Hey community, we want to acknowledge all the feedback you’ve provided on this idea. We know from your comments here and through other channels that taking deposits or partial payments on invoices is a crucial part of the workflow for many businesses, whether it's to cover initial costs or to confirm a new project.

In terms of current options, within Xero there is the ability to create prepayments. Alternatively there are some third-party apps that serve these needs, too.

However, we do want to share that our product team is actively working on a solution that'll allow you to request and accept deposit payments.

While we can't give specifics on a timeline as yet, please know that this is a priority for us. We're grateful for the detailed feedback you've provided so far, which has been invaluable in getting us to this point.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated on our progress right here on this thread. Thanks for being involved and sharing with us through community product ideas!🙂

    This is a no-brainer requirement. We need to receive partial payments. If QB can do it so can we, surely!

    This is a critical feature. Customer often have to pay deposits against an invoice before work commences. At a minimum, you should be able to enter the date you want to apply a prepayment to an invoice.

    Allow customers to pay a deposit towards an invoice instead of paying the full amount.

    Allow customers to pay a deposit towards an invoice instead of paying the full amount.

    Purpose: Because some businesses start to do their work when the customer pays the 50% amount in advance first.
