Hi everyone, our product teams are continuously reviewing and reprioritising their roadmaps for future work and although we don’t have any plans to change the credit application process this year, this is something we will investigate more closely in 2026.
As we begin to explore work for enabling credit notes in the bill payments flow, we’ll reach out for input to help us shape the design and approach so we cater for the widest possible requirements. Thank you all, and we’ll be back to share when exploration starts.

Alison,
You can click a few buttons and Xero will go off and pay your suppliers. There is a small charge but currently it doesn’t work properly because a) you can’t pay credit notes and b) when you use this feature, it doesn’t reconcile it so you have to go through and find the lump sum payment and allocate it manually.
It should have been designed like GoCardless and Stripe where it knows the payment amount and who it was to and auto reconciles it.

The irony of it all is Xero launched their auto bill payments system last year to try and make things quicker and easier, but as you cannot include credit notes you have to allocate all the CN first before you can use this system. So basically it’s a complete waste of time and not thought through properly. Like a lot of their little ideas…..

Thanks Anita,
That looks a really useful link!

The other issue is now Xero have rolled out this ‘super duper’ batch payment feature where you can pay all suppliers in one go and their physical payments, it doesn’t work if the supplier has a credit note. You have to go through and allocate every credit note first.
But hey ho, what do we all know?! AI q&a is clearly more important and changing the invoicing system for something not fit for purpose.

Thanks for supporting this idea, everyone. We appreciate the efficiency being able to directly pay your employees from Xero would bring to your workflow and the time it'd give back. 😊
Our product team are now in testing of new functionality to allow direct wage payments within UK Payroll via open banking with Crezco. I'll be back to share more as this progresses.

Kelly,
I can confirm the ability to pay credit notes will be done in 2026 despite you previously closing this idea down. You heard it here first!
