How could Xero improve the homepage?

These advertising banners are out of hand now. Please let me turn off! I cant work like this. Its so distracting.

Add on upsells intrusively in my UI is annoying and distracting. These should be strictly kept off the main UI unless I've already bought in.

Adding extra clicks to my workflow to upsell Airwallex Services and crowding the screen with pay bill linked to them is ens**tification at its finest.

Ah, and another pop up to redirect. How do I get rid of this too.
It needs to be a background setting NOT every time I want to do a batch payment.

And here is more advertising to make Xero money under the guise of efficiency.

But its not cheap @ 0.35c per bill. I'd be interested to know what kickback Xero is getting from Airwallex.

A new column but it's mandatory, I cant remove it, this is not ok!

I like Xero but this advertising is very frustrating and gets in the way of workflow etc. Their should be no advertising in a paid products.

The placement of the conintuous banner ad for phone payments on the mobile app is pathetic and very poor customer consideration and service. The fact that it takes up 30% of the screen on my mobile screen with a banner ad that is compeltely redundant and has been there for multiple years is atrocious. Do better Xero, we the customers expect better.

So many comments about constant reminders/offers for products that users don't and will never use. The intelligence Xero brings to its platform can't figure out that, after hundreds of clicks to close the banner without clicking the link, that no means no. And Xero wants us to use, and trust, its AI tools.

So now we pay subscriptions to see adds???? the market is wide open for a new competitor to take it all. Quickbooks and MYOB are no good.

This is a sales directive that just slows down the process of using Xero, I don't want to make payments via Xero, fine tell me once but not every time, remove these annoying pop up ads please

There is now a pop-up when I press "Make Payment" trying to sell me on some automation I don't want. The default action on the form is to take me to the new thing, not continue my workflow. This is very frustrating. This comes up EVERY TIME I try to "Make Payment". It is directly in my way, not a banner I can ignore etc. Please remove this.

Thanks.

Xero is Used for Work, Having Popups, Animations, Glary Icons & Not Asked for Features Appear is So Annoying and Productivity Negative Not Mentioning Slower Loading Time. Keyboards Usage apparently has gone out of the Window, If you are Limited in Using A Mouse Navigating is a Absolute Nightmare. This is where the WEB Applications has fallen in a Huge Hole. With a Local Program All Commands are available via a Hot Key. Xero is NOT Keyboard Friendly. Even to Logging In, The MFA Field has to Be Clicked in to Actually Use. This Is Irritating at the Least. (MYOB Has the right Idea with Both Web & Local Program Versions Available).

Both the new and old homepages/dashboards have an excess number of banners/notifications/little used sections above the real nitty gritty stuff that we use every day. It needs to be moved elsewhere.

[EDIT: Xero moved my independent post to here. FWIW]

Is this a big bully American corporation pushing it's customers around? This is not Greenland!
Your customers are your bread and butter, treat them with respect and they will honour you with continued patriotism. NO ADVERTISEMENT

Very poor of xero to put it up, and worse not being able to remove it from the dashboard. First BIG negative for this software.

I wonder if MYOB has this problem??

This dashboard marketing assumes the person seeing it is the decision-maker and payer, but in many businesses the daily user isn’t the one approving spend. I’m using Xero to do my job, not to evaluate upgrades or be sold to, and the messages are mostly irrelevant to my role.

Honestly, it reads like a lazy feature-adoption approach from the marketing team: spray generic prompts at every user because it’s easy, not because it’s effective. It’s not 1:1 targeted, it’s not role-aware, and it turns a paid workspace into an ad surface. If Xero wants adoption, do the hard work: target account owners/admins via the right channels (or make it opt-in), and give organisations a setting to disable promotional content for non-admin users.

Drop the popups on the homepage. When you try and look (hover over) at the drafts or Invoices to pay, the popups keep getting in the way.

I suffer from ADHD and am easily distracted by pop ups and advertising.
I use adblockers and unsubscribe from most things. A work space is a workspace and leave it as that.

As a paying Xero customer, I rely on the dashboard as a workspace to get work done quickly. Promotional banners, acquisition announcements, and “feature” messages interrupt that flow and genuinely reduce productivity, especially when they’re not fully dismissible.

Please add a simple control to hide all marketing/promotional content on the dashboard (and keep only essential business/support alerts). Xero already has plenty of channels for product news (email, notifications, blog, community), so the dashboard should stay focused on running the business. If we’re paying for the product, we should be able to choose what appears in our workspace.

Yet another advertisement pop up today....
