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…

Hey everyone, thanks for all the support and engagement on this idea.
To be transparent with you all, building a dedicated bank feed for GoCardless isn't something we have in our plans right now.
While we don't have a direct bank feed for GoCardless, we still want to make sure you can easily reconcile these payments in Xero - When your customer pays, Xero automatically reconciles the individual invoice payments and fees in a dedicated GoCardless clearing account. You'll then just need to manually reconcile the bank transfer when the payout from GoCardless arrives in your bank account.
We’ll be sure to post an update here if our plans change.

Either fix the issues with the GoCardless integrations, or give us a bank feed. The lack of functionality currently is incredibly poor.

We are stuck running our direct debit on the 20th of every month because of this. It doesn't matter whether I'm on holiday or it's the weekend, it has to be the 20th because we can't select "the last Friday" (or similar) for our repeating invoices.
If we don't sort the direct debit at this time, then customers start receiving invoice reminders (when they shouldn't) because there is no way to turn those off for specific repeating invoice templates paid by direct debit.
More and more businesses are running on similar subscription models, yet Xero are still in the dark ages.

Thanks for sharing with us here, everyone. We appreciate there are many improvements our customers would like to see to improve their workflows for setting up invoice themes for their customers. We do have a product team that have been focused on improvements to simplify and enhance the look of branding applied to your invoices. Being upfront this doesn't stretch to adding invoice reminders at the branding theme level for the time being.
We're continuing to watch and stay tuned to the ideas we have around this in our community and if there are any changes to share we'll post an update for you all, here.

This would be so beneficial for our business. It would help us actually get paid... Surely one of the most important features of accounting software?

Any movement on this? This would be helpful to so many users. Especially those with direct debits for some clients.

Might have to have a look at Sage then. This is really frustrating and wastes so much of our time. Xero shouldn't advertise this integration, it is barely functional.

Almost 2 years and we are still waiting for you to fix major issues with the GoCardless integration....?

I've had two phone calls with Xero now about this issue. Both agents have acknowledged that there are issues with the setup, and after trying to find workarounds can see that we are unable to use GoCardless effectively via Xero (due to Xero).
However, they have also told me that it isn't on the Product Team's agenda. So sounds like it is not going to be resolved.
I would not recommend Xero for any businesses out there who offer subscription services. I will certainly be looking elsewhere.

This would be so useful! We want to setup GoCardless automated payments, but we can't for this exact reason. And there is no way to turn off invoice reminders for repeating invoice templates, so we can't simply change the due dates to the same day for direct debit customers.
Really frustrating because taking payments automatically would save so much time.

Hi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate your engagement and sharing how custom fields would be advantageous to you here.
With lots of work for 'building on beautiful' underway atm, we want to be honest that custom fields is not planned in the near term.
Some in the idea here, may find the recent addition of Notes that can be added within the Contact Details section of a contacts record useful in being able to record and view specific detail relative to a contact at present - More on this shared here
We'll continue to evaluate the viability of largely voted ideas such as this when there is resource, however this unlikely in the next 12 months.

This would be so useful for us so that we can quickly and easily see which customers are in contract and which we need to look at renewing contracts for. It would save us so much time.

Any update on this? Seems as though it is a standard feature with Quickbooks.
