Recurring Payments

Dolly Card4 min read

The short answer

Pay an approved invoice as usual and turn on Repeat next to First payment date. Pick how often it repeats and when it ends, and how many business days before each payment it goes for approval. Dolly creates each payment from that invoice’s lines and amount. Manage it from the Recurring tab on Payments.

Set it up

  1. Open an approved invoice and choose Pay Invoice.
  2. Turn on Repeat beside First payment date, and pick the first date.
  3. Choose how it repeats, for example monthly on the 15th, or Custom. Under Ends, choose Never, a date, or after a number of payments.
  4. Set Send for approval: each payment goes for approval this many business days before it leaves.
  5. Choose Send Payment and Create Plan.
Send Payment with Repeat on: first payment date, plan number, repeat monthly on the 20th, ends never (or on a date, or after a number of payments), send for approval 5 business days before, and Send Payment and Create Plan.
Turn on Repeat to make a recurring plan from an approved invoice.

Edit, pause or cancel

Open the plan from the Recurring tab. Edit changes payments that have not been created yet; ones already created keep their details. Line items cannot change, because they come from the invoice. To repeat different lines, start a new plan from a new invoice.

Pause stops new payments until you choose Resume. Payments the plan skipped while paused are not created later. Cancel stops it for good and cannot be undone.

The Recurring tab on Payments listing a plan with its vendor, amount, schedule, next payment, progress 1 of 3 and Active status.
Every plan is on the Recurring tab.

Frequently asked questions

Why did my plan pause by itself?
The vendor is not ready, for example waiting on approval or a payment method confirmation. It resumes on its own from the next cycle once the vendor is ready.
I don’t see Repeat.
Repeat shows only for admins, and only when you pay one approved invoice on its own. Untick any other invoices.
