Billing Types ​

Every line item in a quote has a billing type that describes how it's charged. Quoteworks supports several billing types to accommodate different pricing models.

Available billing types ​

Billing TypeDescriptionHow it appears on the quote
One-TimeA single, upfront charge.Shown as a flat amount.
MonthlyA recurring charge billed every month.Shown with a "/mo" label.
AnnualA recurring charge billed every year.Shown with a "/yr" label.
CreditsA prepaid credit balance.Shown with a "credits" label.
UnlimitedUnlimited usage or access.Shown with an "unlimited" label.
Free TrialA no-cost trial period.Shown with a "free trial" label.
IncludedIncluded at no extra cost.Shown with an "included" label.

Setting the billing type ​

When editing a line item, click the billing type dropdown and select the appropriate option. The default is "One-Time."

The billing type affects how the item's total is displayed and how it's grouped in the quote totals.

Mixing billing types ​

You can use different billing types within the same quote — even within the same section. For example, a section called "Software" might include:

  • A one-time setup fee
  • A monthly subscription
  • An annual support contract

Quoteworks keeps everything organized and shows separate totals for each billing type so your customer can clearly see what's charged once versus what recurs.

Tips ​

  • Choose the billing type that matches your actual pricing model. If a service is billed monthly, mark it as Monthly so the customer sees the correct recurring amount.
  • Use "Included" for items that come at no extra cost but are still worth highlighting (e.g., "Onboarding session — Included").
  • Use "Free Trial" to show trial periods that will eventually convert to paid.
