Invoicing - Customers to pay deposits on invoices
To have the ability for customers to pay deposit through invoices
Purposes: Business can just send one invoice to customer/client, so they don’t have to send multiple invoices when it comes to part payment.
507 votesHi everyone, we’d like to round back to share an update that the ability to accept deposits has now rolled out to all AU, NZ, UK, CA, SG and US organisations, and we expect to make this available to remaining regions soon.
Staying close to feedback from its release, our team have recently added a due date field in which you can select a specific date that payment of the deposit is expected if this differs from the Invoice due date.
I look forward to looping back to finalise once we’re at 100% roll out of deposits, and give you a hint of where we’ll be expanding functionality next!

New Invoicing - Move Save button to bottom of invoice like classic
Please move the SAVE for the New invoicing to the bottom as per old invoicing. When you have an invoice with 30-50 items and then have to scroll back up to save it adds to the pressure of getting things done.
Or Better still
Leave the old there until you've got it together and your Paid subscribers are happy.
We are seriously looking at moving away from XERO due to all the changes you impose on us without proper UAT. More often than not it creates more work for us and causes more stress we just dont need in an…247 votesHi team, I know it's been some time since we last updated this idea. Please know we have close eyes on this feature and this is a change our product team are currently working on.
While we can't give a definite timeframe work is progressing well and we'll keep you updated of when this is available, here. Thanks for your engagement with us through product ideas.

Invoice Payment- Stripe Partial payments
Ability to have partial payments through Stripe.
Purpose: Users can easily set up partial payment in one invoice rather than having to create separate invoices.
246 votesHi team, I’m back again as the ability to accept deposits with Stripe has been released to the majority of regions (UK, US, NZ, AU SG, and CA) with sights set to get this to 100% asap.
Additionally to the feature we first rolled out, we've now added a due date field that allows you to set a specific date you expect payment of the deposit to be received and will be visible when sent to your customer.
Thanks again for your involvement in the idea here and helping us evolve Xero to better suit the needs of our customers.

Sales Invoices - Issue progress payments on invoices for project/instalment
Ability to issue progress payments on quotes /invoices to percentage claim certain items or expenses.
Purpose: Users can see the progress of the payments from their customer just from one invoice instead of sending separate invoices.
238 votesThanks for everyone’s continued support in this idea. We’d like to update here that accepting a deposit on an invoice is now live to all organisations that use Stripe in AU, NZ, UK, US, CA and SG with remaining regions soon to come.
We know this doesn’t yet cover fuller progress-payment and instalment workflows, and we recognise those are important for many of you. We’ll keep returning here with more news as work in this space evolves.

Invoices - Multiple due dates for payments/deposits along with the ability to offer trade terms
Ability to set up multiple due dates for payments/deposits.
Purpose: payments and deposits can be spread throughout different dates.
201 votesHi everyone, thanks for continuing to share the details behind your workflows here. We wanted to return with a meaningful step forward for this idea. As some users may have seen, we’ve released the ability to request a Deposit in Xero!
Enveloped in this we recently made an improvement to this so businesses can now set a specific due date when creating a new deposit, and that due date is shown clearly on the deposit request your customer receives.
We appreciate this doesn’t yet deliver the fuller outcome many of you describe here, such as multiple due dates across a full invoice, broader instalment-style payment schedules, or trade-term arrangements on a single invoice. But it's progress in this space.
I’ll be back to confirm once Deposits is completely released to all markets and share how we plan to evolve this further.

Sales Invoices - Allow to have column for backorders
To have a column of back orders/negative items within the Sales Invoices.
Purpose: Users can easily enter back ordered items rather than doing extra steps of adding 1 more item in their inventory.
115 votesHi team, I'm pleased to share that backorders capability is now in the process of rolling out to customers.
Once available in your org, you'll be able to approve sales invoices for tracked inventory even when there isn't enough available stock.
Your available stock will be allocated first, with the remaining quantity placed on backorder. As stock comes in it'll be automatically allocated to the oldest approved backorders.
You'll also see clearer inventory visibility through available quantity and backorder indicators in both your invoicing and inventory experience.
We'll keep monitoring feedback as availability expands, and I'll return to share another update once this is available to all users. Thanks!

Sales Invoices - Ability to bulk edit/update invoices
Ability to upload changes to existing invoices via csv.
Currently - When uploading a list of invoices that already exist, Xero will not allow the upload to continue. This feature would mean, that for any invoice that exists already, Xero would prompt the user whether they would like to update changes for existing invoices or not.
Purpose example - For invoices that need to have changes applied, for example amending the due date to an agreed revised payment due date. This change would enable the user to bulk update instead of needing to open each invoice manually and edit each…
97 votesHi everyone, thanks for continuing to highlight how much time you could save with this feature.
We’re working on an improvement to the Line Item Grid within the body of invoices, quotes, purchase orders, sales credit notes and the bills quick view that'll help speed up editing and solve some of the needs in this idea.
We'll be enabling the ability to drag the contents of a field in one row up or down a column, making it faster to update repeated line-level details like tracking, account codes, references or tax rates within an invoice, without needing to manually re-enter the same value line by line.
We appreciate this idea also highlights the need for more bulk actions to edit multiple invoices at once (not just within an individual invoice) and want to be upfront that this isn't something we have immediate plans of.
I'll keep you updated of the…

Invoices - Ability to bulk add and delete tracking on invoices
Ability to bulk add and delete tracking options on invoices
Purpose: Ease of updating old invoices and purchases.
92 votesThank you to everyone that's supported and highlighted how this feature would improve your workflows when invoicing in Xero.
I'm pleased to share that we are in the midst of developing the ability to update multiple cells of your invoice through drag and drop, or using keyboard navigation.
Once available, (like asked here) you'll be able to drag and drop tracking selected from one row to other rows of your invoice 😁
I'll come back to confirm once this is made available to you all!

Invoicing | Files - Ability to attach files before adding contact
This Function is Broken with New Invoicing - It does NOT create a new invoice with the file attached.
89 votesHi community, some time on from my last update we'd love to share further developments in this space with you here.
Since the rollout of our new Files inbox experience, our product teams are continue to enhance and grow out it's functionality across Xero.
For UK organisations we recently launched Smart document capture with intentions of rolling this out to all other regions soon. With Smart document capture Xero will automatically create documents for you to review from within Xero Files. So, while a contact will be required Xero will do a lot of the manual work for you and ensure the file remains attached to the created invoice 🙂
On the flip side we also have a team that is currently exploring how we might solve for wider needs around invoice details that are captured outside Xero and how to gets these in and automate the workflow for you.…

Invoice Branding - More Customisation and font options
I think the invoice customisation in Xero needs a major overhaul. Many of my clients have spent considerable amounts on graphic design, but the customisation process (downloading a Word doc, editing, and uploading) is a nightmare. The standard Xero invoices are really dated (such as the Mastercard or Visa logos, the payment slip footer, font choices etc), which means the better option is to upload a customised invoice. The problem I have is that most of the fonts I've tried seem to be unavailable once uploaded to Xero, with most reverting to Times New Roman, and that's an issue that…
81 votesHi team, I'm pleased to share an update with everyone here. As you may have noticed we've been rolling out a new branding experience with our new invoice editor.
This replaces the older Standard branding templates with the ability to quickly and easily modify the content and layout of your invoices. along with a preview so you can see what changes will look like to your customers. 🥳
It's in the process of being released to all users and I'll round back to confirm when available to all!

Branding - Improve logo size and resolution on transactions
Ability to add bigger better quality logo's at the top of the body of invoices sent as emails.
132 px x 37 px ends up so tiny and always blury (I have tried all formats but some sort of extra compression is going on in the backend. Don't look so good for us graphic designers ;-)ps: screen shot attached so you can see where I mean, designscope logo always blury :-(
81 votesHi community, happy to provide an update to you all here. As some may have already started using - we've introduced our invoice template editor which is currently available to all NZ, AU, UK and US organisations and soon to be with all other regions.
Along with a slicker, smoother experience being able to customise and personalise the look of your invoices this new standard branding option has no restrictions on logo resolution or size. Find out more about this feature on Xero Central.
I'll be back to confirm once this has been release to remaining regions!

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…
66 votesHi everyone, we totally get wanting more efficiency in entering repetitive data into your invoices, especially when updating longer invoices.
We’re working on an improvement to the line item grid of invoices that’ll make repeated column-based entry much faster. 😊
Once out, you'll be able to drag the contents of a field in one row up or down a column, making repeated updates much easier when entering things like account codes, tracking or tax rates.
I’ll round back to share once this is available to you all here.

E-invoicing - United Arab Emirates
E-Invoicing in the UAE.
This will soon be a requirement in the UAE with legislation to be passed on this.
Please can we as Xero users have a standard process template for this.60 votesHi everyone, thank you for supporting and sharing of your e-invoicing needs with us through Xero Product Ideas.
We appreciate those that have linked to our web page - I'd also like to confirm here that e-invoicing and VAT support for United Arab Emirates is currently in development working toward the ASP requirements.
We will keep you looped in on updates for this here, however want to confirm that we intend to have a solution available in the next few months.
I'll share as there are more details around the progress and how e-invoicing will work for your business with Xero.

New Invoicing - Type the date manually, without / delimiters
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
45 votesThanks 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.

Invoicing - Show Delivery Address on invoices by default
Enable the option for invoices to by default display both billing and delivery addresses.
41 votesHi 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!

Invoice Templates - Standard Invoice Branding Theme to look more like Online Invoice
Ability to replicate standard invoice branding theme appearance to look like online invoice.
Purpose: To make the standard invoice appearance better and more presentable.
33 votesHi everyone, we're excited to share that we are in the process of releasing a new experience for branding with the new Invoice template editor!
Eventually replacing the Standard branding experience, the new editor allows you to customise and personalise the look of your invoices in a simple form, with a side by side view so you can instantly see how changes will look on invoices sent to your customers. This is in the process of rolling out to all regions, already readily available in AU, NZ, US and the UK. 😊
I'll be back to share once the roll out is complete.

Invoice Templates - Drag and drop invoice designer
How come the process of designing invoices is so painful? It would be great to have a built-in drag and drop invoice designer. I realise it won't be easy but it's mad that our only option is to design them in Word. There are so many sites that allow similar functionality, albeit for non-finance related areas like marketing.
32 votesHi everyone, thanks for engaging and sharing how this feature could improve your experience using Xero. I'm happy to announce that we have rolled out a new invoice template editor which is currently available to AU, UK, US and NZ organisations.
This new experience allows you to easily upload your business logo, auto applies your branded colouring and has simple tools to customise the look of your invoices, with an easy side by side view to see what a change will look like!
Get in and have a try if you haven't already, I'll round back to confirm once this live to all regions. 😊

Invoices: Bulk update invoice all lines
It would be extremely helpful to have a 'master' input at the top of each column of a quote / invoice / bill etc so that the master input is then auto-populated under that column heading for all line-items of the quote / invoice / bill.
For instance, my sales code is likely to be the same for each item of a given invoice, and yet I need to input this code as many times as the number of line-items in the invoice - rather than just once. Same for eg tax code and, in my case, I have a…
30 votesHi community, thanks for continuing to share how time-consuming it can be to repeat the same details across multiple lines in an invoice, quote or bill.
We’re working on an improvement to the line item grid of these transactions that'll improve the process for you all here.
We're developing the ability to drag the contents of a field in one row up or down a column to apply it across other line items. There will also be keyboard options for those that prefer not to use a mouse.
Once available, this’ll make it much easier to repeat details like tracking, account codes and tax rates across line items without re-entering the same value over and over.
I'll be back to share once this is rolled out, with more detail on how to make use!

New invoicing - Ability to add Account Code within the invoice
It would be helpful and efficient to be able to make or add an account code straight from the "account code" dropdown in the bill/invoice/journal without needing to go to chart of accounts to make a new one. Currently, users still need to go to the chart and then go back to the bill/invoice/journal but since this refreshes the page, it erases all the data already filled up in the invoice.
22 votesHi team, I'm pleased to share that we are moving this idea to In development. We know ease of being able to create new accounts while you invoice is useful to our customers and our team have a focus on this.
I'll be back to share when this is ready and shipped to you all 🙂

Malaysia E-Invoicing - Two columns to show when validated versus viewed
Regarding the Invoice interface on the Sent Column, perhaps can Xero make it into two instead? One is for the Validated E-Invoicing & the other one is for customer. The reason is now, when we send to MyInvoice, every thing has become "viewed" instead. So now I don't know whether my customer did view or not.
I also suggest the MyInvoice under the Sent column, once the e-invoice validated, can it changed to "validated" instead of "viewed"? Like that we do not need to open another tab at the History and Notes to look up for it.
13 votesHi team, we appreciate your feedback here. Very soon we'll be releasing a dashboard for e-invoicing in Malaysia that'll help with your needs here.
It'll highlight the e-invoicing status for each transactions, and show where data is missing, helping to generate, validate and submit consolidated e-invoices. I'll be back to confirm once this is live to you all. Thanks
