Hi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate everyone’s interest and support for enabling the ability to apply a prompt payment discount to invoices.
We understand how a direct prompt payment discount feature would improve the efficiency and automate manual efforts currently involved for you all here, but would like to be transparent that this isn’t something we’ve been able to roadmap atm.
Right now, one way to indicate that your business accepts or will apply a discount for prompt payment would be to write this into the invoice payment terms. When acted on there are a few ways you could consider recording this in Xero, such as;
Edit the invoice to apply a discount directly
Edit the invoice to add a negative line that directly draws down the total amount of the invoice
Apply a credit to the invoice for the portion of the discount
We'd recommend connecting with your Xero advisor on how they'd recommend recording this in your org.
Alternatively, there are connected invoicing apps that you can explore through our Xero App store.
We'll continue to track support through this idea, and our product teams will continue to consider this in future planning, so if there’s any updates we’ll share here. Thanks

Although I agree this should be implemented, I am now sadly receiving all your complaints in my inbox and I do not know how to unsubscribe. Thats the real problem haha. (Found the unsubscribe in the mail!)
Jokes aside. If you need this functionality, think about how rounding errors or bank fees are handled in Xero. This is nothing more than a field that books debit or credit amounts to an account.
Create your own account (Payment Discounts) and manually create the transaction by using the create view. This way you don't have a one-second button, it's still quick and easy and does essentially the same thing.
