How to generate invoices before the renewal date?

Can I automate my "Bill Future Renewals"?

A customer wants to subscribe for 3 years, and pay now, what's the best way to do this?

Summary

Advancing an invoice lets you improve cash flow and bill your customers as and when they pay you avoiding the hassle of waiting for an invoice generation until the day the subscription is turned on. For example, if a customer makes payment on 15th April 2020 for a subscription that starts on 1st May 2020 you can invoice them in advance on 15th April 2020, once you realize the payment.

To invoice a subscription's upcoming renewal beforehand, you can use the "Bill future renewals" option from Subscriptions.
