Help CenterThis article will show you how to create a new Project - One-Time fee-type contract. This contract type is used when you want to charge a customer an inclusive flat fee for a project, where the price is agreed upon prior to starting the project.
Note: This type of contract is a one-time contract and can only be invoiced once. If you wish to set up recurring hourly billing, please create a Retainer/Flat Fee contract.
