What Are Real-Time Invoices and Variable Recurring Payments (VRP)?
Traditional invoicing and recurring billing
systems are built around delay—ACH windows, card processing fees,
and end-of-month reconciliation cycles. That era is over.
With Real-Time Invoices and Variable
Recurring Payments (VRP) using RTP® and FedNow®,
merchants and service providers can issue flexible billing with
good funds guaranteed instantly. Whether you're in retail, SaaS,
healthcare, logistics, professional services, or subscription-based
models, real-time payment rails let you streamline everything from
single invoices to high-volume recurring transactions.
This article outlines how TodayPayments.com
helps you deliver secure, ISO 20022-compliant payments using mobile,
text, and digital invoicing—with full integration into your existing
systems.
Real-Time Invoices are digital payment requests sent via mobile, text, or email that trigger immediate settlement over real-time payment rails like FedNow® or RTP®.
Variable Recurring Payments (VRP) allow businesses to schedule flexible billing cycles with dynamic invoice amounts—ideal for usage-based services, changing subscriptions, or fluctuating invoice totals.
Together, Real-Time Invoices and VRP provide a powerful, adaptive billing solution for businesses across all sectors.
