    Hey community, we want to acknowledge all the feedback you’ve provided on this idea. We know from your comments here and through other channels that taking deposits or partial payments on invoices is a crucial part of the workflow for many businesses, whether it's to cover initial costs or to confirm a new project.

    In terms of current options, within Xero there is the ability to create prepayments. Alternatively there are some third-party apps that serve these needs, too.

    However, we do want to share that our product team is actively working on a solution that'll allow you to request and accept deposit payments.

    While we can't give specifics on a timeline as yet, please know that this is a priority for us. We're grateful for the detailed feedback you've provided so far, which has been invaluable in getting us to this point.

    We’ll be sure to keep you updated…

    I receive upfront payments for pretty much all of my work. At the moment, I have to invoice it upfront and there is no recognition of the liability to repay these amounts if the work is cancelled.

    In my previous software, I could create a quote with a % deposit requirement and that payment would be recorded as unearned revenue until it was invoiced. That worked much better than what I have to do now.
