  1. Add terms and conditions to the bottom of all invoices on the "New Invoice Theme'
    Our T&Cs for engagement are over two pages long; having it as a secondary document or at the end of the invoice would be great.

    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback here. We understand it’s important to include your full Terms & Conditions with invoices to help support your business processes.

    At the moment, longer Terms & Conditions can be added by using an Advanced Invoice Template (DOCX).

    Standard invoice templates are designed for simpler layouts, while advanced templates give you more flexibility over formatting and document structure. You can add multi-page Terms & Conditions within the template, including as additional pages at the end of the document. Once uploaded, the full invoice and attached T&Cs will be generated each time the template is used for invoices.

  2. Label printing. It would be so much easier if having entered the name and address on an invoice we could then print the name and address directly onto a label writer (something easily done using Sage software). We are a publisher, selling books via a website to people who usually only ever make one purchase, so we don't want to create an unnecessarily massive contact list. At the moment we have to type their name and address onto the invoice, then type it all over again on the label writer software, thus doing the same thing twice with the chance…

    \Hi everyone, thank you for sharing your feedback via Xero Product Ideas. Because this suggestion hasn’t gained much traction within the community, this post will soon be removed. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant teams. If this remains a high priority for your business, we recommend re-submitting the idea to see if it generates renewed interest from other members. Thanks.

  3. Not sure if it's just me but in the last week or so I have noticed that quotes no longer show the item code, the quote terms box or our logo even though all the boxes are ticked to do so in the settings..?
    Really need these features back working please as we are now having to manually add/adjust these in the PDF before emailing clients.

    Hi everyone, thanks for bringing this to our attention. As this sounds like a system issue rather than a product idea, the best next step is to raise this with our support team so they can have a look into your organisation. We’ll close this thread here to make sure it’s directed through the right support channel.

  4. XERO should enter the customer front office era!!!
    We need:
    1) drag and drop invoice templates to replace the pre-historic existing templates and doing away with the "Billy Boy" word document interface for making invoice templates = the pre-history!
    2) add the ability to tune the PDF naming to include custom selected key element
    3) add the ability to use custome selected email naming for emailing invoices!!!!
    The most important part being invoice template tuning ... please PLEASE enter the 121st century!!!

    Hi Chantelle, thanks for sharing this feedback. We understand that having more flexibility over customer-facing documents and communications can help businesses keep their branding and workflows consistent.

    As this post includes multiple requests that are already being tracked individually, we've added your vote to the following ideas:

    With regards to the Invoice email customisation, this is already available in Xero. You can go to Settings > Email settings to edit your invoice email templates. From here you can update the email subject, body content, and use placeholders to automatically pull through key details like contact name, invoice number, and due date.


  5. 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.

    Hey Andreas, thanks for the idea content. We'll need some more detail for your post to be considered as an idea here. Currently when you copy an invoice over the only name available to select is the contact name and not other additional contacts that have been added to the contact record. This means that whether the invoice is the latest or the oldest the Contact name is the same when copying over.

  6. Hello,

    I would like to request a direct integration between Bookem (the South African practice management and EMR platform) and Xero. This integration would help healthcare professionals and clinics streamline their billing, payments, and reconciliation processes by syncing data between Bookem and Xero automatically.

    Key benefits:

    Automatic syncing of invoices and payments from Bookem to Xero
    Improved accuracy and efficiency in financial record-keeping
    Reduced manual data entry and reconciliation
    Better visibility of clinic finances within Xero

    Who would benefit:

    Healthcare professionals and clinics in South Africa (and other regions using Bookem) who use Xero for their accounting.

    This would make…

    Hi Sarah, thanks for engaging with us about this. We have a separate idea forum that's specifically for Integration and developer based requests that I'd recommend sharing your feedback through.

    I had a quick look but doesn't appear any other user has requested this yet so you can start one for this there that others may like to vote on and we have experts in that forum that can better review and keep you updated.

    Thanks for engaging in Xero product Ideas, Moses. Unfortunately we don't have enough detail to understand your needs or what you're wanting to see improved in Xero to help you move more efficiently.

    Welcome to restart your idea and share more detail about what you're looking to see and how this would help you get better use out of Xero. Thanks

    Hi Moses, similar to the other idea you recently started we need more information to be able to consider your idea.

    If you can share more detail of your needs and how your idea would help this will help others gravitate that may like to see this too.

  9. I often need to go to a clients file and look up previous invoices to see the last time they ordered a product, how much they had and what they paid etc . At the moment I just get a list of invoices we have raised for the customer and have to open them one by one to see the detail. It can take ages to find what I am looking for . I need to be able to quickly scroll through all the invoice description. My work round is to export details of all invoices raised each month to…

  10. Reconciling needs to cross reference the bank details of the customer as well as the amount paid. One of the biggest admin errors we face is when we auto match the wrong statement line to invoice. If the software was looking for the bank details too this would help avoid mis match.

    We'll need some more detail for your post to be considered as an idea here, Julia. If you can clarify which bank account you are wanting to match (I assume the bank account that the payment was made from) we will be able to ensure we can get your idea to the right people in product for consideration.

    If you'd like to update your idea, you can reply to this update and we'll re-review - See more details on the qualities of a good idea on Xero Central.

  11. When a quote is marked as Sent, Xero generates a shareable in.xero.com client link via the "Get Link" button.

    However this URL is not exposed anywhere in the API — the GET quote response doesn't include it, and /OnlineInvoice returns 404 for quotes.

    For anyone building quote workflows via the API, this means having to jump back into the Xero UI just to copy a link that already exists.

    Simple request: include the shareable URL in the GET quote response once status is SENT, similar to how OnlineInvoiceUrl works for invoices.

  12. I’m reviewing Xero plans for cost efficiency and assessing whether the Ignite tier can support an active small business workflow given the most recent pricing increases across all plans

    At present, Ignite allows 20 invoices per month and 5 bills per month. The issue is that the bill limit is reached almost immediately in a normal operating business (rent, suppliers, software subscriptions, utilities, contractors). As a result, the plan is not practically usable for ongoing bookkeeping without either changing how transactions are recorded or upgrading to Grow almost immediately.

    The current bill limit creates a structural gap in the entry-level…

    Hi Lauren, appreciate your feedback hear and the review you've provided of our ignite plan offering.

    While you feedback has been shared with our teams, we want to be upfront that we do not accept ideas about Xero pricing plans or plan structures as we cannot make commitments to ideas of this nature.

  13. Integration with Clover just like you have with Stripe and GoCardless. It is significantly cheaper than Stripe, and with costs increasing everywhere it would be nice to reduce some payment services costs.

    Thanks Mark for the suggestion around a Clover integration. As a note, Xero Product Ideas isn’t used for requesting new third-party integrations, since these are typically built by the third-party provider or through Xero’s API ecosystem.

    You may find it helpful to:

    1. Submit API-related requests via the Xero Developer Ideas page
    2. Reach out to Clover directly regarding integration interest
    3. Check the Xero App Store for any existing integration options

    Appreciate you taking the time to raise this.

    Hey Claudia, thanks for raising this with us. We think this is something you can discuss with Xero Support as there are options for Credit Card payments in Xero and they will be able to guide you. You can raise a case following this link: https://central.xero.com/s/raise-support-case.

  15. We use, and our customers see the HaloPSA Invoice number ($invoiceid), however Xero displays its own invoice number, with no place to cross reference the HaloPSA invoice number. We would like the HaloPSA invoice number somewhere in Xero so that we can easily cross reference it

    Thanks for sharing your feedback 🙂 HaloPSA built and manages the integration with Xero, so they control how the integration works and what information is sent through to Xero. Because of this, any changes to the way the integration behaves or the data that syncs would need to be reviewed by HaloPSA. If you’d like to explore whether this can be changed, you’ll need to contact HaloPSA directly. It may also be worth sharing this feedback on HaloPSA’s site, so their team can review it directly.

  16. If a customer wants a quote issued in a business name, I have to send an invoice because the Quote only uses the "Primary person-First name-Last name" fields, not the "Contact name" field (which can be a business name).
    I've had to approve a quote to convert it to an invoice, send the invoice but advise the customer that it's only a quote...

    Thanks for reaching out! By default, our standard branding theme pulls information directly from the Contact Name field on your contacts page.To display a business name instead, simply enter the company’s name into that field and then add any specific individuals as primary contacts within that record. If you prefer to show both the business and the individual person, you can use a DOCX template to insert the «ContactFirstName» and «ContactLastName» fields. You also have the flexibility to add a custom prefix, such as Attention: or Addressed to: before the name field.

    For a deeper dive into these steps, you can check out the linked help article here or contact our support team directly for one-on-one assistance.


  17. There is currently no way to locate the Stock Journal posting COGS for an invoice without do a search on the number and locating it separately. This is for invoices and Stock Journals integrating form Unleashed into Xero. It would be great to have a link on the invoice to go to the related Stock Journal.

    Hi Carolyn, thanks for sharing this idea. The suggestion is to add a direct link from Xero invoices to related inventory data to make reviewing stock movements easier.

    As this relates to invoices created through a third-party integration using the Xero API, it’s best raised through the Xero Developer Ideas page so it can reach the right team.
