Subscription - Make billing clearer, including an itemised breakdown
Xero billing: Please make the packages pricing clearer on the monthly invoices.
i.e. please add the package elements breakdown. It doesn't have to be a separate line item, it could even just be added to the text description, but showing one price, as per the invoices from xero, does not explicity explain that there is a breakdown for items mentioned. Seeing this clarity on the monthly invoices is very helpful for ensuring transparency from xero to its customers. Also, months - or years - down the line it is hard to remember what the package elements cost unless so having…7 votes -

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….

Navigation - Hide tool tips/help banners
Is it possible to permanently remove the help banners that continually appear at the top of screens in Xero?
Ideally, it would be nice to use these (if needed) and then close them off permanently, so they don't reappear every time you work in the file.
They take a significant amount of space at the top of the screen so you actually have to X them out.

Xero Support - Increase description field size in case raise form
Hi,
Could you make the "Tell us what happened" box bigger? It's meant to be used for clients to give Xero detail of the what the issue is.
It only takes 2 lines at a time and is abit annoying when trying to compile a message and give details.
3 votesThanks for sharing your feedback 😊
If you need to add more detail than two lines, you can resize the description box using the draggable corner in the bottom right.
To be open and upfront, our product team don’t have any plans to change the description box at this time, but will see how the feedback evolves here and through other channels, and keep this in mind. We’ll be sure to pop back to let you know of any updates. -
Products and Services - Non-Sell Items when allocated to projects retain the orginal information.
Within Products and Services when items are set up that aren't invoiceable costs, and therefore the "Sell" box unticked, when they are allocated as to Projects these items don't show as "Non-Chargeable" costs as they should do, they show as "% Mark-up" costs. Therefore, when going to "Invoice Tasks and Expenses", they appear in the list of potentially invoiceable items.
Therefore, each expense item has to be edited in each individual project and switch it from "% Mark-up" to "Non-Chargeable. Such costs should automatically come through as "Non-Chargeable".
Also, "Find and Recode" feature doesn't recode the Product and Services type…

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.
56 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.

Xero - Option to flag a performance issue without having to raise a support case
I would like to be able to flag or log a Xero issue, without having to raise a case.
Sometimes my colleagues and I are having the same issue at the same time with Xero. Eg. Dashboard not displaying correctly, unable to change organisation from the dropdown menu. But when we go to https://status.xero.com/ everything is showing as "Operational".
An option of being able to click onto a region; setting; choose the issue would be great. That means that Xero could be alerted quickly if there is a wider issue, or if it's an isolated issue.35 votesHi everyone, we appreciate wanting to help Xero identify and raise issues asap. While we may consider changes to this overtime, to be upfront there are no immediate plans for changing the current method to raise these sort of issues with us. There are a number of troubleshooting steps our specialists will work through with a customer to rule out external factors that could be impacting your experience with Xero, and they'll get the right detail to investigate, triage and escalate if the cause does appear to stem from within the product.
One area we know customers can commonly run into trouble with is bank feeds, and we do have work going on atm to enable customers to send us an alert if they are experiencing trouble with a bank accounts feed from within their organisation. You can stay up to date with progress for this, on this idea.

Xero Central - Advertise Xero Product Ideas on the Support Page
OK so maybe it's obvious to you that Xero Product Ideas is under the 'Community' tab on xero central but can I suggest you mention it under 'Support' too, as that is where most people looking for help start?
I tried searching 'feature request', 'request' etc on support and in the end had to open a case to find out you had a whole Product Ideas thing - I didn't think to look under 'Community' as I wrongly assumed that was just discussion.
I can't be the only person who thought this way, especially when concerned about something that seems…17 votesHi all, we’ve now made Product Ideas available in Xero Central search, you’ll spot them in the results with their green label for “Product Idea” or you can filter your search under “What do you want to do?” to select “Share an idea”. 😁
As mentioned in our last update we’re also looking into making Product Ideas easier to find - we’ll update this idea once we’ve got more to share.

Quarterly subscription review - for size of business
A regular check to ensure you are using the correct subscription for the size of your business. we downsized but without checking our subscription and have been paying for a subscription for more staff than we have. A quarterly reminder email to remind clients to check their subscription is correct for their needs.

Xero Central support - Allow Admin staff to view all xero support cases for their organisation
I use other apps where, if staff submit a case request, I can view it automatically without the need of manual sharing (that xero does).
Its important that admin staff can view all xero case support messages that is submitted by staff - especially if the staff isn't going to stay with our firm.
Its very frustrating to continue on with a xero support case that only exist on a work email of a staff that no longer works for us.

Xero central | My cases - Ability to search previous cases
Being able to search prior support cases via a 'search' function would be very time saving. The process of scrolling through prior cases is very time consuming.
Searching only by Open/Closed cases isn't overly useful.

Subscription Payment - Accept DD payment of for bank accounts that have dual signatories
Our club wishes to purchase Xero but Xero have no system in order to accept subscription payments from clubs who have dual signatories on their bank accounts. They only offer direct debit with one bank signatory or debit/credit cards. Neither of which work when you are a club/charity who must have financial accountability to their members/community. I have suggested an automatic payment and supplying them with a direct debit form with both signatories but they have declined both. I find this incredible. Surely there is a solution here? We can't be the only club/charity that has this situation. Are we?

Pricing Plans - Have a dedicated team advising on software for different industries
THERE ARE SO MANY CHOICES. I need something specific and someone to help. A comparison tool of each app features (like some of the health industry sites have) or a specialist team to advise, particularly when you are recommending so many platforms.
4 votesThanks for the idea here, it's good to know how we can help businesses understand how best to navigate Xero when onboarding a business.
For the UK we now have a page on our website that helps you find a plan that's right for their business. Xero will provide a plan recommendation based on responses to a selection of questions.
Though only available in the UK atm, we are looking to extend this to other regions and I'll keep you updated on when this is available elsewhere, here.

Billing - Performing Arts Business Discount
Small emerging creatives in the performing arts fields, such as bands and musicians, currently are unable to afford accounting software such as Xero, and as a result, often struggle with managing their finances effectively. Especially given the devastating impact of COVID-19, I feel it would be incredibly useful to provide a Xero subscription discount to eligible small and micro businesses, such as the one currently offered to Football Clubs.

Xero Subscriptions - Split PDF invoices by client (not subscription type)
It would be great if Xero can change the PDF format of partner monthly subscription invoices by customer rather than subscription type.
This way the PDF can be forwarded to our Xero Blue practice file as a draft bill and hopefully the AI will extract each customer subscription as a separate line item within the bill so we an easily assign each line as an expense to each individual client.
Then the billable expenses will come through correctly when we raise sales invoices in XPM that integrate with our Xero Blue practice file as a draft invoice.
Currently only the…

In this forum, I'd like to see a list of my own ideas, so that I can see if there's been any updates since I was last here
5 votesHi team, we appreciate the interest for this idea and improvoing the product ideas forums for your use.
As noted in my last response currently when logged into Xero Product ideas there is the option to go to Settings & activity from your initials in the top right of the screen Within this page you select the option to 'Export my data'. This'll email you a few files, one of which is a CSV of all the ideas you've started and the URL to be able to view these online.
We appreciate wanting a simpler in product view of this and will continue to consider how we could solve for this as we develop this space. I'll share if there is any progress here.
