  1. When printing a PDF the file opens in a new tab so it can be printed instead of downloading the file. Xero downloads the PDF to file when the "Print PDF" button is clicked creating file clutter and unnecessary steps to print a PDF. It would be useful if the PDF opened in a new tab and could be printed immediately without downloading the file first like other accounting software does. This will save time and clutter in files.

    Thank you for your suggestion to have PDFs open in a new tab or preview window for easier printing.

    Currently, as you know, Xero downloads PDFs directly to your device before you can print them. While we’ve looked into opening PDFs in a new tab, there are challenges like browser pop-up blockers and security concerns that make this difficult to support smoothly for everyone.

    At this stage, there are no plans to change the current process. However, your feedback is valued, and you can continue to share your thoughts and support for this idea on our product ideas page.

  2. When adding many backup files to an Invoice it would save time if there was a check box to "attached ALL files to online Invoice" rather than having to tick each file.

  3. When using the mobile app, currently once an invoice has been completed and emailed, it says "unpaid invoice" in a blue banner at the top. It is sometimes difficult to notice the little popup which says "invoice sent" at the bottom, and this could lead to the invoice being sent again.

    Changing the color of the banner at the top (i.e. to green) would be a nice visual indicator the email has already been sent.

    Hi Brandi, thanks for sharing this idea. We can see how a color-coded banner could make it easier to manage on the mobile app. We have moved this idea to Gaining Support, which means the Xero community can now vote and comment to show their interest. If this is something your peers would like to see as well, we'd love for you to share this with them and welcome others to join the conversation and add their support. We'll keep an eye on how this develops and share updates along the way.

  4. When sending a new invoice to a client with multiple contacts, I find the most recent invoice relevant to the current project and copy the email details from the History and Notes entry for the action Invoice Sent.
    If there is more than one email address, the old invoicing used to recognise that a comma separated the email addresses. I could paste that into the 'To' box without issue.
    BUT IN THE NEW INVOICING, I get an error message when pasting multiple emails into the 'To' box: "One or more email addresses are invalid."
    This means that I have to…

  6. When you export invoices, it gives you multiple lines for any invoice which has more than one line. It is therefore not possible to easily total up the amounts due because some invoices are on there multiple times meaning the values are overstated.

    Hi Stewart, is there a way you see the export being more helpful for you. For example would you be looking for a summary of each invoice? The Receivable Summary and Detail reports maybe useful for this sort of view and can be exported.

    Further to our previous update on this request, we'll continue to track the interest for adding multiple lines at once from this idea.

    As for this idea, the community can add their votes and comment to share additional detail about how this idea could also improve their experience with Xero.

  9. On the classic invoicing there is a send button at the top by email, print pdf etc that you can use to send to another xero customer. This feature is no longer on the new invoicing version. It would be good to have the send button back

    Hi Samantha, when referring to send would this be the 'Email' button in classic?

    If so this is actually still available in new invoicing, you'll find the option in the 3 dot menu at the top of the page 🙂

  10. Purchase Orders - ability for the suppliers that you send the Purchase Order, to view the document online and have the option to import the Purchase Order to Quotes and Sales Invoices.

    The Purchase order area of Xero feels a bit underdeveloped at the moment. However, one strong step would be to allow Purchase orders sent by Company A from their Xero account to be transferred to Company B's Xero Sales area at the click of a button (giving an option of Quote or direct to sales invoice).

    This is already set up on the Sale side, where Company A…

    Hi there, we appreciate your suggestion. It's a thoughtful idea that touches on a key part of the procurement process. We understand that the current method of emailing PDFs and relying on suppliers to recreate the information on their side requires some manual work.

    An online view of purchase orders, along with the ability for suppliers to convert those into a quote or invoice in Xero, would help make this a much smoother experience for everyone involved.

    At the moment in Xero, purchase orders can be converted into bills, which you can then send to suppliers, and quotes can be converted into invoices to be sent to customers. However, there isn’t a way for suppliers to view a purchase order online and import it into their organisation as a Quote.

    This idea is currently in the Gaining Support phase, so we’re keeping a close eye on feedback and interest from…

  11. In an ideal world when a client pays us via Stripe 100% of the fee would be reconciled and XERO/Stripe would invoice us separately on a regular basis for the applicable Stripe fees.

    Hi team, thanks for sharing with us here.

    Reviewing the idea here, we want to be open that this isn't something we will develop.

    This is how Xero/stripe surcharges, and you can set the relevant % surcharge. Once the payment has processed the surcharge amount is paid as part of the payout amount.

  12. When your quote involves different vendors, it would be nice to have the option to create POs with a click of a button for all the vendors but because you can't specify a vendor for each item then at least let us select the line items. Also very important, any additional information that was added to the description during the quote / invoice process should be carried over to the PO.

    Thanks for sharing this idea. This partial-copy feature might be used whenever you need to copy a quote or invoice to another transaction, such as another quote or draft invoice.

    We've reviewed this idea and now it's up to the wider community to get behind it.

    Please share this idea with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can add their votes and comments too!

  13. Classic view invoicng compared to the new view invoicing. The new version shows figures entered as 123456789.00 but Classic View correctly shows 123,456,789.00. All figures should be shown in 123,456,789.00 format. It's accounting after all! This is not a suggestion, this should be a bug fix, especially before new invoicing is enforced.

  14. When creating a new invoice, the search scope includes every contact in the database, every vendor, evert coffee shop or gas station anyone ever used a credit card at. Xero knows which contacts are Customers (there's a Customer Invoice report), it should pull from Customers only. For the use case where someone is invoicing someone for the first time, they can open that Contact and then click New Invoice.

    Appreciate you sharing your feedback with us here, Rob. Understand how this could help you find the contact you're after if your supplier and customer lists are quite separated.

    We'll get a sense of others that would also like to see this from your idea here. If there are any updates we'll let you know.

  15. Please can there be a functionality in Xero to create a template that splits the invoice into two or more codes.

  16. It is common for subscriptions to automatically attempt rebill 3 times, most customers expect this if there is a temporary card issue, it can be communicated with them in the failed payment notification. They shouldn't have to manually setup up the subscription again, especially if using the same card.

    Also if a customer is going going ahead with a subscription service, it makes sense that autopay is the default setting on the invoice. There needs to be the ability to disable it if they want to pay by bank transfer for example, but the default should be that their card…

    Hi Justin, thanks for your idea here. We noticed you have two ideas in the one post. We've actually found another idea that is similar to the defaulting you mentioned, so I've added your vote to this here.

    I've adjusted the idea for the re-billing of Failed payments and we will track support from other users on this here.

  17. Ability to cc and bcc when sending emails from xero.

    This would be very useful as we have many clients that like to have various other people copied in.

    Hey Freya, thank you for raising your idea to add CC'd email addresses for Invoice History. This sounds like it could really improve the tracking and auditing of historic invoices.

    We have reviewed your idea and now it can gain support from other community members.

  18. Invoices Australia
    An update in the last few months bought inconsistency into the invoicing format in terms of the decimal points on the unit pricing. It would be good to be able to define this - to two, three, four decimal points so that there is consistency on the invoices rather than some units at two and some at four decimal points.

  19. Stripe allows you to turn on/off additional services like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link by Stripe. However, these controls are DISABLED when integrating with Xero, which creates a problem. We moved invoicing to Xero specifically because it allows you to dynamically add a surcharge for credit card payments -- but, by automatically adding Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link, you're allowing payers to bypass the surcharges! You should re-enable those controls through Stripe, allowing users to CHOOSE whether or not they want to use those payment services.

    Hi there, thank you for sharing this idea.


    I can see how the inability to toggle specific digital wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay creates an issue when you are trying to manage surcharges effectively.


    Since there isn't currently a way to disable these specifically within the Xero-Stripe settings while keeping standard credit card payments active, I’ve moved this to 'Gaining Support' to see how many other users are impacted by this.

  20. The button to view attachments was at the top of the page in classic invoicing but is at the bottom in new invoicing. Our sales transactions are imported from our point of sales software via API. Every sales invoice has an attachment and we now have to pointlessly scroll down to the bottom of every invoice before we can view the underlying report. Please put the attachment button back in an accessible place!
