    A Solution for Late Payment Interest and Fees (Including Part-Paid Invoices)

    Hi everyone,

    I noticed this feature request and wanted to share a tool that could help: https://stagepay.app/late-fees

    StagePay automates the process of applying late fees and interest to invoices, saving you time and ensuring nothing gets missed. Here’s how it tackles the issues mentioned:

    Automatic application of late fees and interest—choose between flat fees, percentages, interest rates, or even multiple concurrent late fees and interest charges.

    Handles part-paid invoices seamlessly by applying fees or interest only to the remaining unpaid portion.

    Customisable notifications and reminders—you can set up automatic emails or messages to notify clients when fees or interest are applied, along with payment reminders.

    Custom late fee and interest policies tailored to your business, so you’re always in control of how and when charges are applied.

    No monthly subscription cost—StagePay only charges a small transaction fee when your clients make payments by credit card.

    Everything happens seamlessly, with notifications sent to your clients as soon as a fee or interest is applied. No need to manually intervene or recreate invoices—it’s all automated and clear.

    If this sounds like something that could help, check it out at https://stagepay.app/late-fees

    Thanks

    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…

    Thanks for your continued engagement with us on this idea, everyone. We understand there are many different ways business work and conduct business with customers, and that you need more flexibility in the way you manage and receive payments for invoices with Xero. While pockets of research have been done in the past we’re getting a fresh lens and conducting a broader piece of discovery to deeply analyse and understand where our efforts could be focused in this space to alleviate existing hurdles in receiving payments for majority of Xero users. We’d like to open the invite to be a part of our teams research pool, where you’d get the chance to share more on the importance of managing payments for your business. This may involve being interviewed, or helping answer questions through short surveys or questionnaires. 

    ✍️ If this is something you’d like to be a part of, please …
