If you deliver milk to 50 households every morning, you should not be creating 50 invoices manually every single day. With Dhando POS Recurring Invoices, you set it up once — and the app generates every bill automatically, on schedule, forever.
📈 2026 Trend: India's subscription economy is booming — daily milk delivery, newspaper subscriptions, monthly tiffin services, and water can deliveries are all moving to recurring billing software. Manual monthly billing leads to missed invoices, forgotten payments, and cash flow gaps. Automation is the only way to scale these recurring revenue streams without hiring extra staff.
Running a milk delivery business, tiffin service, newspaper agency, or any subscription-based shop? Dhando POS's recurring billing feature automates invoice generation for all your repeat customers. Set it once — and every customer gets their invoice on schedule, every time, without any manual effort. Save hours every week and eliminate missed bills entirely.
Who Is Recurring Billing For?
Setting Up a Recurring Invoice
Create a Subscription Template
Go to Recurring → New Subscription. Select the customer, add the products/services, set the price, and choose the billing frequency: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly, or Custom interval.
Set the Start Date & End Date
Choose when billing begins. Optionally set an end date for fixed-term subscriptions (e.g., 6-month contract). Leave open-ended for ongoing services.
Bills Generate Automatically
On each billing date, Dhando POS creates the invoice automatically. No action needed from you. The bill appears in the customer's history and is included in your reports.
Collect Payment Separately
Record payment when the customer pays — whether it's weekly collection, monthly settlement, or daily cash. Each payment is matched to the outstanding invoices.
Delivery Route View
For daily delivery businesses like milk or tiffin, the Delivery Route screen is a game-changer. It shows:
- All customers with a delivery due today
- Their address and contact number
- Products to be delivered to each customer
- Total stock needed for the entire route (consolidated)
- A "Mark as Delivered" button per customer
This eliminates the need for a separate delivery register. Start your route with the phone — tick off each delivery as you go. Works offline so network issues on your route don't cause problems.
Skip Dates
A customer going on vacation for a week? Skip specific dates for any subscription. Use the calendar to select dates to skip — Dhando POS will not generate an invoice for those dates. No manual editing, no credits to calculate.
📅 Dashboard integration: The main dashboard shows today's recurring deliveries — count, total amount, and the aggregated stock requirements. You know exactly what to pack before you leave every morning.
Payment Tracking for Subscriptions
Recurring billing typically involves monthly settlement — the customer pays for 30 days of service at once. Dhando POS tracks each invoice separately, so you can see exactly which months are paid and which are outstanding. No confusion about "did they pay for October or November?"
Managing Active Subscriptions
- Pause a subscription when a customer goes on holiday for more than a few days
- Modify — change the product or price (e.g., customer upgrades from 500ml to 1L milk)
- Cancel — stop billing permanently when the service ends
- View history — see all invoices generated for a subscription and their payment status
