Batch Payments - Remittance | Ability to print before downloading PDF
We process a large number of weekly payments in Xero,
and one of the biggest challenges we face is the time it takes to create and print batch payments.Currently, after selecting invoices from the Awaiting Payment tab and creating a new batch, we move to the Transaction: Batch Payment screen. At this point, the only option available is to generate a Batch PDF and then print it manually.
Because we handle anywhere from 25 to 55 batches each week, this “PDF first, then print” workflow is very time-consuming.
What I’d really like to know is whether there’s a way…
5 votesHi Leslie, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. At the moment the only way to print the batch is after downloading it. However, we suggest going to the Paid tab and selecting the invoices checkbox and clicking on the Print option, this will combine all the invoices/bills. While this is a workaround, we are opening this idea up to the community to gain more support. If you need further assistance with this, please reach out to our support team for a 1:1 with them.

Invoice reminders - Create a criteria to set based on reconciliation date
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.
2 votesInteresting 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.

Batch Payment Summary - Option to include bill descriptions or a configurable notes column
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…

Staff Invoicing and Quoting
I'd love for my staff to be able to login into xero to create invoices and quotes, and send them without being able to see the rest of the business accounts. Or has this been developed and can be done?

Repeating Manual Journals - Provide more frequency options
Once upon a time when we used TAS for our bookkeeping services, they had a very useful feature when processing recurring journals. We could choose separately months to correspond to the days clients being charged for. For example, we would pick January, March, May, July, August, October, December to process invoices for 31 days; February for 28 days; and April, June, September, November for 30 days. Once you have that set up initially, you don't have to think about adjusting recurring journals every month. At the moment, it takes me about half a day just to update over a hundred…
3 votesHi Anna, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We understand that having more options in terms of how often the journal should be repeated would be helpful and prevent extra admin. We'll open this up for the community to share their thoughts and vote on it. In the meantime, we'll monitor this space for traction.

Invoice | SMS - "Print pdf" button
Most of our customers prefer receiving invoices via SMS. When trying to print the invoice via the SMS link, it generates a 2-3 page online version of the invoice. Can you implement a "Print pdf" option that would generate the same concise layout used when previewing the invoice in Xero? Thank you!
2 votesGreat to get this sort of insight, Kelly. Thanks for sharing. We'd like to get a sense of the wider interest for being able to print PDF from the SMS invoice message, please feel free to share with any colleagues or customers that you know would find this useful so they can vote on this too.

Invoices - Add separate description / work carried out box
Please add a description box so that we can add additional information about the reason for the invoice. Being a garage we have to add description of car repairs carried out in the item line. Even if we could go right along the page with the text it would help a lot. At the moment invoices look messy and take up a lot of the page.
attached sample layout would be perfect...7 votesHi Lorraine, thanks for raising this idea.

Statements - Ability to include Credit note when making payment
New Statements with a pay now option are excellent. I feel it would be helpful for the customer to be able to select a credit note to pay to avoid overpayments.
Ie: customer has $400 in credit from December and a January invoice for $200 - on the January statement the customer is still allowed to select to pay the $200 invoice and not take up the credit note.
5 votesGreat to hear you like the pay now option on statements, Marney. Can see how it would be useful to be able to include and apply Credit Notes when making payment. We'll start to get a sense of the interest in this from others on your idea and I'll share if there are any updates for you on this.

Invoices - Bulk import | Allow to import Contact Default Dates
Request ability to bulk upload Contact default due dates into bulk imported Draft invoices containing no due date. Approval currently prevented due to missing due date but require that to be populated from Contact default data. Work around for individual invoices is to preview prior to Approval but that is time consuming for large numbers of invoices included in batch import.

Keep contact name/ email of copied invoice rather than from last invoice to that client
I have clients with several different contacts and I would like to keep the specific contact from the invoice that I am copying. Instead it copies the contact from the last invoice to that client.

Bills - Revert from Awaiting Approval back to Drafts
More than once I've accidentally clicked on submit for approval when I only wanted to save and leave the Invoice or bill in Drafts. It would be so handy if there was a 'revert back to drafts' option.

Invoices - Email | Remove '' View Online'' option
We’re happy with the new edit template invoicing experience, but would like full control over what appears on PDF invoices, specifically the ability to remove the “View Online” button.
Many invoices are printed or saved for offline use, where web links don’t make sense and can look unprofessional. For some businesses and customers, digital links on formal invoice documents are unnecessary or confusing.
Suggested solution:
Add a simple setting or template option to enable/disable the “View Online” button on PDF invoices, so businesses can choose what works best for them.Since it is our business, we need to have more…

Invoice Reminders - Option to change who reminders are sent to
INVOICE REMINDER EMAIL ADDRESS SAVED PER INVOICE - Enable invoice reminder emails to be captured and stored on a per-invoice basis, rather than reverting to the main contact.
For organisations with global customers, invoice recipients often vary by region, project, or business unit. In our organisation, a single customer can have multiple valid invoice contacts depending on the specific project.
Currently, reminder emails default back to the primary contact, forcing users to manually re-enter or amend the email address each time. This is inefficient, error-prone, and very labour-intensive at scale.
Allowing the reminder email address to be saved per invoice…

Search bar - Instant Search Focus for Faster Pasting / Typing
For years, Xero’s search bar worked in a way that allowed power users to click the search icon and immediately start typing or pasting. The input would automatically receive keyboard focus, so workflows that rely on quick data entry were seamless and efficient.
How it used to work:
Click the search icon (or press the search keyboard shortcut).
The search input was immediately focused.
Users could paste or type text instantly with no delay.
How it works now:
Clicking the search icon no longer guarantees immediate keyboard focus.
If you paste or type text too quickly after clicking, the paste…

Invoicing - Paste Multiple Cells into Invoice Lines
Why can’t Xero do basic spreadsheet-style paste???
This is honestly ridiculous: in 2026, Xero still can’t handle basic multi-cell paste like every normal grid on the web.
Everyone uses Excel, Google Sheets, Airtable. We copy blocks of rows and columns all day. In Xero, the same paste either dumps into one field or doesn’t work, so we’re forced into CSV import or manual entry. That is a massive waste of time for something that should be a baseline feature.
There is no technical excuse here. Airtable/Sheets don’t do anything magical. In a browser, multi-cell paste is just:
Clipboard text in…
34 votesHi Nic, thanks for sharing this idea. We can see how helpful it would be to paste invoice details straight from a spreadsheet. It'd make the process faster and easier, especially for longer invoices.
For now, one option is to use the Import feature. By pasting your spreadsheet data into Xero’s CSV template and uploading it, you can create invoices in bulk. It’s not quite direct copy-paste, but it’s a quicker way to handle larger invoices.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support to understand how many of you would find this useful. If you can, let us know what tool you’re copying from and which columns you’d most want to include, your feedback will help guide what we look at next.

Invoicing - Add font colour customisation to Standard Branding Themes
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
1 voteHi 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.

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.
