Billing CadencesPublic preview

Control subscription billing cycles and invoice generation using billing cadences.

Billing cadences define when to bill customers for subscriptions. They provide control over when to collect for invoice items generated from subscriptions and enable features such as invoice consolidation. This allows for separation between subscriptions servicing and when you invoice customers.

A billing cadence determines:

When to generate invoices
Which subscriptions to bill

Billing Cadences is in public preview.

Overview

Billing cycle

A billing cycle defines when you generate invoices. For example, you might want to generate invoices:

On the 1st of every month
Every quarter on the 15th
Weekly on Mondays

Payer

A payer defines who is financially responsible for a bill. They’re linked to a customer through the Billing Profile object.

Billing settings

Billing settings control how you generate invoices and how you collect payments. You can associate billing cadences with a bill setting and a collection setting.

Limitations

You can’t create multiple subscriptions at the same time as a billing cadence.
Billing cadences are created and finalized immediately with no invoice grace period.
