  1. Xero use to integrate with Shopify for free - through the services of a third party app developed by Bold. Now the provider of the Xero/Shopify integration (Bold) has introduced a fee for this simple integration.

    In my opinion, as Xero is the most expensive accounting software provider on the market, the introduction of Bold's fee for this integration has removed Xero's main competitive advantage. The cost of Xero use to be justified because the Shopify integration was free. Now that you have to pay for this integration as well, users of Xero & Shopify have to pay even more…

    We hope you heard of our new Xero Shopify integration, built in-house, and launched Nov 2021 😊

    The integration syncs your Shopify sales transactions to Xero automatically for easy payment reconciliation. You can choose your automatic sync settings to suit your Shopify settings and align with your business needs.

    The integration is available globally. Find more on the integration, how it works and the needs it can solve for your business in our Xero app store.

  2. Hi there,

    I've tried the existing integrations with Shopify and Xero and the only partially viable option available has many problems. We're using this for our website https://discountoffice.co.nz. We've given up on automation between the two platforms and now manually invoicing at the end of the day which consumes a lot of our time. Do you have any plans to develop an official app to integrate the two platforms?

    Hello, just letting you know that Our Developer community is the best place to seek out help on oAuth and anything to do with the API and building integrations.

    That being said, I also wanted to share about the new integration we announced with Shopify in November last year (2021). The Shopify integration is designed to help business owners save time on admin by reducing the manual data entry and paperwork associated with reconciling and interpreting sales data, giving you an up-to-date view of finances, cash flow and business performance.

  3. Currently there is detailed expense report in Xero Projects. That's why I cannot use Projects for invoicing and billing yet, because we (engineering consulting industry) are required to submit itemized documents to support any invoiced expenses. For example,
    - if it's a subcontractor cost, we need to present the subcontractor bill details
    - if it's a mileage reimbursement, we need to present mileage rate and number of miles and the employee who requested such reimbursement.
    So, please add the expense report feature in Xero Projects!

  4. Hi,
    We run multiple projects with many resources, it would be good if we could assign or restrict user view/access to specific projects.
    Thanks.

  5. Could you please consider the ability to automatically create purchase invoices from sales invoices sent from other Xero users to our account?

    Likewise creating contacts should be part of this process - whereby when I receive a sales invoice from another Xero user, I should be able to click a button and it automatically appears in my purchase invoices with the fields already filled up accordingly.

    This would automate a big chunk of our invoice processing time because we interact with several other Xero users!

    Hello, while save to Xero from an online invoice is still an option, taking a deeper look I see you're based in Singapore.
    We now support Peppol eInvoicing in some regions, including Singapore (where it's called InvoiceNow), as per this community request. eInvoicing allows for the features you have requested as well as the ability to send & receive from other software.

    For Singapore businesses with Xero, you can connect your organisation with 'Invoici' which will enable you to register with InvoiceNow. - Read more on how this works in Xero Central.

  6. Ability to view date stamps against a post in the community forum.

    Purpose: The lack of date stamps creates difficulty when you're looking for help/info and you can't feel confident that the information is current.

    Hello and welcome everyone! Xero Product Ideas (formerly Feature Request) has a fresh new look and updated features and we really encourage you to keep sharing your thoughts, feedback and ideas with us on this new site.

  7. We are looking for a solution where we can generate a SEPA direct debit XML from customer and invoice data in Xero. This XML format is called PAIN.008.001.02 which is supported by all 31 countries in the SEPA region (including the UK). Every bank in the SEPA region lets you upload a PAIN.008.001.02 XML file to collect direct debit.

    Hi everyone, appreciate your input here. And thanks to those of you who provided some options too!

    As you're aware, we don't restrict currencies/locations from our side, so you can integrate a payment service that supports direct debit payment that's available for the SEPA region.

    One of the options that we can suggest to you is to set up GoCardless as a payment service in your Xero org, as they support Direct Debit schemes for this region. You can also check out their API documentation here, if you need to see it.

    That being said, we'll mark this request as 'delivered'.

  8. Would you please create a General Ledger Detailed Report so that we can have a nice Xero standardized report instead of having to export to excel and print from there.

    We need to send this report to clients, and it isn't very attractive at the moment - printing from excel.

    Hi everyone, 100% appreciate everyone wanting to hear from us in the idea here! We've made big strides with reporting across Xero and have more improvements in store.

    We've put a lot of focus into the Account Transactions report, and with options to include all the detailed columns as the General Ledger Detailed report, as well as have a running balance you can create the report you're after in Xero, or exported to be able to share with clients.

    Once set up, Save your report as custom, and if you think you'll often access it you can Favourite to jump on in, anytime! 😊

  9. Hi Xero,
    I'd like to make some of the Payroll Reports "Favourite". Is it possible to add the little blue star button also for the Payroll Reports?

    Hi everyone, we're now happy to say that the enhanced Cash summary report is now released, which has the ability to sort by account code.

    To do this, you can click 'More', then tick 'Account codes' checkbox. Once this is done, you can also save the report as 'Custom' if using account code is your preferred layout, so the next time you open the report, you don't need to tick the checkbox again - see our article for more information.

    Thank you for your feedback here everyone, we'll mark this request as delivered so the votes will return to you all 🙂.

    Hi community, rounding back on the idea here we have just released the new General Ledger Detail report which includes the ability to view by Date and now also add Journal ID as a column within the report. 

    Once you've got the report set up how you like, save it as Custom to return to this same layout whenever you need. 🙂

  12. Not sure if this feature is already coming but would be great to be able to use a custom date range in the Business Snapshot reporting. We have clients who run on a 4-4-5 basis so would be great to be able to produce the report for their accounting period.

    Hello community, we’re happy to let you know that you’re now able to add a date paid column in the Receivable Invoice Summary report. To see the date paid column in this report, you’ll need to tick the ‘Last Payment Date’ option under Columns.

    Thank you for raising this idea, we’ll now move this to ‘delivered’ status

  14. It would be really helpful to be able to amend the account codes and tracking codes etc on an invoice that has been paid (this is possible for a bill!). It's quite cumbersome to unhook the spending and re-reconcile, especially when items need amending that are quite complicated

    Hi everyone, appreciate this idea has come from the prior Feature requests forum and to explain what is currently available -  You can export a .CSV with all employee detail before finalisation.


    From the STP Finalisation screen, select the check box at the top of the list for all employees - at the bottom of the page you'll see an Export .CSV option become visible, so you can view all the payment information before it's sent across to the ATO.   

  20. Ability to include customer credit limit and due dates of invoices in Aged Receivable report.

    Hi community, rounding back from my last update - Credit Limits are now available to everyone within the Aged Receivables Summary report! 😊


    💡You'll see a common format in the left side bar or  can customise the general report to include Credit Limit and Available Credit as columns within your own layout - More detail on the report here
