Question 1

What is the "repeat costs" feature in a QuoteCloud price table?

Accepted Answer

The "repeat costs" feature automatically applies recurring charges (for example monthly or annual fees) to one or more line items in a price table so those costs are reflected repeatedly over the billing period instead of as a single one‑time amount. This is useful when using sales quoting software or proposal software to present subscription or ongoing service fees.

Question 2

What happens when I switch off the repeat costs feature?

Accepted Answer

Turning the feature off stops the recurring cost calculation for the selected items. Those line items are treated as one‑time charges only, and the price table totals will no longer include repeated billing for those items. In other words, the quote will reflect single payments rather than a repeated schedule.

Question 3

How do I disable repeat costs in a price table?

Accepted Answer

Open the price table editor in QuoteCloud, select the relevant line item(s) or the table configuration, and open the cost settings. From the cost settings toggle off the "repeat costs" option and save your changes. The item(s) will then be treated as one‑time charges in your quote or proposal within the sales quoting software.

Question 4

Can I disable repeat costs for just one line item while keeping it enabled for others?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Repeat costs can be switched off at the individual line‑item level so you can mix recurring and one‑time charges within the same price table. This lets your quote software or sales proposal software present combined billing models—subscription items alongside single‑purchase products—on the same document.

Question 5

Will switching off repeat costs change the totals or invoices generated from the quote?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because recurring charges are removed, the quote totals and any generated invoices will reflect only the one‑time amounts for those items. If you sync QuoteCloud with accounting or invoicing systems, verify the resulting invoice settings and mappings to ensure they match the intended billing model.

Question 6

Why would I want to turn off repeat costs for an item?

Accepted Answer

Common reasons include: the product or service is sold as a single purchase, the customer is billed upfront for a one‑off setup fee, a temporary promotion or trial applies, or contractual/tax rules require a non‑recurring charge. Turning off repeat costs gives precise pricing control when creating quotes and proposals with your quote software or proposal software.

Question 7

How does disabling repeat costs affect integrations like QuickBooks or other accounting systems?

Accepted Answer

Disabling repeat costs changes the values that will be synced to your accounting or invoicing integrations. For example, if you use QuoteCloud's QuickBooks integration, invoices generated after turning off repeat costs will reflect one‑time amounts rather than recurring schedules. Always review invoice previews and integration mappings after changing repeat cost settings to ensure the correct billing behavior is pushed to your accounting system.

Question 8

Can I re-enable repeat costs later and are there best practices for mixing recurring and one‑time charges?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can re-enable repeat costs at any time by returning to the line item's cost settings and toggling the option back on. Best practices: test changes in a draft quote, label recurring line items clearly (frequency and term), keep recurring and one‑time charges separated within the price table for clarity, and double‑check totals and integration settings before sending the final sales quote or proposal.
