I completely agree, that’s why it’s been on the list of features to add since the beginning. The delay has been a bit unordinary since we plan to have major releases at least monthly; that development time has been filled with WordCamps and sponsorship responsibilities. With that season aside now you’ll see features releases more ofter.
That said you can expect recurring invoices in 1.2 (which is due out next month) and recurring payments (with escrow type functionality) coming in a release shortly after.
Thanks for the reply Dan.
So recurring invoices will require manual payments, but recurring payments will come later? We require recurring payments, so we’ll hold off for that.
Will recurring payments support Stripe subscriptions? or will recurring payments be handled within the Invoicing system and just send the individual payments to Stripe (a la Freshbooks)?
Sprout Invoices will definitely use subscription payments from the payment providers that support it, like Stripe.
Awesome! Looking forward to recurring payments and using Sprout Invoices.
Thanks for sharing! I’ll check it out.
