Client Retainer & Service Credits

Allow agencies to bill clients a fixed recurring amount each month and provide a portion of that amount as service credits that can be used for projects, services, or billable work.

Example:

  • Client pays $3,000/month
  • $2,000 becomes usable service credits
  • $1,000 remains as the agency retainer
  • A $750 project uses $750 from the client's credit balance
  • Client can see their balance and usage history from the Client Portal

Key features:

  • Recurring retainer plans
  • Monthly/recurring credit allocation
  • Credit balance and transaction history
  • Use credits for Service Catalog items and projects
  • Partial credit + remaining payment support
  • Optional credit rollover/expiration
  • Client Portal visibility
  • Low-balance and renewal notifications

This would extend the existing Service Catalog into a more complete retainer and prepaid service management solution for agencies.
