Recurring & Package Billing

Q: Does this replace the billing admin entirely?

No, it removes repetitive checking and chasing so the billing admin can focus on exceptions and client relationships.

Q: Will this work with the scheduling and accounting tools already in place?

The automation connects to common scheduling and accounting platforms already used by coaching businesses.

Q: What happens to existing client and package data?

Existing session balances and client records are read directly from current systems rather than re-entered.

Q: How are unusual cases like disputed invoices handled?

Unusual cases are flagged for the billing admin to review instead of being processed automatically.

Keep client billing on schedule without manual invoice chasing or missed renewal dates.

About This Automation

Recurring and package billing requires staff to manually track session balances, decide renewal type, build invoices, and chase payment across several disconnected tools.

An automated version watches package balances and renewal dates, issues the correct invoice type without a manual lookup, and follows up on overdue payments on its own. Payments are reconciled and session credits refreshed automatically once funds land.

Key features:

Monitors each client's package balance and renewal date without manual checking

Determines whether a subscription renewal or package top-up is due

Generates and sends the correct invoice automatically

Tracks payment status and sends overdue reminders without staff intervention

Reconciles incoming payments and refreshes session credits automatically

Notifies the coach when a client's billing status changes

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Renewal Or Package Threshold Reachedtrigger

Fires when shows a client's session balance is low or a subscription renewal date arrives.

2. Billing Renewal Verifies Package Status

Confirms whether the client needs a renewal or a top-up and pulls the correct pricing.

3. Create Invoice

Generates the invoice with the correct package or subscription line item automatically.

4. Send Invoice

Emails the invoice and payment link to the client without manual drafting.

5. Billing Admin Sends Payment Reminder

If the invoice remains unpaid past terms, the billing admin follows up personally with the client.

6. Reconcile Payment

Matches the incoming payment to the invoice against the bank feed and closes it out.

7. Update Session Credits

Refreshes the client's remaining session balance the moment payment clears.

8. Notify Coach

Posts a short billing status update to the coach's channel.
