Could at least have a pop up option to send receipt once the reconcilling has been done.

Couldn't we just at least have a button on the bank rec screen to send receipt if & when we want to send - that way not fully automated yet?

Complexities:
* Re-Reconciliations - Do Not Send Payment Received Email
* A split transaction is a part payment - Do Not Send Payment Received Email
* Manual "Mark as Reconciled" - Send Payment Received Email

I was working on accounts systems twenty years ago that sent automated receipts. Seemed to work then!

Also, when will we get the stop function in Xero? I've been asking for 6 years.

Dealing with the Complexities:

* Re-Reconciliations - Do Not Send Payment Received Email
* A split transaction is a part payment - Do Not Send Payment Received Email
* Using manual Mark as reconciled - Send Payment Received Email

for what it's worth- i'm looking into creating a custom automation using https://www.make.com (if anyone's interested). it's a no-code integrator/automator.

Please add this function to save everybody's time.

Unless there is a way to customise the invoice & link it to a receipt template then this wouldn't actually work. We have multiple templates for receipts. Before switching to Xero from MYOB, I used to be able to select certain transactions from a list of payments and apply a specific template and send them all at once. This was years ago, and I am assuming this is still the case as you wouldn't want to go "backwards" and could never understand why this couldn't be adopted by Xero. It is just so time consuming & frustrating when I have seen rockets in the sky & men on the moon!!! (LOL)

It's a no brainer. Allocate a developer and tester and roll out...

It would be great if we could send multiple receipts to customers in the same way that you send multiple invoices (all at once). Currently, after reconciling a payment, you need to go to Account transactions, then click on the transaction and click "send receipt". Which is absolutely fine if you are only sending a few receipts! When you are getting upwards of 40 or 50 to send a receipt to at the one time, it is VERY VERY TIME CONSUMING! Over it.

Ability to send a receipt when reconciling to an invoice. Right now you have to reconcile, then go into the invoice, then the payment, then send the receipt. This is an arduous process and is a legal requirement for any payment over $75 in Australia.
I don't have to send receipts for payments through Stripe, as that already sends a receipt, but it doesn't link to the invoice number, just the payment. If I had the option to easily do it, then I would.
A dashboard option to send receipts would be a good option as well. Reducing the number of clicks is helpful.

I think there have been suggestions provided that do help with some of those hurdles. A tick box as a global setting or at the time of reconciliation is always a good idea otherwise it may be worthwhile having a send receipt button on reconciliation and having them automatically sent out at 1am the next morning. Having both the manual control on the reconciliation and a global setting for automation would benefit all (Opt in of course). The majority of other providers have it so understandably, I'm sure most users do see this as the bare minimum for software that is designed to handle finances at its core.

A very poor response from Xero, many years after this feature was requested. I'd hold off on the idea of beautiful experiences, and focus instead on basic functionality. I'm not holding my breath though.

Do the implementation on reconcilation?

Surely not too difficult to implement

It would be good if you have loaded a payment , there is the option to send the receipt at the same time , or have the option to be able to automate the sending of receipts

Hi there it would be great if Xero sent automatic receipts and invoices generated for sales done through Shopify. At the moment the receipts in particular have to be sent manually which is time consuming. More Shopify integration from Xero for small businesses so we don't have to upgrade to the $800 USD a month platform would be good!

Please!

Or at least a Zapier action to "send a receipt" that we can build for every new payment trigger.

If not automatic then have a single click yes to send a receipt.
