1. Create a retainer

Use this template to create and send professional retainer requests to your customer.

On the retainer, you could define how much work and what type of work you'll be doing, any invoicing procedures you're expected to follow, the date you're to be paid by and the amount you're to receive each month.

2. Track payments

A retainer is paid before services have been performed. After you've received payment, mark the retainer as paid.

3. Invoice against the retainer

When you later invoice the customer, the payments from the retainer are used to pay for the invoices.
