Enter your idea

Thanks for your continued engagement with us on this idea, everyone. We understand there are many different ways business work and conduct business with customers, and that you need more flexibility in the way you manage and receive payments for invoices with Xero.
While pockets of research have been done in the past we’re getting a fresh lens and conducting a broader piece of discovery to deeply analyse and understand where our efforts could be focused in this space to alleviate existing hurdles in receiving payments for majority of Xero users.
We’d like to open the invite to be a part of our teams research pool, where you’d get the chance to share more on the importance of managing payments for your business. This may involve being interviewed, or helping answer questions through short surveys or questionnaires.
✍️ If this is something you’d like to be a part of, please fill in this short form ( https://feedback.xero.com/jfe/form/SV_5iEV1kLZ5FKn5z0 ).
Our research team will be in touch with many of you over the coming months.
Though we won’t be able to invite everyone into every stage, we’ll return to round out on their outcomes and how this forms our next steps.

Hi community, thanks for sharing how deposits are used in your business and adding support for a direct way to apply a deposit to an invoice in Xero.

Bringing this idea over from our previous forums we appreciate interest for this.

Our team have done a fair bit of research to define what deposits could look like. Right now, there’s dependency on work that is being done to upgrade technology ( https://central.xero.com/s/article/Building-on-beautiful ) through sales and payments, and no direct work for deposits.

• As others have mentioned in the thread – there are options through payment service providers like Stripe to collect deposits via their platform rather than directly on Xero Invoices, and you may want to look into

We’ll stay tuned to the support and feedback here, and share any updates.
