Edit Recurring Invoices in GoHighLevel

Managing subscriptions and automated billing in GoHighLevel is simple once you understand how recurring invoices work. If you are moving from ClickUp or another platform, this guide will walk you step by step through safely editing existing recurring invoices without interrupting active payment schedules.

This tutorial is based on the official GoHighLevel documentation and is designed to keep your billing accurate while avoiding accidental duplicate charges.

What a Recurring Invoice Is in GoHighLevel

A recurring invoice in GoHighLevel is an invoice template that automatically generates new invoices on a schedule (for example, every month or every year). These generated invoices are usually tied to a customer subscription or long-term billing agreement.

When you change a recurring invoice, you are updating the template that controls how future invoices are created. Existing invoices that have already been generated will not be changed retroactively.

• Use recurring invoices for subscriptions and retainers.
• Changes affect future invoices only.
• Payment history remains intact.

Accessing Recurring Invoices in GoHighLevel

Before you can edit anything, you need to locate the correct recurring invoice record in GoHighLevel. Follow these general steps from your GoHighLevel account:

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account with appropriate permissions.
2. Navigate to the Payments or Billing section, depending on your account layout.
3. Open the Invoices area.
4. Look for a dedicated tab or filter such as Recurring or Recurring Invoices.
5. Find the specific recurring invoice you want to modify by customer name, amount, or description.

Once you have located the recurring invoice, you can open it to view or edit its details and schedule.

How to Edit a Recurring Invoice in GoHighLevel

GoHighLevel allows you to edit key fields in a recurring invoice template while keeping the underlying subscription and payment history intact.

Step 1: Open the Recurring Invoice Details

1. Click on the recurring invoice entry from the list.
2. Review the summary, including customer, schedule, line items, and pricing.
3. Confirm that you are editing the recurring template, not a single, already-generated invoice.

This is important, because edits to the template affect all future invoices created from it.

Step 2: Update Customer and Invoice Information

You can adjust customer and invoice details to ensure new invoices are correct going forward.

• Customer information: Update the assigned customer, contact email, or billing address if needed.
• Invoice title or description: Clarify what the recurring invoice covers (for example, “Monthly SEO Retainer”).
• Reference or internal notes: Add notes for your team about the purpose or terms of the recurring invoice.

These updates do not change any invoices that have already been created and sent; they only apply to future generated invoices.

Step 3: Edit Line Items and Pricing in GoHighLevel

To change what is billed on each cycle in GoHighLevel, adjust the line items inside the recurring invoice template.

1. Add, remove, or edit individual line items.
2. Update quantities or unit prices to match new service levels.
3. Adjust taxes or discounts if your pricing structure has changed.

Every new invoice generated after saving these changes will reflect the updated pricing and items.

Step 4: Modify the Recurring Schedule

The schedule determines how often GoHighLevel creates a new invoice from the recurring template.

• Billing frequency: Change between weekly, monthly, yearly, or a custom interval (as supported).
• Start date: Decide when the next cycle should begin or take effect.
• End date or number of occurrences: Define when the recurring invoice should stop generating new invoices.

When you adjust the schedule, GoHighLevel uses the new settings for all invoices generated after you save the changes. Existing invoices in the customer’s history stay the same.

Step 5: Save Changes to the Recurring Invoice

After reviewing customer details, line items, and scheduling, save the recurring invoice template.

1. Click Save or Update (label may vary in the GoHighLevel interface).
2. Check for any confirmation messages indicating that the recurring invoice has been updated.
3. Optionally preview the next scheduled invoice, if your GoHighLevel view provides that option, to ensure everything looks correct.

What Happens to Existing Invoices in GoHighLevel

A common concern is whether editing a recurring invoice in GoHighLevel will alter invoices that have already been sent or paid. According to the official documentation, it does not.

• Invoices generated before your changes remain unchanged.
• Payment records, statuses, and receipts are preserved exactly as they were.
• Only invoices generated after the edit will show the new details and pricing.

This design allows you to refine your billing configuration without risking inconsistencies in your accounting data.

Best Practices for Editing Recurring Invoices in GoHighLevel
