  1. The Problem:
    When a customer pays more than the invoice total due to tips or card surcharges, Xero’s Add Payment screen forces any amount over the invoice total to be treated as an overpayment/credit, not as intentional extra income. This prevents me from allocating the excess directly to specific income accounts (e.g., Qualified Tips or Card Processing Fee Income) at the time of payment. As a result, I have to use multi‑step workarounds (separate Receive Money and Spend Money entries, later adjustments once bank feeds arrive) just to reflect a single real‑world payment event: invoice amount + tip/surcharge − merchant…

  2. Please remove the invoice amount from the "New Invoicing"

    This should be optional for set templates like the classic invoicing where you could turn it off and on. It doesn't look great and prefer the older layout of the emails where you could control the layout more.

  3. Our work is often quoted at the project level, with invoices being issued monthly for the duration of the project until the quoted amount has been paid and the project completed.

    Currently, we create the quote, and then subsequently create invoices - manually keeping track until the quoted amount has been invoiced, at which point we mark the quote as invoiced.

    It would be helpful if;
    - We could split the quote into N invoices automatically with the total invoiced amount over N invoices equalling the amount in the selected quote.

    OR

    • When a quote is marked as accepted but…

  4. Xero really needs the ability to select all, or at least select multiple lines at once. In a group monthly invoice, it can take over an hour to delete or edit lines individually.
    It would also be a major improvement to allow grouping of identical line items—so that all quantities for the same item appear under a single line, instead of generating hundreds of separate lines for the same thing

  5. Our practice makes use of Xero's ability to import invoices to do monthly utility billing and have found Xero's feedback notice / confirm import page to be VERY useful.

    On this page Xero notifies us if
    - any invoices will not be imported due to errors
    - invoice number already exists
    - any item descriptions and/or prices differ from the Xero org's listed products and services

    Unfortunately, it does not notify the user if any new contacts will be created on confirmation, as imported invoices automatically create a new contact if a matching one does not exist.
    This sometimes happens…

    Appreciate the feedback on invoice import notifications. Hearing how a prompt for new contacts could help keep your monthly utility billing clean and avoid unintentional duplicates is really useful.

    We’ve moved this idea to Gaining support, so the community can now vote and share their own experiences. Any extra context about how this impacts your workflow would be helpful for others reading along.

    We’ll share any updates here as the idea progresses.

  6. I'd like to enable one-click payments from customers when I send them an invoice, but only ACH, not credit card. As it is, if I enable ACH payments via Stripe, the system displays credit card options to the customer. When I try a custom branding theme without the credit card display, Xero will not allow any Stripe payment mechanism.

    Thanks for letting us know what you're tried, Roland.

    We appreciate you taking your time to share changes that would be most meaningful to you.

    If we make any plans for changes around the ways in which you can offer ACH for your customers I'll update you here.

  7. We do very detailed quotations that are done from our quote / costing sheets. These are then sent as a PDF to clients. It would be really helpful if these PDF could be uploaded like a bill to Xero quotes and invoices.

    Hi Alyson

    We appreciate you sharing your idea! It’s been reviewed and is now live for community backing!

    Get your colleagues involved to vote and comment on how this change would enhance their use of Xero ☺️

  8. Currently if an invoice comes through to XPM via Xero Blue it can sometimes come in as a Misc. Invoice in XPM and not be allocated to a job. To correct this we need to delete the Invoice in XPM, edit the Xero Blue invoice and add some spaces and "dots ...". Then wait until XPM and Xero re-sync overnight.

    Can we have the ability to manually add a job number to a Misc Invoice in XPM?

  9. It would be an easy fix to stop automatically sending reminders for "unpaid" invoices when the business has not done their reconciliation for the relevant period. We find it stressful and time consuming to check all the time. I think sending a payment demand with the proviso to "ignore it if it has already been paid" is a waste of resources. It would be way less stressful and more efficient if reminders could be pending and only be sent automatically once the reconciliation covering the due date has been completed.

    Interesting idea, Marc. This would add another layer of complexity to reminders, but it would be great to understand the interest around this from your idea here for our product team to consider. We'll share if there are any updates.

  10. We want to be able to create a Batch Payment summary report to include the description of each bill then once that is approved by Management, I am able to go straight to next step & export to the bank. Instead of now, we are having to create more steps when making payments by getting the description of each bill info required from the Payable Invoice Detail Report which is not working for us as we have multiple lines with descriptions & this report needs so much work to get it looking ready for Management to approve. Such a waste…

  12. A "Payment due upon receipt" option for the invoice due date, instead of the same date as the send date, would be more informative for our customers. Thank you!

  14. Allow original pdf invoice to be attached to invoice email and subsequent reminders to clients.

    We use Hubdoc to import invoice details to Xero. but currently one of the crucial fields (description of service) isn't imported automatically - we'd have to copy and paste each of these into the description field and even then it's not obvious to the client what the invoice is for.
    It would be ideal if the original pdf could be sent out from Xero as an attachment to the original invoice email and subsequent reminder emails.

  15. Add Payments Screen on Invoicing
    We are still having to use mouse to enter the BANK ACCOUNT details. You can tab to the BANK ACCOUNT, but once there you have to USE MOUSE to enter bank account. We still have the whole chart of accounts listed in this field, Kelly has said this was fixed so I have lodged a case for that, but still not able to just tab and type enabled.

    Hey Jacqueline, we appreciate you raising this as an Idea, however the functionality of tabbing through the different accounts you can use as payments accounts is not in the Pipeline. The option to search for the desired account is available as the field is a down arrow select option. The tabbing option is to just get you to the next field. You can, however, hit the space bar to open the selection and then you can start typing or use the up/down arrows on the keyboard to navigate the options.

  16. Hi all. We have recently come over the Xero from Attache.
    Several hundred times per month in Attache, we used the product look up option for individual products sold on Invoices and the same for individual products on Purchase orders however xero currently does not offer this as outlined below.
    By putting in a code into the search area for invoices and P/O, we would like the option to search for that item, then click on the product that is identified as the one we want to look up, and bring up the invoice or purchase order the product is…

  17. Please add a tab in the invoices category for "Paid Awaiting Pickup".

    Right now under invoices there is a tab for "All", "Draft", "Awaiting Approval", "Awaiting Payment", "Paid" and "Repeating". Our business often has invoiced paid but the customers have not picked up their products. When they come in we have to search to see if what they are picking up has been paid for. A tab for "PAID AWAITING PICKUP" would really help.

  18. Attached preview window to stay in locked screen on the Left, with line items to be on the right on a scroll screen. Because if you add attachments to work from, the screen will be ready to view from the top left and if you have more than 20-line items inputted and you're working from the bottom. You can't see what the attachment is to work from. Look at pictures to see the mark up of issue. This issue is same as the bills. The bills attachment is on its on screen, but you can move it where you want…

    Thanks for sharing your idea, where you'd like to freeze the attachment preview side of the page, and keep it in view when you're scrolling up and down for entering larger bills.

  19. Customer statements - will Xero enable the functionality to present payments received by customers as 1 line item? We want to see the total payment amount on the statement - not allocated to each invoice as it is currently.

  20. Please add option in Xero Payment Services to pass Zip transaction fees to customer on top of my invoice amount. At least most of the invoice amount will be paid to me.

    Like Stripe card payment service, pop-up could prompt payee to accept the fee on top of invoice amount. The 5-8% zip fee is too high to absorb for my sole trader businesses.

    In Xero > Settings > Payment Services - the Zip payment service could have some settings just like Stripe card payments has to choose that option of including fees in the amount or adding the zip…

    Hi everyone, though we appreciate you raising this idea with us, we don't have any intentions of supporting surcharging of Zip fees to customers from Xero invoices - There are some BNPL providers that have "no-surcharge" as part of their clauses, Zip being one of these. You can read more on their payment terms on Stripes website.
