Account Transactions: Receipts - Send automated 'payment received' e-mail when payment is reconciled
Ability to send an automated 'Payment received with thanks' email to the customer
Purpose: To give a professional image to users’ customers/clients, and save time in a current manual process
Hi everyone, we totally get how automating the sending of receipts when a transaction is reconciled would free up time and the manual task involved in this activity.
Though not in the pipeline at present, this is a feature our product team would like to explore more in the future.
We’ll be sure to update you all again when we are able to look into this deeper. Thanks

I’m having to spend $19/month for Zapier for the pro Xero API to make an automation to receive these notifications of payments received. If Zapier can currently do this with the Xero API, I don’t understand why this can’t be enabled natively in Xero. This is ridiculous

This should be a basic feature...what on earth have they been doing for the last 7 years since it was first raised?!

Its poor that Xero doesnt offer a) an automatic sales receipt function, and b) a receipt template. The receipt template is a modified invoice template but the instructions on how to create a receipt requires a PHD

I can't believe that this isn't an option with Xero. It's a very basic function and available in most other accounting software

Situation: During Reconciliation, a Received Money line item from the Bank Feed is matched with a known Xero transaction for an outstanding invoice, either automatically by Xero or manually with an outstanding invoice.
Issue: Right now, there does not seem to be a way to send a receipt to the customer during reconciliation. The only way seems to be to go back into Invoices, find the Paid Invoice, and manually send a receipt, which is impractical for multiple payments that have been reconciled.
Solution: My suggestion is to offer a Receipt During Reconciliation setting to either:
(a) ASK - when OK'ing an item for reconciliation: a pop-up asking "Send a Receipt?"
(b) ALWAYS - a default setting to Always Send a Receipt when Reconciling
(c) NEVER - a default setting to Never Send a Receipt when Reconciling -

As with many of these comments...
I assumed this was the standard and was surprised to hear my clients weren't getting an emailed receipt. -

This would be extremely useful, I am very surprised this feature is not native to the application. Hopefully the dev team could take this up and it would be a relatively easy and fast solution to implement.

Please implement a basic feature to automatically send receipt to contacts when their payments for invoices are reconciled. Thanks.

This is such a basic function that should be standard.

A timesaver which would make running of a business much more efficient and effective. It's very time consuming having to go into each paid invoive, select receipt send off, etc. Would be a great feature to add!

this would save so much time.
Even if we could tick the payments in the transaction list and send bulk receipts from there

This is so easy to setup automatically, so disappointing they don't have it

How on Earth has this been raised over 7 years ago and not been rectified?
Are we aware that this is accounting software and receipt notifications are usually requested by clients?
Any idea when we can see this Xero Support???

Automatic sending of receipts for customers - a timesaving option to bulk send receipts at once or have an option to auto send, rather than having to open each one individually to send.

We're probably going to move away from Xero before they get this feature in place. Taking forever.
