How Do Subscriptions Work?

In Xagle, Subscriptions are recurring schedules that create invoices for you on a repeating pattern (for example every month). They work like invoice templates: you do not email the subscription itself to the client. Xagle generates normal invoices from the schedule, and payments apply to those invoices.

After you save a subscription, the application relies on a scheduled task (cron job) running on your server. That job checks which subscriptions are due and creates the next invoice. Depending on your settings, the new invoice may email to the client automatically.

Important: The scheduler must be installed and running on the server, or no invoices will generate from subscriptions. If nothing generates, ask your administrator or hosting provider to verify the task.
