Sales - Search for Invoice by Description
This is NOT a duplicate of https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/44961124-global-search-search-items-by-description.
I am suggesting that within the Invoicing section of Xero, where a Search can be initiated, a checkbox is required that will "Include Description" - allowing customers to search for an invoice by the contents of the description field.
I understand the performance impact on the overall system of putting this feature in the "Global Search" box, hence my suggestion to make it an "Optional" search via checkbox.
Because the invoice reference field was reduced to 255 characters (https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/49018595-new-invoicing-remove-255-character-limit-for-ref), this would be the only way to be able to find…

Hubspot CRM by Xero -Allow negative line item on unit price
An invoice line item can have a negative unit price in Xero but this cannot be done in the the Xero published Hubspot connector app when creating integrated invoices. See the screenshot for the validation error when trying to set a negative unit price on a line item.
NB the validation error makes no sense either because the negative unit price entered IS less than the product total.

New Invoicing | Send - Copy & paste multiple emails into the To field
When sending a new invoice to a client with multiple contacts, I find the most recent invoice relevant to the current project and copy the email details from the History and Notes entry for the action Invoice Sent.
If there is more than one email address, the old invoicing used to recognise that a comma separated the email addresses. I could paste that into the 'To' box without issue.
BUT IN THE NEW INVOICING, I get an error message when pasting multiple emails into the 'To' box: "One or more email addresses are invalid."
This means that I have to…24 votes -
New invoicing - Keep the send button
On the classic invoicing there is a send button at the top by email, print pdf etc that you can use to send to another xero customer. This feature is no longer on the new invoicing version. It would be good to have the send button back
15 votesHi Samantha, when referring to send would this be the 'Email' button in classic?
If so this is actually still available in new invoicing, you'll find the option in the 3 dot menu at the top of the page 🙂

Invoicing -Group Entities - Cross-Organisational Duplicate Bill Check
We have around 15 different entities as part of our Group, each of them has its own Xero account.
In terms of payables, is there a way for Xero not only to flag (as it already does) any payable invoice that we try to add under an entity where it already exists but, instead, flag it also as a possible duplicate if the same invoice number exists across all entities within our Group?
This would assist in ensuring that a bill is not paid twice as it might be potentially already paid from another entity that is different from the…
2 votesHi Marco, thanks for your idea and for explaining the need to prevent duplicate bills across multiple Xero organisations in your group. Right now, both Xero’s existing duplicate checks and the upcoming improvements to duplicate detection are limited to within a single organisation only. They don’t compare bills or payments across different Xero orgs, even when they’re part of the same group.
This request would require a new way of linking and analysing data across multiple entities, which is not something we’re currently planning. For that reason, this specific idea is not in our pipeline at this time, though we’ll continue to track interest here other users can still vote on this.

Stripe autopay - warning when removing payment from invoice with past due date
ISSUE: Payment deletion triggers uncontrolled automatic charges and reminders
When a payment is deleted in Xero (even to correct a reconciliation mistake), it automatically re-triggers both autopay and invoice reminder notifications without any warning or opportunity to prevent it. This created a situation where:
- A bookkeeper deleted a payment to reconcile what appeared to be a duplicate charge in Stripe
- This action caused Xero to mark the invoice as unpaid and automatically re-charge an autopay client through Stripe without ANY notification, which cannot be recalled.
- A second client received an invoice reminder and paid again manually
THE PROBLEM:
There's currently…1 voteAppreciate your feedback and desire for a warning that Stripe auto pay will be triggered if a payment is removed from an invoice with a. past due date, Mandy.
We don't have any immediate plans for changing the behaviour of how this auto payments are triggered when payment services have been applied to an invoice but will start to feel out the interest for this from the community here.
For now we'd recommend checking for any payment services applied to an invoice before a payment is removed. If needed you can toggle off a payment service for the individual invoice before taking actions we have some help on this here just follow the second option for an approved invoice.

Quotes - Automatic pre-loaded descriptions for specific customers when creating a quote
Option to have pre-loaded descriptions for specific customers when creating a quote. The description should automatically be present when each customer is selected rather than having to select a code to load it.

Invoicing - Insurance / Surcharge Line at Bottom of Invoice
Summary:
Allow users to add a dedicated surcharge (e.g. insurance, card fee, handling) that appears as a distinct line below the subtotal on invoices, rather than as a regular line item.
Current LimitationAt present, any insurance recovery or surcharge must be entered as a standard line item. This:
Makes invoices look cluttered when the fee is not tied to specific products or services.
Can cause confusion for clients, who expect insurance/fees to be displayed separately (similar to how shipping or payment surcharges often appear).
Requires manual placement and formatting on each invoice, reducing efficiency and consistency.Proposed Solution:
Introduce…4 votesHi Joshua 👋It's really helpful for us to understand having the ability to add a surcharge or insurance line to invoices is a desirable option. We understand not having a dedicated field for surcharges or insurance can make it difficult to clearly communicate these extra costs to your customers. Currently manually adding a line item for the surcharge or using a custom branding theme to include the information are the only options💡Right now, we're not planning to add this as a specific feature, as our current focus is on some other features that will benefit a wider range of our customers, however we will monitor this for votes and comments from other users 📣

Stripe - Invoice Xero user separately for Stripe fees
In an ideal world when a client pays us via Stripe 100% of the fee would be reconciled and XERO/Stripe would invoice us separately on a regular basis for the applicable Stripe fees.
5 votesHi team, thanks for sharing with us here.
Reviewing the idea here, we want to be open that this isn't something we will develop.
This is how Xero/stripe surcharges, and you can set the relevant % surcharge. Once the payment has processed the surcharge amount is paid as part of the payout amount.

Quotes / Invoices - Select which lines to copy to a new transaction
When your quote involves different vendors, it would be nice to have the option to create POs with a click of a button for all the vendors but because you can't specify a vendor for each item then at least let us select the line items. Also very important, any additional information that was added to the description during the quote / invoice process should be carried over to the PO.
7 votesThanks for sharing this idea. This partial-copy feature might be used whenever you need to copy a quote or invoice to another transaction, such as another quote or draft invoice.
We've reviewed this idea and now it's up to the wider community to get behind it.
Please share this idea with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can add their votes and comments too!

New invoicing - Show amounts with commas
Classic view invoicng compared to the new view invoicing. The new version shows figures entered as 123456789.00 but Classic View correctly shows 123,456,789.00. All figures should be shown in 123,456,789.00 format. It's accounting after all! This is not a suggestion, this should be a bug fix, especially before new invoicing is enforced.

Sales - Export invoice totals due
When you export invoices, it gives you multiple lines for any invoice which has more than one line. It is therefore not possible to easily total up the amounts due because some invoices are on there multiple times meaning the values are overstated.
9 votesHi Stewart, is there a way you see the export being more helpful for you. For example would you be looking for a summary of each invoice? The Receivable Summary and Detail reports maybe useful for this sort of view and can be exported.

Sales | New Invoice - Only show Customers when entering Contact
When creating a new invoice, the search scope includes every contact in the database, every vendor, evert coffee shop or gas station anyone ever used a credit card at. Xero knows which contacts are Customers (there's a Customer Invoice report), it should pull from Customers only. For the use case where someone is invoicing someone for the first time, they can open that Contact and then click New Invoice.
4 votesAppreciate you sharing your feedback with us here, Rob. Understand how this could help you find the contact you're after if your supplier and customer lists are quite separated.
We'll get a sense of others that would also like to see this from your idea here. If there are any updates we'll let you know.

Shopify Integration - Automatic Credit Notes for Refunds
Description / Pain Points:
Refunds: Manual credit notes are required for Shopify order refunds, which is time-consuming and error-prone for high-volume merchants.
Taxes: Xero only supports reporting for one region. Duties and taxes from other regions must be tracked manually, causing discrepancies and extra work.
Suggested Improvement:
- Auto-generate credit notes for refunds.
- Support multi-region tax reporting to match Shopify calculations.3 votesHi Sherry, thanks for sharing this idea with us. We've noticed that there are 2 ideas in here. We've found one similar to the Multi-region tax here, so we've added your vote to it. As support shared, Xero won't automatically create credit notes for refund via the Shopify integration, so we'll keep an eye on the support your idea gets here.

Stripe Autopay - Allow attempts to re-bill after failed payment
It is common for subscriptions to automatically attempt rebill 3 times, most customers expect this if there is a temporary card issue, it can be communicated with them in the failed payment notification. They shouldn't have to manually setup up the subscription again, especially if using the same card.
Also if a customer is going going ahead with a subscription service, it makes sense that autopay is the default setting on the invoice. There needs to be the ability to disable it if they want to pay by bank transfer for example, but the default should be that their card…
3 votesHi Justin, thanks for your idea here. We noticed you have two ideas in the one post. We've actually found another idea that is similar to the defaulting you mentioned, so I've added your vote to this here.
I've adjusted the idea for the re-billing of Failed payments and we will track support from other users on this here.

Invoice History - Add CC'd Email Addresses for Complete Audit Trail
Ability to cc and bcc when sending emails from xero.
This would be very useful as we have many clients that like to have various other people copied in.
6 votesHey Freya, thank you for raising your idea to add CC'd email addresses for Invoice History. This sounds like it could really improve the tracking and auditing of historic invoices.
We have reviewed your idea and now it can gain support from other community members.

Sales overview - Ability to customise and shift Billable expenses above Quotes
Sales tab - Love the "Billable Expenses", Needs to be above Quotes.
Need to be able to not bill them where I have a project invoice. Just assign the customer.5 votesHi team, thanks for your feedback on this idea. Our team are currently working on a refreshed Sales overview page which will soon be rolling out to customers. As part of this work they'll be solving for the idea here with Billable expenses sitting before Quotes. 😊

Invoicing - Option to toggle Apple Pay and Google Pay on Stripe transactions
Stripe allows you to turn on/off additional services like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link by Stripe. However, these controls are DISABLED when integrating with Xero, which creates a problem. We moved invoicing to Xero specifically because it allows you to dynamically add a surcharge for credit card payments -- but, by automatically adding Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link, you're allowing payers to bypass the surcharges! You should re-enable those controls through Stripe, allowing users to CHOOSE whether or not they want to use those payment services.
1 voteHi there, thank you for sharing this idea.
I can see how the inability to toggle specific digital wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay creates an issue when you are trying to manage surcharges effectively.
Since there isn't currently a way to disable these specifically within the Xero-Stripe settings while keeping standard credit card payments active, I’ve moved this to 'Gaining Support' to see how many other users are impacted by this.
