Setting up recurring billing is easy, with Sekure
Getting started with recurring billing doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, once you set it up, it practically runs itself. Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur or managing multiple accounts, these steps will get your recurring payments up and running smoothly.
Create a New Invoice
Start by creating an invoice in your payment portal or invoicing system. Enter your customer’s contact details and basic information about the product or service.
Choose “Recurring” as the Invoice Type
Select the recurring or automatic billing option. This tells the system to send invoices on a regular schedule without needing to recreate them each time.
Set the Frequency and Duration
Decide how often you want the invoice to repeat—weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually—and when you’d like it to end (after a set number of payments or indefinitely).
Add Payment and Delivery Details
Attach the payment method on file or allow your customer to enter one through a secure payment link. Choose how invoices are delivered—by email, SMS, or through a customer payment portal.
Send and Automate
Once your settings look good, send the first invoice and let automation handle the rest. You can always monitor payment activity, update details, or pause the billing series as needed.
Security and compliance you can trust
Protecting your customers’ payment data is critical—and recurring billing solutions are designed with security and compliance in mind.
Secure data storage
Customer payment information is encrypted and stored on secure servers, reducing the risk of data breaches and ensuring sensitive details are never exposed.
PCI compliant

Safe payments
All transactions, whether via credit card, ACH, or other payment methods, are processed through secure, tokenized channels that prevent fraud and unauthorized access.

FAQs
What does recurring bill payment mean?
A recurring bill payment is an automated transaction that occurs at set intervals—such as weekly, monthly, or annually—for ongoing products or services. Instead of manually generating invoices or processing payments each time, the payment is automatically collected on the scheduled date. This ensures timely payments for both businesses and customers, reduces administrative work, and helps maintain consistent cash flow. Examples include gym memberships, software subscriptions, and utility bills.
What is an example of a recurring bill payment?
Recurring bill payments can take many forms across different industries. Common examples include:
- Streaming services like Netflix or Spotify subscriptions
- SaaS software or cloud-based tools billed monthly or annually
- Professional services with ongoing retainers, such as accounting or consulting fees
- Membership-based organizations, including clubs or gyms
Essentially, any service or product billed on a repeating schedule can use recurring billing to simplify payments.
What is the difference between recurring billing and subscription billing?
While the terms are related, they aren’t exactly the same:
- Recurring billing is the process of automatically collecting payments on a set schedule. It’s the technical mechanism that ensures charges are made without manual intervention.
- Subscription billing refers to a business model in which customers pay regularly for access to a product or service. Subscription-based companies rely on recurring billing to deliver a seamless, automated payment experience.
