Quotes - Save default Title and Summary for quotes
Would be great to be able to save a default, or even multiple templates, for the Quote TITLE and SUMMARY. We are currently retyping or copy+pasting common quote titles and descriptions for every single quote. Most of our quotes have the same title and a similar description, that could be built into a template or default text if you'd add that feature.
13 votesHey Dean thanks for bringing this Idea to us, we always appreciate our customers thoughts on how we can improve Xero! This Idea has been moved to Gaining Support so others can vote and comment on this. We also wanted to let you know that there is a work around for tis idea, you can create a draft quote with all the relevant details and use that as a base to 'copy to' to reduce the time spent filling out the same details. Don't forget to let you friends and colleagues know they can vote on this idea now 🙂.

Invoice | Email Settings - Option to hide Amount Due, Due Date, and Invoice Number from invoice email templates
Sales Invoice Emails sent - Remove Amount Due, Due Date, Invoice Number under the logo. For ecommerce sales invoices where customers have already paid when the order is placed online, I'd like to be able to email them an invoice with just the company logo. Having the zero dollars and due date there is confusing for my customers.
3 votesThanks for bringing this to the community. We understand the request for an option to remove the Amount Due, Due Date and Invoice Number from the invoice email.

Invoices - Add separate description / work carried out box
Please add a description box so that we can add additional information about the reason for the invoice. Being a garage we have to add description of car repairs carried out in the item line. Even if we could go right along the page with the text it would help a lot. At the moment invoices look messy and take up a lot of the page.
attached sample layout would be perfect...19 votesHi Lorraine, thanks for raising this idea. We understand having a separate description to describe a summary of work carried out would be a useful field to have. We'll open this idea up to the community to gain more support.

Invoice: Round GST on subtotal only rather than line-by-line
This is based on an actual example.
I had an invoice for around $15000 which consisted of around 10 line items. It appears Xero calculates GST per line item which is rounded (which is fine) and then for the total at the bottom appears to add up the rounded line items. What this meant in my case was that the GST total was 1 cent out where on my invoice it showed $2037.59 and on the purchase order I had it was $2037.58. The latter was the correct amount. What this meant was that this was enough for a big…

Invoice templates - Enable the new branding theme for quotes
Currently quotes use the "fallback theme" rather than the new invoice branding themes. This gives an inconsistent output which is unprofessional.
Quotes should use the new invoice branding themes.
No functionality should be lost in the transition. Currently in the "fallback" theme, the title can be changed from Quote to Estimate, which must be maintained.
5 votesThanks for raising this with us here, Jason. We appreciate your feedback on the new invoice experience and how expanding this to other document types would be beneficial and help with consistency.
This is something we have intentions of longer term, however we don't have a timeframe of just yet. I'll keep you informed of any updates for this here.

Invoice Templates - Add support for multiple logos
Be able to add in more than one logo into the new invoice template and to be able to add in additional information / make it more editable to make it more personal to the use. For example Gas Safe Logo and Oftec Logo for a plumber alongside license numbers and additional wording for advertisement.
4 votesThanks for raising this suggestion. Having multiple logos available on standard invoice templates could make it easier for businesses to display their branding and accreditation badges.
Currently, to include multiple logos, you can combine them into one image or use an Advanced DOCX Invoice Template to customise their placement.
Regarding the ability to add additional business information, this is already available through the Additional business details field in the invoice template, which can be used for business or licence details.
We’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If this would be useful, add your vote and let us know what other customisation options you’d like to see.

Multicurrency - Align exchange rate decimal precision between invoices and payments
Disclaimer: I am a user who manages the daily exchange rates in Xero.
I’d like to suggest three improvements to the exchange rate functionality:
Automatically apply exchange rates based on the selected date
When creating a Receivable or Payable Invoice, the exchange rate should be automatically populated based on the currency rules set under Accounting Settings → Currencies for the date selected by the user. This would eliminate manual input and ensure consistency.Allow higher or unlimited decimal precision
When setting daily exchange rates, please consider allowing unlimited decimal places, or at least a higher and consistent decimal limit across…
4 votesAppreciate you sharing this feedback. We understand the request to align exchange rate precision between invoices and payments to reduce rounding differences.
We’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and comments from the community.
To clarify on your other suggestions, rates are populated using the transaction date and the organisation’s currency settings, with the option to override them using Set exchange rate. As such, you can set a custom exchange rate for a specific currency and date, and that rate will apply to new invoices and bills created for that date, helping keep them consistent
I’ve also found a similar idea covering your request for more than six decimal places in exchange rates and added your vote to the idea.

Invoicing - Calendar run from Monday - Sunday (UK)
ISO 8601, the international standard for date and time formatting (adopted in the UK), defines Monday as the first day of the week. In invoicing Sunday seems to have been adopted recently and I can see from another thread this was deliberate, but this is NOT UK standard and our calendars adopt a Monday start so will confuse all UK users. Maybe adopt a setting where the user can define the setting instead of trying to suit the whole world...
37 votesThanks for your feedback, Sally. We appreciate there may be different preference for this.
You're right this was a brief change that was made in invoicing however in consistency with how calendars appear in other areas of Xero this has been changed back and we also received feedback for calendars to run Sunday - Saturday.
While we will track the interest from others in this here we want to be upfront that we don't have any further plans for changing start dates of this calendar.

Invoicing - Option to select and carry over file attachments when copying a Quote to an Invoice
Currently, when creating an invoice from a quote, there is no option to carry along the documents to the invoice that are attached to the quote. We upload the purchase order to the quote, but then we have to upload it again to the invoice. There should be a tick box function, like there is for marking the quote as invoiced, to select whether to carry the documents over to the invoice, and even an option to select only some documents to carry over.
2 votesAppreciate you bringing this to the community. The main request is to keep relevant Quote attachments available when the Quote is copied into an Invoice, without requiring them to be uploaded again.
Giving users control over which files are copied could make the quote-to-invoice workflow more flexible.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this could improve your invoicing workflow, add your vote and share your preferred setup.

Invoice Payments | Stripe - Set credit card payment limit
A feature that allows us to set a maximum dollar threshold for online credit card gateways (like Stripe) would be extremely helpful.
For example, if an invoice total exceeds our chosen amount of $10,000, Xero can automatically disable or hide the "Pay Now" Stripe option on the online invoice, forcing the customer to only use EFT/Bank Transfer.
Currently, we have to create separate manual branding themes for high-value invoices to prevent massive credit card merchant fees. Following the RBA's decision to abolish passing surcharge fees to clients, our business would find it extremely helpful to cap credit payments. Thanks!
3 votesThanks for sharing this feedback. Being able to set a payment threshold for Stripe on Xero invoices could help prevent high-value invoices from being paid by card unintentionally, reducing the risk of unexpected processing fees.
In the meantime, you can create a dedicated branding theme without Stripe or other online payment services and select it for invoices that exceed your preferred limit.
We’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering community feedback. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share your use case.

Reactivate Quotes that are Deleted by Accident
Hi,
Could there be an option to reactivate a quote if it was deleted, in error instead of having to copy the deleted quote to a new one?
This is based on our business using Quotes like Sales Order.
Thanks
Dave

Organisation Settings - Option to add Legal Terms of Trade
Xero urgently needs native Terms of Trade support.
Right now, the only option is attaching multi-page T&Cs to invoices — this is clunky, unprofessional, and not how modern businesses operate. REF:Advanced Invoice Template (DOCX)We need:
A short-form legal clause on invoices and quotes
A clickable link to full Terms of Trade
A single, centralised setup in organisation settingsInvoices should be clean and readable, not overloaded with pages of legal text just to remain enforceable.
This is a basic business requirement, not a workaround:Improves professionalism
Reduces friction with customers
Supports legal enforceability
Aligns quotes, invoices, and onboardingXero…
7 votesHi, 💥Thanks for sharing this idea and for explaining the need so clearly. We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support while we continue to learn more about how customers would like this to work in Xero.
We understand the request is for a simpler, more professional way to include legal Terms of Trade on invoices and quotes, such as a short legal clause, a link to full terms, and a central place to manage this in organisation settings, without needing to attach extra pages to each document.
If this would be valuable for your business, please keep voting and add a comment with more detail about your use case.

History and Notes - Links to quotes from Invoice when copied over
Track or link quote to purchase order to bill to invoice. This would allow you to track the full life cycle of a deal
10 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.
In Classic Invoicing, there was a history and notes link between the quote and the invoice when the invoice was copied from the quote.
At the moment, that same history link isn’t available for quotes copied to invoices in the newer experience. We understand how helpful that audit trail is, especially when you need a clear record between the two transactions, so this is being moved to gaining support for the quote to invoice history workflow.
However, we are happy to say that this is still available in bills copied over from purchase orders , the link is still available above the history section

Tap to Pay iOS - Allow to chose the amount paid
Allow customer to choose payment amount especially in iPhone app tap
And pay feature. My clients pay a deposit but sometimes pay in instalments. There’s no option to choose a specific amount … it’s all or nothing.4 votesThanks for sharing this idea — I can see why this would make a difference for businesses taking deposits or stage payments 🙂
I’m going to move this idea to Gaining Support so we can get a better sense of how many people want this too. If it would help your workflow, please add your vote and share a comment about how you’d use it — that kind of detail really helps the product team understand the need.
We’ll keep an eye on the feedback here and share any updates when we have them.

Contact Credit Limit - Notify when Credit Limit is or close to being reached
Notify the client that a Customer has reached (or is reaching) their credit limit automatically via email - the prompt when invoicing is useful but when doing a virtual finance function for a client, an automatic notification to be produced when a customer is reaching the credit limit would be beneficial and would reduce the need for additional external communication
7 votesThanks so much for sharing your idea!! We can see how helpful it would be for Xero to automatically notify you when a customer is close to, or has reached, their credit limit.

Search bar - Instant Search Focus for Faster Pasting / Typing
For years, Xero’s search bar worked in a way that allowed power users to click the search icon and immediately start typing or pasting. The input would automatically receive keyboard focus, so workflows that rely on quick data entry were seamless and efficient.
How it used to work:
Click the search icon (or press the search keyboard shortcut).
The search input was immediately focused.
Users could paste or type text instantly with no delay.
How it works now:
Clicking the search icon no longer guarantees immediate keyboard focus.
If you paste or type text too quickly after clicking, the paste…
11 votesHi Sally, thanks for sharing your idea, we appreciate hearing how bringing back the old search engine or improving the current one could make a difference to you. We'll continue to monitor this for more traction and keep you posted here. Cheers

Quotes - Show as Estimate in addition to Quote
We would like the option to provide an "estimate" for our Customers, rather than a quote. In our industry, we don't know exactly what items will be required, until we have started the job. If we give our Customers a quote, they expect us to honour the price quoted. An estimate gives us more flexibilty with the specific items we need to order and charge for.
15 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. While this feature is not possible at the moment, you are able to use an advanced invoice template to show the quote name as Estimate. You can then switch between either one of the branding themes for when you want it to show as an estimate.

Invoices - Allow Credit Notes to be marked as "Sent" after they have been allocated
If a credit note has been applied to an invoice, Xero blocks us from marking the credit note as "sent".
Xero then shows this error message:
"Credit note wasn’t marked as sent.
Editing is not available for credit notes that have invoice allocations or cash refunds applied, so they cannot be marked as sent"According to support this is the intentional behaviour.
When a credit note has been allocated to an invoice or has a cash refund applied, you can only edit certain fields - specifically the Contact, Credit Note #, Reference, Description, Account and Tracking fields.
However, the "Sent"…
10 votesHi Josh, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand how Credit Notes not being able to be marked as “Sent” after allocation can create confusion when the document has already been issued.
Separating the “Sent” status from allocation or edit activity would help keep tracking clearer and more consistent with how the document is used.
We’ll continue monitoring interest and use cases shared here.

Invoices - Add a voice-to-text AI assistant for writing descriptions
Please add a simple AI microphone / rewrite button directly inside Xero description fields, such as quotes, invoices, bills, purchase orders and other areas where users need to write item descriptions.
I understand Xero has started introducing AI features such as JAX, but this idea is slightly different. I am asking for a simple feature inside the actual description box where a user can speak naturally, or type rough notes, and Xero turns it into clear, professional wording.
For example, a tradesperson could say:
“Supply and fit grey contract carpet to two rooms, uplift old carpet, dispose of waste, price…
8 votesHi Paul, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand the benefit of having a native voice-to-text AI assistant to help write invoice descriptions especially for users working on the go or across multiple client sites.
The idea is to allow users to dictate invoice line item descriptions using voice input, with text being automatically captured and inserted into the invoice fields to speed up billing and reduce manual typing.
We encourage the community to vote on this idea if you’d find this invoicing workflow improvement useful.

Invoice Payments - Collect invoice Payments via Zelle
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.
11 votesHi everyone, while we don't have a direct integration with Zelle as a payment service, you could look to setting this up as a custom URL. We have some information on this here.
One important thing to note is that when an invoice is paid via a custom URL, you need to manually apply a payment to the invoice, or reconcile the statement line when it shows in your bank account.
While we are continuing to track the interest around a integration with Zelle as a payment service here, we want to be open that we don't have any plans for this at this time.
