    Hi everyone, we appreciate the interest his idea has received. Introducing the ability to add a discount amount was highly requested by our community. We recognise for customers that discount by % this means you'll need to enter a % symbol where y ou wouldn't have done so before.

    With quite a few items drawing our teams attention at present we want to be upfront that developing a default option for discounts isn't in the pipeline atm. This is something we'll keep reviewing and consider as a future improvement in this space. If there is any change or progress around this I'll let you know on the idea, here.

    What is even more disappointing is the fact that Xero changed this from % to $ and then failed to acknowledge that they should have added the $ discount as an option instead of forcing it as the default.

    I can't help but wonder if they even bothered to check the data and see how many customers/invoices were receiving a discount in % vs $ before making the change.

    For the time being I am stuck with Xero, but I will be looking for alternatives as from now.
