Hey community, we want to acknowledge all the feedback you’ve provided on this idea. We know from your comments here and through other channels that taking deposits or partial payments on invoices is a crucial part of the workflow for many businesses, whether it's to cover initial costs or to confirm a new project.
In terms of current options, within Xero there is the ability to create prepayments. Alternatively there are some third-party apps that serve these needs, too.
However, we do want to share that our product team is actively working on a solution that'll allow you to request and accept deposit payments.
While we can't give specifics on a timeline as yet, please know that this is a priority for us. We're grateful for the detailed feedback you've provided so far, which has been invaluable in getting us to this point.
We’ll be sure to keep you updated…

Another scenario where part payments are required are when you send an invoice (without allocating credits) and you have some credits on the customer account. There is no way for the customer to pay the balance using online payment methods - they have to do a bank transfer using the amount showing in the top blue bar. One solution is to go through each credit manually one by one and allocate it to the invoice which is a bit tedious if you have a lot!

Hi everyone, thanks so much for sharing your comments and support for this idea. We really get why you'd like a central report, so you can check each customer's payment history just to see who's paying late.
Currently as mentioned in the discussion here, you can see a customer's average days to pay on their individual contact record, but we know this isn't the same as having a single report for all your customers.
While we can see there's a lot of interest in this, it's not on our current roadmap for development. Community members will still be able to vote - So we'll continue to keep a close eye here and will let you know if anything changes.

Too little too late for me Xero. The last price rise was the last straw for me - 80% increase over 3 years. Encouraged me to look at the opposition and realise that I could get significantly more features for half the price. Look back over this issue - a clear indication of how a significant feature gap receives so little attention from Xero. Meanwhile the big news is that the main menu is going to be fiddled with yet again. Really! Too much resource spent rearranging deck chairs I would suggest. Bye.
