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…

This is actually really poor from Xero. Im going to leave because it is now the only accounting software of any note that doesn't have a facility for deposits request as standard. Deposits aren't unusual and in fact in many sectors it is the norm. The lack of functionality seems to reflect a lack of commercial experience/acumen by the Xero Team/Corporation. I am sure most customers would give this a wide-berth if they realised before purchase that this wasn't a standard feature. It seems there is a complete reliance by Xero on locking customers into Xero rather than product innovation and development. Going back to Quickbooks
