  1. Current user role permissions require the Standard or Advisor role to use the auto pay feature for invoices. However, this role also reveals financial information that a sales rep should not have. Our sales reps, therefore, have Invoice Create/Edit capabilities. Within these capabilities, or perhaps as an optional toggle, I would like them to be able to set up auto pay and see if it is active so they can get it set up for clients as part of the closing process.

  2. 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. 🙂

  3. Allow all feilds to appear on a Xero invoice not just the select few.
    currently there can be added https://central.xero.com/s/article/Fields-you-can-insert-into-a-custom-template-AU#Invoicetemplatefields

    Should include everythig in the contact cards, like Fax, 2nd mobile, and all the other fields.

  4. 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. 🙂

    Hi Toni, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand how valuable it would be to quickly copy text directly into the New Item window from the invoice line items, and we see the opportunity to improve this experience.

    This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage! Your votes and comments help us understand the demand for this feature. We'll be sure to update this post with any further updates.

  6. In the iOS app: Create an Invoice. When you are selecting the customer to invoice: Who is it for?

    Once you tap this field, a search window appears and you start typing customer name to find.

    Below the search field it would be nice to have a list of the top 5-10 customers you have create invoices for.

    Hi Todd, thanks for your idea about creating a 'Frequently Invoiced Customer List' for the Xero Accounting app. We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know the changes that matter to you.

  7. 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.

    Thanks for taking the time to suggest how Xero could better support sending quotes and invoices to multiple contacts.

    As you may be aware, you can currently create invoices for contact groups and these can be sent in bulk from the invoice overview page. However, this functionality is currently not available for quotes.

    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 vote too!

  9. Though I am grateful and happy that the "New Invoice - Cursor Default Position" was resolved, thank you, it is now affecting the amount of time it takes for the draft to autosave after entering/selecting the contact. The amount of time it takes for the draft to autosave is significantly longer now than it was before the cursor position was fixed. The draft is still "saving" even after I have entered the rest of the information into the date, invoice number, and reference fields. And yes, I have let it complete saving before moving on to any other fields, it…

    Thanks for sharing, Angela. With the way autosave works, you should be able to just keep drafting your invoice and it will save in the background. So you don't need to wait.

    If you're noticing a significant lag in the invoice saving, this is best investigated by our team of specialists. I'd recommend raising a case with our Xero Support team on Xero Central who can take a closer look into this with you 1-on-1 🙂.

  10. There are times I want to create several invoices within a group, but not the whole group. For example, in the Equine Lessons Group, there are contacts who take private lessons, group lessons, and/or homeschool lessons. Each contact may also be at a different skill level, therefore a different class. I would like to be able to select which contacts to invoice for Level 1 Homeschool Lesson, or for Level 3 Homeschool Lesson, or even Equine First Aid, depending on who, when , and what course is being taken.

  11. I’ve integrated Pabbly Connect with Xero to automatically create invoices. The workflow in Pabbly shows a successful execution, but not all invoices are actually being created in Xero.

    Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Is there a way to debug what might be going wrong between the successful webhook execution and invoice creation in Xero?

    Additional Details:

    The webhook receives all required data including customer, line items, and invoice date.

    Pabbly workflow shows "Success" status after sending data to Xero.

    However, when I check Xero, some invoices are missing entirely.

    No error message is shown in Pabbly.

    This happens only…

  12. What Xero management fail to appreciate that having this feature they will obtain a substantial number of customers who need this feature and many more that are using QuickBooks. If anyone know of an alternative please share on this channel. I'm exploring Thriday to make this feature available soon.

  13. In repeating invoices we often use the tax year mostly in this format 2025/26 but also 25/26.
    Whilst we can use placeholders [year]/[year+1] to give us 2025/2026 it is not ideal and this would need changing after the December invoices which is administratively the same as manually changing the tax year in the invoices at the beginning of the tax year.
    It would be good to be able to use [taxyear] and not have to change it again.
    This would be really easy to implement, therefore it probably will be overlooked. Here's hoping.

  15. You've finally forced us into the new invoicing. Lots of promises were made to fix what was broken with it. Unfortunately these promises are just as broken as the new invoicing. Here's what needs fixed:

    1. When a new invoice comes up automatically set the focus to the name field so it's ready to receive data. Have to click on it.

    2. Fix the date field. If I use the down arrow key it opens up the date widget But then using the left and right arrow keys should move the date off of the current date to either tomorrow or yesterday.…

    Thanks for your feedback, Randall. I want to assure you we're still working on features and improvements within new invoicing.

    In order for others in community to know what they're voting for and help our product teams get understanding of the specific changes our customers would like to see it's best that these are tracked separately on product ideas site. There are existing ideas for some of the points you've raised here.

    Relating to your point on the date field - I'd recommend connecting with our specialists to confirm the behaviour that you're getting and the specific date field this is related to. Once you press enter or space after opening the calendar widget you should be able to use your keyboard arrow keys to navigate the calendar.

    I'll update the title of your idea…

  16. Workpapers 'Custom Work Programme' custom tables do not export when - the space where they should appear is blank / incomplete.

    We don't really understand why the workpapers would allow tables that cannot be exported, as from our perspective the purpose of workpapers is to guide and record preparation procedures followed.

    From our perspective this is not a product idea request but rather an oversight or error that needs to be resolved.

    Thanks for your valuable input, everyone. We've heard your needs and have developed new Xero Workpapers with our customers front of mind. With the new solution you'll be able to include custom tables and worksheets, whether they're blank or partially completed in exports.

    We'll be staggering the rollout with Australia first off, and will keep you updated of it's release as it widens here. In the meantime you can read about it on our Xero blog.

  17. New Invoicing - bring back the 'save and continue adding' button in drafts, a feature classic invoicing offered. When completing invoices with multiple lines it is imperative that it you can save during input without having to save and close. Especially now that the new invoicing is unreliable.

    Hi Meradene, as new invoicing also encompasses auto save there is no need to manually save your invoice. Once you've added a Contact, as you move between fields of your invoice Xero will continuously save any data you've entered.

    It sounds like you may be having trouble with this though and if you're finding you're loosing information you've entered I'd really encourage reaching out to our specialists at Xero Support who can take a closer look to investigate what's going on for you.

  18. It’d be awesome if the last column “total price AUD” was an editable field in the invoice template PDF so I can edit and print an invoice when doing home visits without wifi

    Hi Zachary, appreciate you sharing your feedback on how you'd find Xero even more powerful for your business.

    Being upfront we don't typically develop integrations ourselves. However we have a Developer Centre where interested parties can get information if they'd like to develop an integration with Xero.

    I'd recommend connecting with Nab bookKeeper to see if this is something they'd be interested in building and you're welcome to share the link above.
