Hi all, we wanted to share an update for our US customers that sending invoices via SMS is now available! We have just released this functionality and you can use the same Xero Central article as shared in the last update to understand the in's & out's of how this works. After this release we will be working on delivering this to the UK and NZ markets. As mentioned initially this is limited to the Stripe payment service but we will also be expanding this other payment services down the line.

    Ability to send SMS messages via Xero either with integration with FYI if possible to record details of SMS sent. Currently we use SMS notify via Handisoft/Acess/Sage where you pay for SMS messages per message, but we have changed to Xero and it doesn't have this function.

    Why has the SMS functionality been made exclusive to Stripe users?

    There are alot of your customers that are unable to use Stripe as they're classified as a restricted business through Stripe.

    I know for certain it is a choice and not required technically, as it worked fine with no connection to Stripe during the beta. I will be looking elsewhere for accounting software if this is not rectified.

    Is it possible to send sales invoices or statements to a customers mobile number as a text message instead of an email address. I feel sure that so many end up in junk boxes.

    We’ve recently developed a tool that integrates directly with Xero, making it easy to send invoices via SMS and automate follow-ups. If you think this might be useful for your business, feel free to check it out here: https://textreload.com/.

    Liking the new feature to SMS Invoices (Beta testing in Australia).

    Being able to edit the standard wording that goes with the text would be a lot more useful though .

    We had this option pop up in one business, but it didn't give me the option to send an SMS it was ONLY going to send an SMS.

    I still want the option to email customers.

    Very keen to participate in a trial - and confirmation of costs would be important

    Hi Kelly,

    We are using the beta SMS when sending invoices. Can you tell me if this were to go ahead will there be an extra cost to use SMS.
