  1. 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…

    Hi 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.

  2. 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.

    Hey 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.

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

  3. Invoices Australia
    An update in the last few months bought inconsistency into the invoicing format in terms of the decimal points on the unit pricing. It would be good to be able to define this - to two, three, four decimal points so that there is consistency on the invoices rather than some units at two and some at four decimal points.

  4. 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.

    Hi 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.

  5. The button to view attachments was at the top of the page in classic invoicing but is at the bottom in new invoicing. Our sales transactions are imported from our point of sales software via API. Every sales invoice has an attachment and we now have to pointlessly scroll down to the bottom of every invoice before we can view the underlying report. Please put the attachment button back in an accessible place!

  6. Xero does not alert you if a customer has a credit that could be applied during batch approval of invoices.

    We batch approve and batch email all our invoices; it it is frustrating that we are sending out invoices without credits being applied.

    Surely this would be easy to implement?

    Thanks for sharing this idea about how bulk invoice approval could be improved for you.

    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 votes and comments about how they'd find this helpful too!

  7. There is system wide error in the back-end template that you use to generate invoice emails. Please refer screen captures attached. You will see that I have two lines in my Invoice 005614 that are text descriptions of services only so are effectively subheadings and have no account code and no "value". They appear correctly in the PDF invoice with a blank in the "Amount NZD" column but they appear incorrectly with a value of "0.00" on the email the customer receives. I'm annoyed at myself that I have never noticed and reported this bug before because it looks these…

    Hi everyone, we wanted to return and give you an update here. As mentioned in our last post - we want to be forth right that we don't have any plans to remove 'Powered by Xero' from emails sent from Xero, with intentional purpose and based on findings from interactions we can see having true benefit to customers in getting paid faster. 

    That said, we appreciate the feedback we've received and have made changes since this was initially raised to reduce the size of the footer where this is shown and have removed the hyperlink to xero.com. We will continue to develop the invoice email to continue to drive improvements for our customers and the ways you receive payments.

  9. When entering after Qty field, amount is pre filled with 0.00 and when you type, it will put the amount after e.g 0.00120 instead of 120.00. Please remove the pre filled zeros as with classic invoicing and keep the new invoicing in line with everything else in Xero like bills and spend money etc. It is too different!😒

  11. It would be great to be able to group certain lines of an invoice together (for example by adding some spacing between groups), to make long invoices more readable and logically coherent.

    It used to be possible to add spacing on the Classic invoicing page by pressing Enter a few times on the description field, but this no longer works on the New invoicing.

    Hi team, thanks for sharing detail of the value in this idea in the ways you invoice.

    We've just released a new line item grid in invoicing which includes the ability to manually add blank rows and shift these to where you're like them placed in your invoice.

    That said, I want to be transparent in how this works - When you save your invoice any blank lines will be removed. So, if you'd like blank lines to help break your invoice into sections, you'll need to enter a character in the Description field of the blank line. Even a full stop '.' or dash '-' would suffice. 

  12. Why no "Copy to draft quote" on android?

    There is "Copy to draft invoice" but no "Copy to draft quote" on android. Please add it. Thanks.

    Hi J Phuah — thanks for sharing this idea with us! We’ve captured your suggestion and moved this to Gaining Support and it’s now open for community support so others can vote and add context. 👍 Your input helps our teams understand how this could improve everyday workflows. Thanks again for taking the time to let us know what would help. 💙

  13. Purchase Orders - ability for the suppliers that you send the Purchase Order, to view the document online and have the option to import the Purchase Order to Quotes and Sales Invoices.

    The Purchase order area of Xero feels a bit underdeveloped at the moment. However, one strong step would be to allow Purchase orders sent by Company A from their Xero account to be transferred to Company B's Xero Sales area at the click of a button (giving an option of Quote or direct to sales invoice).

    This is already set up on the Sale side, where Company A…

    Hi there, we appreciate your suggestion. It's a thoughtful idea that touches on a key part of the procurement process. We understand that the current method of emailing PDFs and relying on suppliers to recreate the information on their side requires some manual work.

    An online view of purchase orders, along with the ability for suppliers to convert those into a quote or invoice in Xero, would help make this a much smoother experience for everyone involved.

    At the moment in Xero, purchase orders can be converted into bills, which you can then send to suppliers, and quotes can be converted into invoices to be sent to customers. However, there isn’t a way for suppliers to view a purchase order online and import it into their organisation as a Quote.

    This idea is currently in the Gaining Support phase, so we’re keeping a close eye on feedback and interest from…

  14. Batch download of Validated eInvocie from Malaysia LDHN

    This idea is related to eInvoice from Malaysia LHDN, send individual invoice section.

    Once sending the email to MyInvois@invoi.ci, and after validated, the e-invoice will be added to file attachment.

    There is currently no option to be able to batch download these multiple eInvoice that is validated in the file attachment section.

    Please find the attached and reference below for Send individual e-Invoices:

  15. Invoice Settings - Branding Themes - Prepayment title

    Why can't we alter what shows on a prepayment? We have several customers who mistakenly pay us twice for invoices, this is made worse when we send them the prepayments (of the double payments) which say "Tax Invoice" suggesting this is money owing to us. Why can't we change the title to "Credit Note" or similar, so that our customers know that they've overpaid without us needing to manually contact each customer.
    It should be a fairly easy fix, seeing that most types of invoices, quotes, drafts, etc have the ability to…

  16. Posting this again as admin totally missed the whole point in their response and gas lit the idea then closed the comments off like they had done something amazing.

    Replying to the admin response:
    Yes. Of course I am aware you can send automatic reminders and that is great if everyone is paying through a payment system and is automatically captured. Yet for businesses like mine where 99% of people are small businesses and pay by bank transfer, one must still manually go and consolidate payments. So automatically sending out reminders is redundant if you have to manually check everything…

    Hey Jesse 🙂 We apologise for misunderstanding the original pain points in this idea you raised. We understand how time-consuming it is to re-send each invoice individually, and we appreciate you sharing your idea again on how this feature would help you get paid faster. Our product team is currently reviewing this idea, and we'll keep you updated on its progress. We're always looking for ways to improve cash flow management in Xero and appreciate your patience.

  17. A number of users mistakenly post lines on their sales invoices to expense nominal codes, for example when recharging their mileage to a customer they credit this to Motor Vehicle Expenses instead of using their correct Sales account code.

    Most other accounts/bookkeeping packages prevent this by default by only allowing sales invoices to be posted to sales nominal codes. Xero however allows sales to go to virtually any nominal account of the user's choosing, leading to this error cropping up quite often.

    Could we have a way to restrict sales invoices only being posted to sales nominal account codes?

    Hi Nick, thanks for sharing your idea on preventing sales invoice lines from being posted to Overhead or Direct Cost codes. We're grateful for your engagement and for letting us know the changes that matter to you.

    We've reviewed your suggestion, and it's now ready to gain support from other community members.

    Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how restricting sales invoices to specific nominal codes could improve their experience and help prevent errors in Xero.

  18. Add numerical discount to invoicing in the mobile app. This is a feature on the browser, currently the mobile app only allows a % discount.

    When you go from browser to app having applied a £ discount on the invoice. The app converts it into a % and show different amounts.

    Hi team, appreciate your feedback and wanting consistency between the web and mobile functionality.

    While I can confirm our product team are aware and across the idea here we want to be honest that we don't have immediate plans for developing the ability to add amount discounts within the Xero Accounting app.

    We'll keep tracking the votes and interest through this idea and update you if there's any news to share.

  19. In app version, when we click omn Quotes then we see 2 options to choose- numer of quotes sent & number of quotes to invoice.
    When we click on number of quotes to invoice then we see all the quotes converted to invoice. But they appear as increasing order means oldest quote on top, we should have option to change the order i.e newest quote on top.

    Thanks for sending through your idea and highlighting what’s important to you.

    We’ve taken a look, and now it’s over to the wider community to get involved. If others you work with would benefit from this too, feel free to share it so they can add their vote.

    Other users can also jump in with comments to share how this would improve their experience in Xero—we’d love to hear more perspectives from the community.

  20. Re: New Invoicing - Reduce Number of steps and clicks (The original thread has had comments turned off, so I can't comment that it has made more steps, not less...)

    What has happened here...it is now taking eight tab clicks to get from Reference Number to the first box to input the item code...last week it was six...so the number of click has increased, not decreased.

    Also, when inputting an item code, I have multiple codes that have the same base code with different suffixes...is there are way to just get it to the shaded part that you select the…

    Thanks for taking your time to start a new idea with the specific flow you'd like to reduce steps in, Lynette. Just to check it sounds like you may be tabbing from the Reference field to the Item code field - Would this be correct?

    Being upfront this isn't something we have further changes planned for in the near term but it'll be good to gauge the interest from community around this, here.🙂
