GT Extensions for FluentCart 2.9.0: recurring invoices, deposits and due-date reminders

GT Extensions for FluentCart 2.9.0 is out, and the big one is recurring invoices. Issue an invoice once, choose Repeat this invoice, and it bills your client every week, month or year with its own number and payment link each time. No more remembering the retainer invoice on the 1st.

What's new

  • Recurring invoices. Every 1 to 12 weeks, months or years, ending never, after a number of invoices or on a date. Each new invoice is emailed, or saved as a draft if you'd rather check it first. A schedule on the 31st falls on the last day of shorter months. Invoices → Recurring lists them all, with pause, resume and stop.
  • Deposits. Ask for a percentage or a fixed amount first on digital and service invoices and quote proposals. Once the deposit is paid, the balance invoice is issued and emailed on its own. Deposit plus balance always add up to the full total and tax.
  • Reminders from the due date. Up to four automatic reminders before, on and after the due date, with a separate overdue message. You can switch them off for one client. Proposals can also get one reminder before they expire.
  • A /store skill for AI agents. Through Site Agent, an agent can now report sales per currency, look up orders, check who's waiting on a back-in-stock item, update product details and manage page access. It asks before it changes anything.
  • Dark mode now reads properly on the Product details card, the invoice and quote screens and the order view.

One fix you should know about

In 2.8.x, if you had automatic reminders on, only one unpaid invoice at a time actually got its reminder. Back-in-stock emails for several products could also queue just the first product. Both are fixed for everything you issue from now on. If a client should have had a reminder before the update and didn't, use Send reminder on that invoice.

New lessons

Update from Plugins → Installed Plugins, or download it from your account. Recurring invoices and deposits need FluentCart 1.6.4 or later.

If something breaks, or a schedule does something you didn't expect, reply here with what you saw. I'd rather hear it today than find out on the 1st.
