Hi everyone, we’d like to round back to share an update that the ability to accept deposits has now rolled out to all AU, NZ, UK, CA, SG and US organisations, and we expect to make this available to remaining regions soon.
Staying close to feedback from its release, our team have recently added a due date field in which you can select a specific date that payment of the deposit is expected if this differs from the Invoice due date.
I look forward to looping back to finalise once we’re at 100% roll out of deposits, and give you a hint of where we’ll be expanding functionality next!

Hi Rudi,
Why is this feature tied to a Stripe membership? We won't be paying for Stripe membership and would like to record deposit payments in Xero. For our business, most jobs are scheduled upon payment of a deposit and currently it's a very clumsy process.
It would be great to have an option of Xero-only subscribers.

Our business needs to accept a deposit payment on a QUOTE, before work commences which allows us to cover the materials / consumables costs of the job. This payment is then accounted for in the invoice that is created after work is completed. Ie, the invoice is created from the quote. We will occasionally create invoices before work is completed for larger jobs where instalment payments are required.
On our current system the deposit is an optional line after the Quote total and there is an option to enter this as a % or $ amount (see attachment).
The lack of this functionality in Xero is the reason we have resisted moving over to Xero for so long.

Hey community, we get the vying interest in this and how having a copy of the invoice sent within Xero would help when following up with debtors, or in disputes.
As many of you have pointed out, the best option that exists within Xero for now is to use the 'send me a copy' checkbox. This gives you a solid record in your own email inbox to fall back on. While it takes a little setting up you could create a filter in your email inbox to route these to a specific folder for reference.
Another smart tip as shared here could be setting up a dedicated email address to file these automatically, and keep things organised.
Though not a solve for the body of the email that's being asked here, a change that we recently made for invoices is that all sent invoices will include the primary To: email address…

If you would like inspiration on how to integrate taking deposits on quotes, have a look at how Jobber does it. We worked with them for years and it was seamless: https://help.getjobber.com/hc/en-us/articles/115009379007-Deposits-on-Quotes
