  1. Could it be possible to create a video to explain about the particular features of the Xero function in their respective page? I am trying to better understand visually on how to navigate and use a particular feature within Xero.

    If not at the very least, link me back to the lesson where I can get on the feature in the Xero Advisor course? It would be helpful for me to revisit the topic.

    Hi Marc, thanks for your engagement and for this excellent suggestion on improving our Xero Central resources.

    We've reviewed your idea about making our support content more visual by adding demonstration videos or linking back to specific lessons from our help articles. We agree that for many people, seeing a feature in action is incredibly helpful.

    Your suggestion is now open to gain support from other community members. Along with votes, others can now comment to share how more visual content like videos could improve their learning experience and help them better understand Xero's features.

  2. When speaking to Xero support on a chat can Xero show the date, time of each part of the chat please like most other providers do each time each party of the chat types something in. It's really handy to refer back to.

  3. I would love Xero to create a piece of software for Film Production Accountants - Xero4Film!

    I work doing some film production accounting/bookkeeping for feature film companies in the UK as well as doing standard accounting for small businesses. Currently the software used for film productions seems to be Eclipse or Smart Accounting. Neither of these are very user friendly and I wondered if there was a possibility of Xero bringing out a version of its accounting software that could be used by Film Production Accountants. There are a few other software options out there eg Creative Computing but they…

We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

  4. Hi Xero,
    I don't believe your price hike is justified given the constant outages and portal glitches over the past month. We pay for a service that is constantly not usable. Please do better.

  5. We would like our staff to be able to experiment with JAX outside of our clients accounts - to do this, we would like JAX to be available in the Demo Company and it is not currently.

  6. Ability to be able to subscribe (via email) to Status updates and incidents for all or selected options within Xero, via the Status page.

    A problem with Projects the other day, there was NO alert, no notification. I was entering data thinking it was being saved. Only by accident did I notice my whole day of adding time was gone, went to the discussions then to the status page to see the incident report.

    If I was aware of the issue, I could have done manual recording of time.

    Other brands like Webflow, Squarespace and many others do this.

    How…

  7. Hi Xero,
    I am writing to formally raise concerns about the ongoing system outages, performance issues, and the broader impact these disruptions are having on my ability to complete client work.
    Over recent months, Xero has experienced repeated outages too many changes and significant slowdowns. These issues directly affect productivity, delay essential bookkeeping and compliance tasks, and ultimately result in lost income. As a bookkeeper who relies on Xero daily, this level of instability is becoming increasingly difficult to manage.
    What has been particularly disappointing is that, despite these ongoing problems, Xero has announced further price increases. It feels as…

  8. Create a button on Jax that allows the dialog box to "Pop Out" or detach from Xero. It makes no sense that I have to copy directions from Jax to paste into Word so I can follow the often multi-step instructions that cannot be done while Jax is active.

  9. Hi Xero Support Team,

    We would like to suggest a system enhancement. Could you please explore the possibility of having a prompt message appear to vendors whenever a duplicate invoice is submitted to us?

    Currently, duplicate submissions create additional manual checks and reconciliation work for our Finance team. A prompt at the point of submission would help prevent errors, reduce rework, and improve efficiency.

    Thank you for considering this request. We look forward to your feedback.

  10. 24 HOUR LOCK WHEN CERTIFICATION TEST "FAILS" NEEDS REMOVED IMMEDIATELY.

    We have a trainee going through his Xero certification. He timed out the first test. He is now locked out for 24 hours.

    We can't have him spending weeks doing this.

    Hi team, we appreciate the feedback however want to be upfront here that we don't have any plans on removing the 24 hours lock off period - This 24 hour cooling off period is designed to give a user time to visit the learning needed to close any skills gap.

    Certifications is a test of a users ability to carry out tasks in Xero accurately.

    We generally recommend completing the full learning course first as it covers everything a user needs to know to pass.

    The direct assessment route is really for those that have been certified before. You use Xero daily and have all the skills, and are just needing to get certified.

  11. When we go to the apps directory, and click on an app we are interested, they are usually associated with an external company. For instance, Crypto websites that consolidate our crypto transactions, then can be imported into Xero.

    But when I go to the information pages about the apps, there is no link I can find to the actual website of the company. There are usually links to support, or social media.

    Please go one step further and just put in the official website.

    The reason for this is because sometimes we are researching what services actually connect with Xero…

    Thanks for submitting your idea here, we appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve the App Store for you.

    As you mentioned, the app listings currently have links to their social media pages, but not directly to their website.

    For now, you might use these social media pages to get links to their websites. In the meantime, our team will check into this and your suggestion can now begin to build support with votes from other community members.
