    I am exploring transferring our quote generation from an external system to Xero however the benefits are not stacking up at present. Here is what I would need to get me over the line.

    1. We usually require a deposit at the time that the customer accepts the quote. It would be good to show the deposit required on the quote - for us this is usually 50% and we add that into the quote terms. It would be useful though to specify a percentage deposit in Xero and then show this amount at the bottom of the quote. My current quote system does not do this.

    2. When a customer accepts a quote online it would be great if the system then offered our payment services as a way of paying the deposit. To be clear we do not usually invoice for the goods until they are installed as this is when the warranty starts. At present we enter deposits as prepayments which are then allocated to the invoice when it is raised.

    3. As another option it would be good to have a "Pay Deposit Now" option on PDF quotes which then links through to our payments services with just the deposit amount.

    Thanks
