FreshBooks has recently become an E-Commerce Development Partner with Velocity Pay.
Velocity Pay is a payment gateway specifically catered to the UK. Payment gateways allow you to accept payment by credit card for your invoices. In addition, Velocity Pay supports our ‘auto-billing’ feature which allows you to automatically charge your client’s credit card on a recurring basis. We will be releasing the new payment gateway into our live application in our next release of FreshBooks.
Velocity Pay has been a pleasure to work with and I personally recommend them. Their customer support was great and they got back to my emails in a timely manor. They even got back to me outside of their advertised office hours.
My gratitude goes out to our dedicated users who first recommend Velocity Pay to us. It was first recommended to us via a forum post found here.

Hi Shalini,
Welcome to the FreshThinking Blog.
Unfortunately, Velocity Pay specifically was forced to close down some time ago so they are no longer available for auto-billing with FreshBooks or any where else.
Typically the majority of payment gateway will provide you with integration information when you ask them about it. Not all of them support auto-billing though. If you are based out of the UK, you can try taking a look at http://www.realexpayments.com/
I hope this helps.

Hi Alexander,
If you have a payment gateway such as Authorize.net or VeriSign, you can enter your client’s recurring billing details into FreshBooks. FreshBooks will work with your payment gateway and send invoices as well as automatically charge their credit card.
If you do not have their credit card information on file, FreshBooks will prompt them for their credit card information, and give the option to be automatically billed in the future.
If you have more questions about our service, please don’t hesitate to send us a note.
Cheers,
Daniel
