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 today;
Edit and add a new line to your invoice to add the late fee - you could make use of Xero's inbuilt calculator for this, or
Edit and add a 'mark up' to each line of your invoice - again Xero's inbuilt calculator could help with calculating the amounts
Explore Xero's app store to see if you can find an integration that works for your business needs
In an effort to prevent late payment of invoices Credit limits may help in being able to prevent customers raising too much debt with your business
We appreciate the options above don't automate the full process of what you're asking here, and we will share if there's any news. Thanks

Xero is increasing the sub costs again, but there has been nothing new for us for years. While your developers are sharpening their Tetris skills, your customers are struggling to live with the pain that is Xero.
PLEASE - AT LEAST LET US TO DO IT OURSELVES
If you could give us a custom field in the Statements template, we could put the interest in ourselves (but of course you don't have a custom field).
If we could get the statements via the API, we could pull the statement apart and add the interest (but of course you can't get the statements via the API and it is only available in pdf in the front-end).
If we could use the API to get the data used to calculate the statement lines, we could also build the statements ourselves (but of course that is also too hard for Xero).
