  1. It would be really useful to have a way of typing the date without having to use a / in between the numbers, like you could on classic invoicing

    e.g. 20012024 used to convert automatically to 20th January 2024 on classic invoicing

    Thanks for your interest in this idea, everyone. We understand there are different ways our customers find useful when entering dates for invoices in Xero.

    Based on feedback our team are looking at improvements to the date pickers in new invoicing. While I can't confirm exactly what these will entail atm, we'll shift the idea to working on it and I'll be back to confirm when we have more of the detail.

  2. There is currently a way one sync from Jobber to Xero. It would be great if a sync from Xero to Jobber can be implemented to records payments in Jobber as soon as a transaction is reconciled in Xero. Similar to what is being one with Thryv and other integrations. This will save me about 1 hour of effort everyday and about 5 hours monthly when the bulk payments come in. I have tried to implement this myself however Jobber API support states they will only allow this if a partner works with them like Quickbooks and Stripe.

    Hi Jaco, I want to be open that we don't typically design and build integrations with other apps ourselves. We have a Xero Developer ecosystem where interested parties can come to get information on how to integrate and sync data from Xero with their application. If not already, I'd suggest letting Jobber support team know this is something you'd like to see and if they'd consider expanding their integration for.

  3. In February this year, all suplier invoices that were supposed to be marked 30 days, got moved to due in March and not end Feb due to the 28 days, This needs to be changed as an exception as there will never be 30 days in Feb.

    Thanks for sharing your idea and letting us know what changes you want to see!

    We've reviewed it, and now it's in the hands of the community for support. Be sure to share your idea with any colleagues who would also benefit—their votes and comments can help build momentum and add more detail on how this change could improve their experience with Xero.

  4. Xero can currently accept online payments however most methods have quite large fees and can result in chargebacks. BTC lightning payments have lower fees (almost nothing) and no chargeback risk. The ability to offer customers this would be great.

    There are a few SDK's to implement end-to-end lightning payments that are apparently pretty good such as this one:

  5. In New Invoicing can the Date field be left blank when in draft status as per previously. Regularly I create draft invoices and want to continue to be able to leave the date blank or to put tentative dates in before moving forwards int he process.

  6. I think being able to connect a barcode scanner to xero to allow users to create a new invoice and scan items to have them appear as line items would be very beneficial to many customers. A lot of people use xero to resell items and if i could create a new invoice and instead of manually type everything, to just scan the UPC and have the item pop up would help prevent human errors

  8. I raise invoices for clients who provide services to government departments and have project managers involved. This requires me to send an invoice to the accounts department who may have einvoicing and to the project manager who does not have access to the financial software and therefore requires a copy of the invoice which also confirms to them that the invoice has been submitted to accounts. Would it be possible to have another option when preparing an invoice to Approve, Send (as an e-invoice) and Email all in one process?

    Interesting to here your feedback here, and would be good to get a wider sense of customers that have similar scenario here. We don't have any plans for adding this option atm, but we'll update you here if anything changes. Thanks

  10. Repeating Monthly Invoices:

    Can we have a feature where monthly invoices have the ability to automatically calculate the days in that month based on the date in the "next invoice date". Therefore it doesn't need to be manually changed. Eg Monthly repeating invoice. next Invoice date - 1 November 2024. Qty - 30

  12. It would be great to be able to show two payment services on the invoice template. Currently you can only select one option from the drop down. We offer POLi payments and credit card payments via Stripe but cannot currently display both options using the invoice template. We have to manually select both options on each invoice & this is quite time consuming when issuing a large number of invoices.

    Thanks for sharing, Julie - It's good to hear you're aware of the ability to provide this on an invoice by invoice basis. It's not something we have plans for extending to Invoice templates/branding for the time being, but we'll track the interest from your idea here and share if any plans are made. 🙂

  13. Proposal: Integrating Alipay as a Payment Option in Xero

    Overview
    Introducing Alipay as a payment option for Xero invoices will provide significant benefits for businesses engaging with international markets, particularly China. As China is Australia’s largest trading partner, offering a seamless payment method like Alipay will enhance cash flow, improve payment experiences, and reduce barriers for Chinese customers to pay invoices.

    Key Reasons to Integrate Alipay:

    China is Australia’s Largest Trading Partner

    China accounts for a significant share of Australia’s exports and imports. For businesses that trade with Chinese companies or customers, Alipay is often the preferred or only method…

    Hi everyone, thanks for all the context you’ve shared on how this impacts your workflows. We understand how a simple in-product setting for showing delivery address on an invoice would improve efficiencies for you all here.

    Currently, the best option remains to insert the ContactPhysicalAddress merge field/s with the use of an advanced invoice template.

    However as part of a larger piece of work we’re doing to develop multiple addresses per contact within invoices, this is an idea we’ll be solving for.

    We can’t provide definite timeframes but will shift to In development and share further news as it progresses with you all here!

  15. Create an undo or revert option for edits made to invoices. We can already see the history of changes made to an invoice, so why can't there be a option to undo or revert to a previous revision of the invoice?

  16. A feature that allows an email to be sent for a voided invoice to the client so they have confirmation the invoice is voided as verification.
    This can be as simple as taking the invoice template / previously generated pdf and branding "VOIDED" or "CANCELLED" on top of it.

  17. Can you add a "Add payment and send invoice" button on the payment option, if the customer has paid straight away, I have to add the payment, it then exits the screen, you have the option to send a receipt (but no invoice?) and you have to go back into the transaction to send a paid invoice to the customer

    Hey Olga, thanks for your engagement and for sharing this great idea with the community.

    We've reviewed your suggestion to add an "Add payment and send invoice" button. We can see how this would streamline the process when a customer pays straight away, saving you the current hassle of adding the payment and then having to go back into the transaction to send the paid invoice.

    Your idea is now open to gain support from other community members. Along with votes, others can now comment to share how this improved workflow could enhance their own experience with Xero. 🙂

  18. Why does the Supplier ABN not appear on the online invoice view? We now have to download the invoice as a PDF to see the ABN. This was not an issue with the Classic view.

  19. I'm invoicing for June, and I'm clicking "add last items" so that I can copy and paste the descriptions, and it added the items from the last paid invoice and not the last invoice - I know because the last invoice had line items for May, and it added the line items from April. The May invoice for the client I'm invoicing is still open but the April one is paid and closed.

    I just want the thing to do what it says on the box.

    (I'd also like for there to be fewer than 7 different font/size/colour in the…

  20. At present, using Xero's Invoicing templates, you cannot send a "Receipt" from the Invoice -> Email screen. It prints as "Tax Invoice" with a zero balance. You have to click into the payment applied and send a "Receipt" from there.

    If Xero labelled a paid Invoice as a 'Receipt', then surely we could use 'Receipt' templates - as you cannot unless using an advanced docx template with custom coding.

    Secondary to that, Email templates - not being able to have a 'Receipt' template means that our "Receipts" go out with Xero's "View Full Invoice and Pay" message at the bottom…
