  1. In the new "Record Payment" section on a sales invoice, it has lost the ability to remember the reference entered previously so i now have to retype the reference every time. Would be handy if we could have this back.

    Also i have to enter multiple payments for each sales invoice at the same time to go to different banks/accounts - it would be good if i could do this in one screen instead of having to reload the same invoice each time to add a payment.

    Thanks for your feedback on the recent update of the payment section on an invoice. I've made sure to share this back with our product team and we will keep you updated if there is any further updates planned around the reference behaviour you've described, here.

    Also appreciate that users that are making multiple payments would like to stay within the invoice and we have a separate idea for this here that we'll share any updates through.

  2. It would be good if Xero allows for stripe surcharge fee adjustment for both domestic and international customers, not just domestic customers.

  3. I have been a Xero customer for over 10 years and have referred dozens of businesses to the platform during that time. The primary reason we originally switched to Xero was its simplicity and clean interface. Unfortunately, the recent changes to the Bills section have completely undermined that simplicity.

    The new split-screen layout with the bill list on the left side of the screen is unnecessary and extremely distracting. When I open a bill, I need to focus on that bill only. There is no logical reason to display a list of other bills while I am working inside a…

    Hi Leoni, thanks so much for sharing this idea with us. We appreciate you taking the time to walk us through what you’re looking to achieve and adding those screenshots.

    We’ve moved your idea into Gaining Support, which means it’s now open for the wider community to vote and share their experiences. This helps us get a sense of how many people would benefit from this improvement.

    We’ll keep an eye on the feedback as it comes in, and if the idea gathers momentum, we'll provide you with further update.

    Thanks again for being part of the conversation.

  5. Allow invoices to be paid VIA Zelle. Some business bank accounts hook directly to zelle, they don't have any fees like stripe, etc. I prefer to get paid VIA Zelle so I can keep more of the money I earned.

  6. 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…

  7. 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.

    Great 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.

  8. Allow the customer to pay an existing sales invoice by Direct Debit (BACS DD in the UK) in instalments using the stripe payment method. allow us to set up the instalment plan on the invoice page e.g. number of instalments, the tool could split the invoice amount into equal instalments automatically which the user can overide, or be able to set the instalment amounts manually if you wanted to collect more at the first payment for instance. Direct debit mandate approval handled by Xero/stripe, progress of the instalment plan visible by customer on their online statement view, automated emails to…

  9. We require payment of cash sales before goods are sent to customer's, we need to know when payments have been made in real time in order to get the goods to our customers in a timely manner.
    I reconcile payments to the bank account everyday so I can see when invoices are paid via internet banking. When it comes to invoices paid via stripe however, there is no reconciliation until the money comes into the bank account, so I don't know that these invoices have been paid until well afterwards.

    This means customers are not receiving their goods when they…

  10. I'd like to enable one-click payments from customers when I send them an invoice, but only ACH, not credit card. As it is, if I enable ACH payments via Stripe, the system displays credit card options to the customer. When I try a custom branding theme without the credit card display, Xero will not allow any Stripe payment mechanism.

    Thanks for letting us know what you're tried, Roland.

    We appreciate you taking your time to share changes that would be most meaningful to you.

    If we make any plans for changes around the ways in which you can offer ACH for your customers I'll update you here.

  11. We currently have 3 different Xero accounts for different regional entities, but all payments need to flow through one Stripe account.

    At the moment you have to have an individual Stripe account for each Xero entity/account. It doesn't say this anywhere and when I tried to connect the account to a second Xero entity it began creating new Stripe accounts that I then had to delete.

    Being able to connect ONE Stripe account to all Xero accounts would be a huge help.

  12. Customer statements - will Xero enable the functionality to present payments received by customers as 1 line item? We want to see the total payment amount on the statement - not allocated to each invoice as it is currently.

  13. Please add option in Xero Payment Services to pass Zip transaction fees to customer on top of my invoice amount. At least most of the invoice amount will be paid to me.

    Like Stripe card payment service, pop-up could prompt payee to accept the fee on top of invoice amount. The 5-8% zip fee is too high to absorb for my sole trader businesses.

    In Xero > Settings > Payment Services - the Zip payment service could have some settings just like Stripe card payments has to choose that option of including fees in the amount or adding the zip…

    Hi everyone, though we appreciate you raising this idea with us, we don't have any intentions of supporting surcharging of Zip fees to customers from Xero invoices - There are some BNPL providers that have "no-surcharge" as part of their clauses, Zip being one of these. You can read more on their payment terms on Stripes website.

  14. Add a button to return to draft bills after you have approved a draft bill - at the moment you have to go back to bills overview and then click back into draft bills

  15. I was wondering if it was possible to get surcharge not added into the total charge that stripe uses to get their processing fee. I always thought that the surcharge total would be like the money that they took their charge from which is why I added the surcharge anyway. It ends up being that stripe adds the surcharge in with the base charge on the customer invoice and then takes out their processing fee. I don't think that is right though. It should be a way for stripe to only charge their processing fee to the base cost of…

    Hi community, we appreciate your feedback however upon reviewing this idea we're going to shift this to Not in pipeline as this is not something we can control from the Xero end.

    This is the way Stripe apply a surcharge on a payment.

    If this changes in the future and something we can revisit we will provide an update here. Thanks

  16. You have just rolled out the pay now button on online statements, however this is only for Stripe users.

    Can you allow other payment processors such as Square to this please (like we can for invoices already)

    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

    We can appreciate having more Statement payment options for users that do not use Stripe. We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Feel free to share this with your friends and colleagues if they'd like to see this functionality implemented. We'll monitor this space for further traction! :)

  17. the new customer statement link should be static i.e. never changes for each customer.
    the link should be visible to us from the contact page in xero.
    the link should also be a placeholder item that can be selected in email templates and also in invoice templates - via clickable link or even as a QR code, both in the docx invoice template and the new style templates.
    it doesnt make sense that the statement link is now only 'exposed' if you decide to send a statement by email. the statement link is such a powerful new feature. don't hide…

  18. e-invoicing notification

    It would be great if we could get some kind of notification when an e-invoice was received into draft. Without going into our process, not knowing when a e-invoice was received will cause delays in processing as well as paying it.

  20. From 1st January 2025 businesses in Germany must be able to receive e-invoices and this function does not exist in the Global edition we use for our German clients.

    We need this functionality setting up as a matter of urgency.

    Thanks for raising the idea with us. Our team are aware of the mandate of eInvoicing for Germany. While we don't have immediate work planned at this stage our plan is to support any Peppol-enabled region in the long term and we are paying close attention to the interest from users on this idea. We'll be sure to update of any progress surrounding this for you, here.

    The mandate currently states "The new legal regulation currently contains no specifications for the electronic transmission of electronic invoices. An email inbox should therefore initially be sufficient to receive an electronic invoice."

    Based on this, currently with Xero an eInvoice could be received by using our Email to bills service, or by including the invoice as an attachment and sending to your organisation's Files library. On agreement with your suppliers you could share your bills, or files library email with them so…
