Using this guide in Canada

  • Choose your business country when creating a new account. For an existing business, check the country in Business settings before entering addresses or preparing documents. Some country changes are unavailable for existing businesses, even when new accounts can sign up in that country. Changing the public website region does not change your business settings.
  • Check the business currency (CAD), time zone and document tax settings. Only enable tax collection if your business is registered and the settings match your requirements. Your customer invoice tax settings are separate from tax on your AllQuote subscription.
  • Screenshots use demonstration records. Their sample currency, addresses and tax amounts do not override your business settings.

Step by step

  1. As the business owner on an eligible paid plan, open Recurring invoices and start a schedule for the intended customer.
  2. Review the description, amount, frequency, next run and payment terms. Keep draft generation unless you deliberately enable automatic delivery.
  3. For US or Canadian component-tax schedules, complete the line-tax review before enabling automatic billing; a new schedule starts paused.
  4. Open the saved schedule to edit future settings, pause or resume, or inspect delivery and generated-invoice history.
  5. After an error, inspect the original run and invoice before using its retry action. Changing future terms does not rewrite an issued invoice.

Worked example

An owner prepares monthly maintenance billing for a fictional customer, keeps draft generation selected and checks the next run and payment terms. They review the resulting draft before any deliberate delivery.

This is an illustrative scenario. Use your own approved scope, quantities, rates and business rules.

Check the result

Reopen the original record or confirmed result, check its business and key values, and resolve any error or uncertain response before repeating the action.

Limits and troubleshooting

A schedule, generated draft, sent invoice and received payment are separate states. Do not enable sending merely to test a schedule.
