  2. I was wondering if it was possible to get surcharge not added into the total charge that stripe uses to get their processing fee. I always thought that the surcharge total would be like the money that they took their charge from which is why I added the surcharge anyway. It ends up being that stripe adds the surcharge in with the base charge on the customer invoice and then takes out their processing fee. I don't think that is right though. It should be a way for stripe to only charge their processing fee to the base cost of…

    Hi community, we appreciate your feedback however upon reviewing this idea we're going to shift this to Not in pipeline as this is not something we can control from the Xero end.

    This is the way Stripe apply a surcharge on a payment.

    If this changes in the future and something we can revisit we will provide an update here. Thanks

  3. Repeating invoice placeholder should have last month option as I need to do last month invoice in current month. by default it takes current month.

  4. Under the old invoicing, when an invoice was emailed to a client for the first time, the email address used for that first invoice automatically populated the Contact card's email address at the time the invoice was sent.
    This meant that if the invoice was unpaid, the reminder would be able to go to the same person who received the invoice.
    However the new invoicing doesn't automatically populate the Contact's email address.
    This means an extra step is needed to ensure the Contact card is updated.
    If this step isn't taken, then the automated reminders don't go out.
    Automation is…

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts and adding your vote to this idea! We totally get how important it is to keep your customer contact info accurate and up to date. An automatic update feature through invoicing sounds like a great way to save you some valuable time.

    Right now, if you send an invoice to an email that’s not already linked to a contact, you’ll need to add that email manually in Xero. The current setup is designed to be flexible so you can send invoices to multiple emails without changing the contact record. But we can definitely see how this feature would speed things up for you.

    This idea is now in the “Gaining Support” phase, which means it’s open for votes and comments. We’re keeping an eye on how much interest it gets from the community. Your vote really helps us understand how much this feature matters to…

  5. Whilst purchase credit notes can be assigned to Projects, a Sales Credit Note can't be raised from Projects in the same way that a Sales Invoice can from Tasks and Expenses. Anegative invoice can't be created - the error message "The invoice total cannot be less than zero." appears.

    Therefore, Sales Credit notes don't automatically link to Project costs and get marked as "invoiced".

    This direct linking needs to be added.

  6. It would be a great benefit to be able to add more than 15 templates as the tracking categories is not available we would require at least 20 Invoice Templates.

  8. Could there be an option to change the view of how we see Sales Invoices. At the moment when I add a new invoice it then goes back to Sales Invoices Awaiting Payment as a default. I want to change this default to 'All' Invoices. You already offer the option to change the view for Bills, could it not be for Invoices also please.

  9. With so many forecasting app using Xero Invoices & Quotes, we would like to see Quotes get an upgrade. Specifically add fields to show the billing frequency for that line.

    This would allow us to build our dymanic quotes in Xero, showing one time fees and monthly recurring ones. Hopefully this could also then auto-create the correct invoice types when accepted. So One-time lines are grouped into one regular invoice and all monthly lines are grouped onto a monthly repeating template.

  10. I have seen there is already a thread for this in Repeating Bills, but we recently streamlined our product codes and archived the old ones.

    However, Xero is still showing all the achieved codes when you create or update a repeating! This does not happen with raising normal invoices. I can see this causing errors in the future and am surprised at the oversight by Xero.

  11. Sometimes I need sub-headings within my quotes or invoices and it would make my sub headings more obvious to customers if I could type them in a different colour. Just one or two alternative colours for the font would make a huge difference to me

    Hi Dawn, thanks for sharing your idea! We can see how being able to use a couple of extra font colours in Standard Branding Themes would make sub-headings stand out and help your quotes or invoices communicate more clearly.

    We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support to gauge the community's interest. If you can, it’d be great to know which parts of your invoices you’d most want to highlight with different colours as this will help others understand the value.

    In the meantime, if you want to explore more flexibility, the Advanced Invoice Template in Xero can already use different font colours. Our Xero Support team can walk you through how to set this up to achieve the look you want.

  12. We require payment of cash sales before goods are sent to customer's, we need to know when payments have been made in real time in order to get the goods to our customers in a timely manner.
    I reconcile payments to the bank account everyday so I can see when invoices are paid via internet banking. When it comes to invoices paid via stripe however, there is no reconciliation until the money comes into the bank account, so I don't know that these invoices have been paid until well afterwards.

    This means customers are not receiving their goods when they…

  13. Ability to add CC/BCC on every outgoing Statement Of Accounts to customers.
    Purpose: Internal colleagues or stakeholders allows for a clear record of who received the statement and the context of the communication.
    It enables easier response and ensures everyone involved is aware of the situation.

    We understand how valuable it'd be to have the option to CC or BCC internal staff and key stakeholders when emailing Statements of Account. You’ve highlighted how this feature would streamline internal communication, support better record-keeping, and make it easier to respond to client queries.

    At the moment, while CC/BCC is available when sending individual invoices, this functionality isn’t yet available for Statements of Account, which means relying on manual workarounds.

    This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. If this feature would help you, please vote and share your thoughts to help us prioritise it. The more support it gets, the faster we can work on making it happen!

  14. At the moment, the options for quote status are: Draft, Sent, Declined, Accepted, and Invoiced. A sales quote that was sent but it's now past the date on which it expired still shows as Sent. It hasn't been Declined yet, but nor has it been Accepted, so there are quotes which are 4 years old still sitting in the list of valid quotes (see attached extract from the accounts of one of my clients). There needs to be another category for quotes which are old but which the customer may want to revisit (and therefore would be more efficient to…

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing you idea on quote management. We appreciate you sharing how this could help keep quote lists organised and streamline decisions about which quotes to revisit or decline.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

    Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

  15. Please have a default bank account in the add payment function. Have to manually enter the number or search for the bank account through your whole chart of accounts. Old invoicing had bank accounts automatically in this box.

    Thanks for your feedback, Jacqueline. We don't have immediate plans for being able to set a default bank account for payment on an invoice, but we'll start to track this here and I'll share if there's any plans made.

    Thanks to everyone that contributed and gave feedback to the teams survey that was shared in my last update.

    There was a lot of valuable insights that the team are able to take from this as they continue to plan whats next in invoicing.

    We understand and appreciate there are different flows for how our customers invoicing, and the timing of adding files can be dependent on these flows also.

    Our team are currently reviewing and exploring solutions to enable attachment of files to an invoice prior to the Contact. As soon as I have more news around this I'll be sure to share with you all through the idea here.

  17. We use, and our customers see the HaloPSA Invoice number ($invoiceid), however Xero displays its own invoice number, with no place to cross reference the HaloPSA invoice number. We would like the HaloPSA invoice number somewhere in Xero so that we can easily cross reference it

  18. Would be great to be able to save a default, or even multiple templates, for the Quote TITLE and SUMMARY. We are currently retyping or copy+pasting common quote titles and descriptions for every single quote. Most of our quotes have the same title and a similar description, that could be built into a template or default text if you'd add that feature.

  19. The clients that I provide services to seek as supporting documentation a timesheet that has been signed off by an authorised representative of the client. At the moment I use an excel spreadsheet to do this then manually generate an invoice on the total agreed hours. It woud awesome to have feature where you prepare a timesheet in xero, xero sends a link to the approver to sign the timesheet then xero pulls the hours into a invoice + any agreed expenses (with supporting invoices and signed off timesheet)

    Hi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

    Did you know you can join our Xero Research panel to be involved in early testing and research? Find out more and sign up through our website 🙂

  20. The pop up boxes, creating a new item for example, should be able to be moved so that the underlying page can be seen. This is standard on most of the software that I use so it should be so on Xero.
