Hi everyone, we’d like to round back to share an update that the ability to accept deposits has now rolled out to all AU, NZ, UK, CA, SG and US organisations, and we expect to make this available to remaining regions soon.
Staying close to feedback from its release, our team have recently added a due date field in which you can select a specific date that payment of the deposit is expected if this differs from the Invoice due date.
I look forward to looping back to finalise once we’re at 100% roll out of deposits, and give you a hint of where we’ll be expanding functionality next!

In a society where cashflow is becoming increasingly tight, it's simply not financially feasible for people in certain trades to start work without a deposit. Speaking for some of our clients, this does feel like it should be a standard feature for a product they are paying a premium for.

Hi everyone, a year on from my last engagement we wanted to provide an update for you all here.
As many will be across we're in the midst of making a lot of iterations and improvements to new invoicing leading up to the retirement of classic invoicing in September (2024).
We have a fair amount of work lined up in the teams schedule over the coming months and to give an indication there isn't any committed plans around a function to add interest to invoices.
That said, we do have a team that have picked up and are considering how we might solve this with the technology in new invoicing - It's early days on this yet, but I'll share if there's any progress on this for you all here.
In the meantime, as has been shared by others over time there are a few ways you could accomplish this…

Hi community, we understand how being able to send quote reminders like you can for invoices, would help with following up on uncommitted work with your customers and potentially locking in sales.
For the time being, as many will be aware you can resend a quote that’s already been sent, by clicking the 3 dot menu in the top right and choosing ‘Send’, where you’ll have the option to change the email and who it’s being addressed to.
This is something we have intentions of diving into discovery for this year and I’ll return to share more news when things progress. Thanks

Hi community, we appreciate the support in this idea and apologise for not engaging here sooner. Thanks for sharing how important this workflow is for your business.
Our current deposits release is focused on approved invoices, where a business can request an upfront deposit and then collect the remaining balance later on that invoice.
However, we know for some businesses this needs to begin earlier from the quote stage. While we consider how we might expand deposits in the longer term we want to be upfront that converting a quote to a deposit and remaining amount invoice isn’t in the roadmap as yet.
We’ll keep this idea updated as there’s more to share on the future of deposits with Xero.

The concept of needing to prioritize things is not unreasonable; you likely have limited staff like most others. But surely the basic product must come first. Picture a salesman trying to sell me a car based on the shiny new in-car entertainment system. "But it's missing a wheel" I say. He replies "There's a 3rd party vendor over there, happens to be a friend of ours, who will sell you something that's almost a wheel; it'll work nearly as well. And you just pay for it each month." I'm not buying. I feel that deposits on invoices should be a basic feature.
