Customer Statements - Add a Pay Now link
Ability to add a Pay Now link to statements so customers can pay all outstanding bills via the statement they receive.
Purpose: To make it easier for customers to view and pay their outstanding bills and make a bulk payment for all at once.
Hi everyone, we wanted to return and give a little more information with the update of this idea's status.
Our product team are currently looking into the development of adding the Pay now button to Customer statements which would enable your customers to pay for multiple invoices at once.
Though it's early days at present we'll keep you updated of their progress, here.

I use custom templates for our business and I created a workaround by using a paypal and stripe link in the footer of the template (not in the body, links don't work) which isn't perfect as amounts need to be manually entered... but better than nothing! if anyone wants help with custom templates I have evolved into someone of an expert!! As some of the fundamentals are missing by Xero. so have had to workaround a LOT. Necessity makes inventors of us all!

I've spent a few hours trying to get the Pay Now button on statements, such a basic function that I'm surprised it's not available.
After emailing Pin and searching Xero & the web for answers, this feed tells me it's not possible. This is a MUST HAVE. -

8 months since the last update Xero. Seems such basic functionality whilst all updates have been focussed on other stuff. The Xero users are really telling you where priorities lie but feel ignored.

Really need this adding, Xero is about integration and time saving, this is a must.

This is such an important upgrade to Xero. Please look at implementing this urgently, as it seems a lot of people are keen to be able to use this!

Hi Kelly, any further updates on this? It was suggested 12 years ago and your update in February said it was being looked into, would be good to have the option a little bit quicker than the 12 years it took to be considered?

the majority of our customers have lots of small invoices, presently, we are processing 30+ receipts to just one customer each month, our customers would love us more if we could speed up the process of account settlement for them and of course, it would enable us to spend less time reconciling our transactions. This is a much needed improvement that I hope the development team can roll out quickly

It would be fantastic to have our students be able to pay via their statement, instead of individual invoices.

Our customers who have a particularly large amount of invoices each month find it cumbersome to pay invoices off individually. It would be an I dea where the customer could highlight each invoice they wish to pay and make one credit card payment, in our case through Stripe

we send invoices from a different system to our customers, but as we send out statements ex Xero and reconcile all payments in Xero, the function to have the pay it now on our statements would be extremely beneficial.

We have numerous small charges that our customers pay. These are often fx transactions and not viable for credit cards as the charges make it uneconomic. We are constantly asked if the payment can be made for multiple invoices.

+1 vote for this feature - I remember looking for instructions years ago - I was actually searching for how you add the link into your statements but found this.... wow ... Oct 4, 2012 ( i remember 2012 )

Looking at the chain of comments, and how long this has been going I have to start to wonder if this is worth the effort.
Xero clearly do not want to listen to us.

we have customers who has more than 1 invoices to pay and it annoys them to have to click individual payment link. We need the payment link in the statement

We have numerous customers who prefer to pay all their outstanding invoices in one card payment. As this option is already on individual invoices it seems to make sense to me to add it onto the statements too

This would be a very welcome addition and is another crucial touchpoint for prompting customer payment. Massively beneficial and very easy I would imagine to write into the program. #makeithappenxero!
