Billing in stages lets you split a single service into multiple payments within your agreement. It’s perfect for milestone-based projects, upfront deposits, or offering clients payment in installments.
Creating a service that is billed in stages
To set up a service to be billed in stages:
Add a service to your proposal or select an existing one.
Set the service as One-time, Fixed Price.
Under Billing Trigger, select In stages.
Choose how the first stage will be billed:
Automatically Billed – first stage is billed upon agreement approval; remaining stages are manual.
Manually Billed – all stages are manually triggered.
Divide the total amount into stages. Click “Add stage” to include more.
💡 If this is part of your regular workflow, save time by creating a service template in your Service Library.
Client View
When you send a proposal, your client will see a clear breakdown of the payment stages within the service details.
Billing a staged service
To bill a service with staged payments:
Go to the Billing Hub of the relevant agreement.

In the Billed in Stages section, view the remaining stages.
Choose to bill one or multiple stages as needed.
