# Create one-off invoices

## Overview

A **one-off invoice** is a standalone invoice that you create outside of the recurring billing cycle. Unlike subscription invoices, which are generated automatically on predefined schedules, one-off invoices are raised manually for specific scenarios.

They’re useful when you need flexibility in billing. Common use cases include:

* Charging for an ad-hoc product or service outside of a subscription.
* Applying a one-time setup or onboarding fee.
* Issuing invoices for exceptions, adjustments, or special projects.
* Handling billing cases that aren’t tied to a recurring contract.

## Where to find one-off invoices

Even though one-off invoices are generated manually, they’re always tied to the **customer selected** during creation.

1. Navigate to **Customers** in the left sidebar.
2. Click the customer you are interested to open the **View Customer** page.
3. Under the **Invoices** tab of the **View Customer** page, you’ll see both recurring and one-off invoices associated with that customer.

This ensures you always have a consolidated view of all billing activity for each customer.
