Pop-up removal
Whenever I make a manual payment to a supplier Purchases/Bill I keep getting an annoying pop-up saying "Pay bills online directly from Xero". Bills are not paid online, payments are processed manually. Please remove this annoying pop-up.
There needs to be a "do not ask me again" box.
I'm told by AI help that I can continue to process manual payments as usual - the pop-up shouldn't prevent me from completing the transactions. This is where the problem lies - I make payments nearly every day and some suppliers have more than 1 invoice to pay so have to select each supplier manually.
Xero/Crezco Limited - please sort this out

Totally agree with Louise - all our payments are done manually so no need for the annoying Pop Up...!

I have a semi-fix for this, which makes it much less annoying.
You can automatically run a script that will select 'Continue with manual payment' for you, so it at least saves you a step. When you select the invoice(s) for payment and click 'Make Payment' the pop up appears, but after a brief moment, the script will dismiss it and take you to the next page in the workflow.
I use Mac and Safari, and the Userscripts extension. When the pop up appears, use Inspect Element, screenshot the code into ChatGPT and it will write the script for you to paste into Userscripts.
I hope this helps.
I'm off to see if ChatGPT can write a script that allows you to batch invoices and credits for a bank payment within Xero rather than having to apply credits to specific invoices.

A complete PITA it is now to make payments and I cannot believe no one thought of giving you the option to turn this off when developing the idea... amateurs...
Xero get rid of this ASAP I and others have absolutely no interest in this option

I also have raised for this, what a stupid popup, which doesn't allow you to dismiss, I do all my payments manually which is a lot and this popup is a pain having to see it over and over again, If I wanted to do online payments then I am sure I will find the option, rather than have it displayed over and over again, ridiculous feature

I raised this as a case with Xero and was told it's not possible to permanently dismiss this message (nor the one in Sales Invoices to accept card payments) and that it needs to be raised as a product idea.
You'd think product ideas would be for genuine development to improve Xero's functionality, rather than for undoing deliberate sabotage to the UX to try and upsell services.
But here we are.
