    Hi team, I'd like to confirm that the ability to send invoices via SMS is now released to all AU users that have connected Stripe.

    We're beginning to look at expanding this feature to other regions, and next up with be the US.

    Stay tuned for more updates on this here 😊


    While sending via SMS is available within individual invoices atm, it is not possible to automate this with invoice reminders yet. If you're interested in this we have a slightly different idea you may like to join and follow across here.

    Why has the SMS functionality been made exclusive to Stripe users?

    There are alot of your customers that are unable to use Stripe as they're classified as a restricted business through Stripe.

    I know for certain it is a choice and not required technically, as it worked fine with no connection to Stripe during the beta. I will be looking elsewhere for accounting software if this is not rectified.

    Hi everyone, sending invoices via SMS is now available to all Australian users that have connected Stripe. With great uptake we're now looking to extend this feature, and the next region SMS will be launched to is the US. I'll keep you updated on it's release here. We'll continue working toward making this feature available to more users so any news of other regions will also be shared through this idea.

    Just to confirm for everyone here - It's not currently possible to set up send SMS for invoice reminders, to send an invoice via SMS you'll need to open each invoice and select this option from the 3 dot option menu in the top right of the invoice. Developing a more automated means may be something we look to do over time but isn't in the plans just yet.

    Was a great feature during Beta. but now we are required to be connected to Stripe to use it??? What of your customers that do not fit Stripes terms of service? It worked fine through beta testing without Stripe. Why not keep it that way?
