Sometimes client's accounts are set up under Strictly Savvy and the subscription costs are then oncharged to the client in a monthly recurring invoice. If the client has a Service Plan then the subscription will be added to their recurring invoice, otherwise a new invoice is set up for them in Harvest.
Below are templates to use if setting up or amending one of these invoices for a client.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Â We now have a specific invoice template in Xero that is used for any clients who are signed up to GoCardless. So instead of adding a different message into the Notes (optional, displayed on invoice) section at the bottom of the new recurring invoice in Harvest, we instead login in to Xero and update the Contact settings under Branding theme - instructions on how to do this are at the bottom of the page.

Log in to Xero
Under Contacts select the client you want to update
Click on Edit
Scroll down to the Sales defaults section
Find the Branding theme dropdown and select GoCardless Payment Invoice
Click on the blue Save & close button
Now all future invoices for this client with have the GoCardless template and not that no payment is needed as the amount will be deducted from their account on the due date. An email reminder is sent out a day or two before the due date to remind the client they have a payment coming out, when and for how much, so the client has time to make sure there are enough funds are in their account.
