Customer Support - Create an idea from a case on Xero central
I can no longer comment on the original idea
what I would like is a button on a support case which allows me to create a product idea linked to the support case, so i don't need to copy and paste the entire case history into the product idea
9 votesAah I see what you mean now, and appreciate you sharing more detail, Anna.
In terms of the original idea, you can reply directly to the email update you received about the status if there is extra detail you'd like to share with the team - In this case I've merged your original idea with this one to keep the information all together.
We don't have immediate plans for this, but will keep considering how we improve their efficiency when engaging and sharing feedback. We'll track the support here and share if there are any updates. Thanks

Real-time ESG insights inside Xero to help small businesses understand their impact
Small businesses increasingly want to understand the environmental and social impact of their spending — but ESG tools are complex, expensive, and built for large enterprises.
Xero is uniquely placed to change that.
Idea:
Embed lightweight, real-time ESG context directly into Xero, so small businesses can understand the impact behind everyday transactions — without extra systems or reporting burden.What this could look like:
• ESG indicators at transaction or supplier level (e.g. climate, labour, governance risk)
• Simple, plain-English insights alongside payments and invoices
• Optional summaries over time (e.g. “This quarter’s spend impact”)
• No scores to manage…3 votesHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

JAX - Allow JAX in Demo Company
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.

Pricing Plans - Add Partnership Tax Return (PTR) to base Xero package
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) allows partners to fill out and submit a Partnership Tax Return (PTR) without being a registered tax agent or accountant. However, TPR is currently only available in Xero Tax, which is a professional tax preparation software package designed specifically (and only) for registered tax agents and accountants.
Can I request that (like BAS and TPAR) the PTR report and lodgement features be made available in the base Xero software?
7 votesThanks for sharing your idea to add the Partnership Tax Return (PTR) to our base Xero packages.
We're grateful for your engagement and letting us know the changes that matter to you and your business partnership.

Automatically allocate Subscription Sales into Unearned Income and Earned Income based on timing
Allow front-loaded revenue (such as annual subscriptions or project fees) to be automatically allocated to Unearned Income (i.e. a liability) and then gradually transferred to earned Subscription Sales Revenue.
As a small business owner which sells hundreds of annual subscriptions to our service (different price packages and different start dates for each customer), it would be really handy to know how much of that received money has been 'earned' and how much remains 'Unearned Income'. On Day-1, 100% of it is unearned income (and would need to be refunded if we close as a business), on Day-183, 50% is in…

Send billing failure warnings to the Billing contact
It's a huge problem for me that when billing fails for an entity, no notification is sent to the billing contact, only the subscriber (me) gets notified. If I'm on holiday, and something goes wrong with billing, people get locked out of the platform.
There should at least be an option for the billing contact to receive these messages, if not the default setting. I can't think of any reason I wouldn't want my billing contact to know that the payment to Xero has failed. My book-keeper doesn't know something has gone wrong until she is locked out of Xero.

Subscriber change over
The subscriber has left the business. I have access but cannot invite support to the ticket. I need to change the subscriber to me. I am the new Director. Please contact me
2 votesHi Paul
It looks like you contacted our support team on this one, from which a case was raised and assisted on by our specialists.
As a result, I've changed the idea status to 'Not in pipeline', as it doesn't look like it's an idea that you have suggested.
However, feel free to submit your ideas or feedback on our product ideas page!
Kind regards,

Organisation Settings - Show Xero subscription plan in Settings
At the moment when you go to Organisation Settings > Subscription and billing (e.g. https://go.xero.com/Settings/ManageSubscription), it says "Change plan and update credit card details Managed by XXXX"
If we are XXXX - we don't see either of those things, only a button to take us somewhere else to Manage the plan.
If we are not XXXX - we don't see either of those things.How dumb?
Just show the Xero subscription/plan so we know what it is.
3 votesHi Sam, appreciate you sharing this idea — we understand where you're coming from.
Being able to quickly see your Xero subscription plan from within your organisation’s settings would definitely make things easier. Having to jump to a different section just to check your plan or see what features are included isn’t ideal, especially when you’re trying to make quick decisions.
At the moment, this info isn’t shown in the Organisation Settings, but you can view your plan by going to My Xero from the main menu and clicking on the Subscriptions tab. That’s where you’ll find your current plan and any add-ons.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. If this change would make things simpler for you, feel free to vote or leave a comment — your feedback helps us understand what matters most and where we can improve.

Navigation.
Can you please provide a way to display a list of functions and reports that a user has already opened so that you don't have to constantly click click click to get back to them. For example, you open a report and then do something else, can you please provide a way to get back to that open report with just one click. I am so sick and tired of all the clicking I have to do because you don't currently provide a way to get back to something I was doing with a single click. Have a look at…

Customer Support - View case responses without having to log into Xero Central
When we receive communication from Xero regarding a case query, it is necessary to log into Xero again to read the answer
This is time consuming and annoying- would love a fix for this.
Is there a way to view the answer and perhaps log in when we are ready to respond?2 votesThanks for sharing your idea about how the experience with viewing support cases could be made better for you.

Xero Central - Add changelogs to Xero Central Support pages
Things like tax returns change fairly frequently. Not all new features are entirely self-explanatory. Xero Support's Articles are simple and aimed at giving new users basic information, but often lack the detail to be used as an ongoing resource.
I'd suggest adding changelogs to Xero Central Support pages/articles for existing products that have been updated.
For example the IR6 tax return has changed in the 2025 year to match tax law. Estates are still able to use the 33% tax rate in their first 4 years, but the return defaults to the 39% rate.
Existing users will review the Tax…

Support - Add option to schedule a phone call using online chat
Would appreciate if the bot can confirm a schedule conference call. Made an appointment but no confirmation. In the end kept waiting for call to start. Of course nothing happen….
54 votesHi everyone, we appreciate seeking urgent help, however right here you're in Xero Product Ideas.

This is a public forum where anything you post is visible to others - Please keep this in mind when sharing your details.
While we don't have an inbound number you can contact our Xero Support team, you can reach them anytime by raising a case through the Contact Xero Support tile found at the bottom of most pages throughout Xero Central.
If you can provide a little detail on your questions or what you're needing help with we'll be bale to get you in touch with someone with the best skills to help, and generally our specialists are happy to arrange a phone call at a time that suits you.

Improved and transparent user consultation prior to implementing changes.
Xero made a lot of noise about how good the 'new invoicing' feature would be. Users gave plenty of feedback early on when new invoicing was optional, both in comments and by not switching over to new invoicing. Xero proceeded with the change seemingly unaware of the negative mood amongst users to the new invoicing feature.
The product ideas section show, only in it's first 5 pages, 43 product ideas about new invoicing. Many of these product ideas are requests for previously available features to be made available again. Many of the ideas are under consideration or being worked on.
…
5 votesAppreciate your feedback, Martin. I can assure you throughout the build of new invoicing we have engaged and tested out features with many different users. To keep customers informed throughout we have shared blog posts and regularly update our Xero Central page with what's been delivered and what's to come.
Being such a widely used feature, we have focused on features that suit majority of our customers needs. We appreciate some customers still want to see more development and we are continuing to enhance this new invoicing experience.
Our products teams have conducted lots of research and testing to refine deliveries, and Xero Product Ideas here is another great way for us to understand what matters most to our customers - As you noted, we are listening and keeping users updated as developments progress with the status updates.
We understand our customers would like to be more involved as we…

Navigation - Ability to submit feedback in product
There isn't anywhere in Xero where we can add brief feedback. This would be helpful to have in the help menu please.
For example there is a new issue after the new updates on invoicing - this feature would allow a quick notification to Xero that something needs fixed or we are super impressed with new changes! It takes too long to add something to product ideas (like now), to be ignored or gather a lot of voters before something is fixed. Same with raising a case, most of the time it wont be a fix, we get directed back…2 votesThanks for your input to product ideas, Nadine.
Though there is no direct way to leave feedback in the product atm, there are now many ways our team's are surfacing in product messaging to updates users of a change and request feedback especially through staggered releases.
We'll continue to consider how and when is best to engage with customers through Xero and will keep a watchful eye on support for your idea here.
In the meantime please do feel free to start ideas for changes you feel could further improve your experience with Xero through Xero product ideas, here 😊

Support - Bug or Missing Feature Reporting
There is nowhere to report missing features and bugs apart from this forum, which is more for ideas.
I have found it difficult to find a place to report an issue quickly.
For new invoicing the list of missing features and bugs should be reported so we can see what has already been picked up and what is being worked on and fixed.11 votesHI Jill, appreciate you posting here, not knowing where else to go.
For something that appears to not be working as it should or where you're having performance issues in Xero - these are best to raise with our specialists at Xero Support where we have tools to investigate, triage any issues and escalate with our team if needed.
When it comes to new invoicing we've communicated a lot of the changes and what's coming up through our Xero central page here. Otherwise, you'll also find many ideas for changes across product ideas here that I'd recommend joining for updates where you're interested. Searching 'New invoicing' on the main page of the site should help you find a list of the different features.

Xero Support - Support chat feature
There should be a support chat feature, especially for new users. Drilling through support topics and forums is cumbersome for simple questions.
55 votesHi everyone, returning from my last update I wanted to confirm that we have released generative answers in Xero in app help for all customers.
We appreciate this isn't a direct live chat feature that is being asked for in this idea and will move the status back to Submitted, however we'd recommend giving this a try when you're next looking for an answer while working in Xero.
This feature takes into account what page you’re viewing, and the version of Xero you use, to do the best to ensure that the information provided is relevant to you.
Live chat is not something we have planned at this stage but if any steps are planned toward this, we'll let you know here.
