details on one-time category invoices, see Manual Category-Level Invoices.

2) Select “Recurring invoice

3) Fill out the details for your recurring invoice:

  • Vendor: The dropdown shows all your existing vendors.
  • Recurrence Details — choose one:
    • Day of the month Note: Picking 31/Last will always create the invoice on the last day of the month, regardless of whether the month has 28, 30, or 31 days.
    • Day of the week
  • Payment Account: Defaults to Accounts Payable, but you can select any active Payment Account.
  • Category & Total: Pick the right category from the dropdown and enter the amount. There are no individual line items on this type of invoice — just the category total.
  • Additional Charges: Add any extra fees or taxes if needed.
  • The total at the bottom calculates automatically.
The Invoice # field is always disabled for recurring invoices. Each time the invoice is auto-created, Garde uses the current date as the invoice number.

4) Click “Schedule Invoice” and you’re all set.

The invoice will appear in your reports on the scheduled day. Once Bill Pay launches (coming soon), you’ll also be able to pay these directly and pair them with AutoPay for hands-off management.

Editing a Recurring Invoice

Head to Orders > Setup > Manage Recurring Invoices.

You’ll see a list of all your recurring invoices. From here, you can edit the details (including recurrence schedule) or delete one entirely.

Click Edit to open the same form you used to create it. Make your changes, then click “Schedule Invoice” to save.
