Hi everyone, completely appreciate wanting to hear from us on the idea here. Having checked in with our product team we totally get the interest in this idea and creating more consistency between quotes and invoices in Xero.
While we'd like to take a closer look into this down the line, we want to be upfront that there's other work that the team are drawn to atm as a priority and creating a shareable link for a quote is not planned at this stage.
It's definitely on the teams radar and we're keeping an eye on the feedback here, as soon as there's any news to share I'll be sure to update you on this, here.An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment

@Xero - any update? This is more important than trying to push us onto a New Invoicing that no one wants.
Please, listen to your people rather than looking for new customers with 90% off sales

4 to 10 times a daily I say "bloody xero" when I have to email myself to get a share link.
we've wasted more time than the developers would take to add a simply "copy link" to quotes.
PLEASE PLEAS PLEASE FIX THIS XERO

Perhaps we should all start leaving a comment on every time the lack of this feature aggravates us.
For me, that's 3-4 times per business day as I have to email myself a quote to get the link, to send to a client. Infuriating.
We've started looking at Stripe and MYOB alternatives. Too many Xero missing features. They're spending all their resources trying to acquire new customers rather than support their exisiting.

@Timmy O'Mahony, agreed. Drives me mad. We're in the process of looking at Stripe for quoting and invoicing. What system did you move to?
Because even if Xero did implement this, right behind it needs to be "accept & pay" because this break between accepting a quote and then us having to convert to an invoice so the customer can pay is so clunky.
At the current rate, this should be ready by the time bitcoin is the only remaining global currency

Any risk of hearing from Xero about this? Or chance of a simple 'copy link' button being implemented?
3-4 times a day this frustrates me. Xero is not great for business who quote jobs often.

Surely using SAME user experience the invoices ALREADY have, Share Invoice, can't take YEARS to implement to the quote system.
Pestering accounts to swap to MYOB or Quickbooks as this is a daily drag for the sales team.

2015 to 2023 and still wait to include the same functionality invoices have...
This is a frustration every single day for us.

This functionality already exists for invoices. Why not quotes?

same... and it sucks.
click send > delete customer email > type mine > Send > get email and copy link to my actual email
Should be exactly the same as invoices. Share > Copy link

100% - Share a link to a quote with the ability for client to accept (turns quote to invoice) then pay via CC instantly.
We use Stripe to do this now.

Hi everyone, to give a bit more detail from our status update a few months ago - The ability to copy to a bill is a feature that the team will be building into the new invoicing experience. They have a few items on their agenda and I want to be open that this is not planned to be delivered until after the sunset of classic invoicing.
For the time being, you'll find you can still copy to a new invoice, quote, purchase order or bill from the invoices list view.
You can get a bit more of an understanding of what's coming from our Xero central page. When there's more news on copy to a bill I'll share this, here.

yet to make it 24hrs using "new invoicing" due to the lack of this feature.

FIX THIS - @Xero @Kelly Munro, this new invoicing is NOT new if it's missing basic features.
Realising now how frustrating it is because every 24hrs I have to flick back to classic to complete a simple task.
Once you force us to use your worse version, we're all going to become even more frustrated with Xero. Already am frustrated with cost vs how little you listen to exisiting users. Focusing all your energy on attracting new clients via marketing campaigns with huge start up discounts.

Required before classic is closed.
Cant use the "new" until this is fixed.

Yes, agreed @Lauren Harvey - it needs to be implemented to the 'New Invoicing' before the compulsory switch.
We still have to use the old because of this feature.
An error occurred while saving the comment Nick Unwin
commented
what!!?? Why would this not be a feature in the new invoicing. We use this for every invoice required COGS... so like EVERY invoice.
We've had to switch back to classic as new is unusable until this existing feature is implemented to the new invoicing.

We COULD very easily send a quote link > customer accepts online AND can pay at the same time. Xero auto raises the invoice and emails us saying XYZ has accepted, and paid - SUCH A TIME SAVER.
Rather than us getting an email saying the quote has been accepted, with no reference to WHO accepted it, no link to the quote, doesn't let customer pay, requires us to go in and manually convert to an invoice and then send them another link and hope they pay in a reasonable timeframe.
Adds days. Clunky as.

Hi community, we’ve just released some new keyboard shortcuts to new invoicing, that cut down the number of mouse clicks and help you perform actions on your invoice with some simple keyboard entry options.
There’s a range of different shortcuts that you can explore, and in particular a few that I wanted to call out for ‘Approve’ options that I know will be of most interest to you, here;
- Approve (Ctrl-Alt-A OR Cmd-Opt-A on a Mac)
- Approve & add another (Ctrl-Alt-O OR Cmd-Opt-O on a Mac)
- Approve & print PDF (Ctrl-Alt-R OR Cmd-Opt-R on a Mac)
- Approve & email / send eInvoice (Ctrl-Alt-E OR Cmd-Opt-E on a Mac)
While you get used to the combinations of shortcuts our product team have added small prompts to highlight these in the product, and if you’d like to view the full list of options you can see them all on Xero Central.

+1 we rarely send invoices from xero. Instead share the link in the email trail

Hi team, now in 2025 and many here will have received our recent communication leading up to the retirement of classic invoicing on 27 Feb this year.
We’re continuing to work hard on delivering more features within new invoicing that’ll help most in your workflow.
Thanks for staying engaged with us on changes that’ll help you through the idea here.
To give an update on recent deliveries that positively impact some of you that have shared on the idea here. Late last year we released improvements to the issue and due date fields so you can now use all the date entry shortcuts that were available in classic, and we made it simpler to access the date picker. We also updated the Files attachment modal so you can now drag & drop files anywhere on the page, and when you use tracked inventory you can see the number of items…

445 votesThanks for all your feedback here, everyone. The way you add description only lines in new invoicing is a little different to classic and we wanted to explain in hopes it'll help with how you're using new invoicing.
When entering a description only line, you can enter text in the description field of the line. If you add detail to any other field the line will be treated as a 'financial' line and you will need to include Qty, Unit price, Account and Tax rate.
When an inventory item is added this uses the item code field and the line is treated as 'financial', so it's not possible to use inventory items as description only lines in new invoicing atm.
We appreciate this is how many of you here have been making use of inventory and our product team are closely monitoring the feedback we're getting on this. Though we don't…Nick Unwin

This would be great... currently no idea who accepted the quote. Could be one of our internal team for all we know.

Hi community, we recognise our customers find the option of whether to include a PDF when sending invoices today useful and thank you for you feedback on why you'd also like to see this reflected in Quotes. Our team are considering this for a future opportunity in Quotes and I want to assure you they are well aware of the idea for this here. However, we want to be upfront that we don't have any direct work planned for this right now. We will be sure to share any updates or progress when it comes, with you all here.

only way is to send the quote link in your own email.
Easily getting the quote link is another story though! Nightmare to email yourself and copy paste into another email to the client.

It'd be easier if quotes just had a "Share" button like invoices do so you can copy into an email.
