Hi team, work for requesting and accept deposit payments has progressed well. We're now just entering the stage of rolling out a solution powered by Stripe to a limited group of users.
As mentioned in my last update - we're extremely grateful to our community here, who have shared their interest and provided feedback on how deposits in invoicing would meet your needs. We'd love to hear your feedback on our developments for this feature early and have included anyone that has voted on this idea and is connected to Stripe in the first group rollout - You'll receive a banner in your organisation on how to make use of this soon.
I'll share more again here as the rollout widens. Thanks!

Great news, but saying that you can't give "specifics on a timeline" feels like a deflection. A clear commitment to this idea is not really present, it feels like you're kicking the issue down the road to take the heat out of our collective frustration.
Please prioritise this because it's too important of a feature to us, and we can't afford to be hanging around for another year in hope that you'll add it.

@Daniel Morris: This is such a basic feature that is common (and helpful) accross many other platforms. I can only conclude that Xero are willfully ignoring developing this feature.

Please Xero, just get this long overdue feature done. We're growing tired of the cumbersome workarounds we have to use just to approximate this feature.

Thanks for all your feedback around being able to issue progress payments on sales invoices.
Right now as noted by others in the idea, one option for processing progress payments in Xero could be to use a draft invoice to keep track of the total amount, and using Copy to create new invoices for each progress payment, linking them back to the original project or quote in the description. It’s not a perfect solution, but may help manage the process.
We've been listening to your feedback and know there are multiple ways businesses operate - and we're exploring solutions for these workflows such as progress payments, and additionally, the ability to accept a deposit from a single invoice.
While we're unable to provide timeframes around this just yet, please know that this is a priority to us and we'll keep you updated on the progress through this idea.

I appreciate Xero finally making a statement about this in August. Unfortunately, it isn’t a very strong commitment and feels more like an attempt to ease the pressure around this issue than to actually resolve it.
If we’re still waiting for this feature a year from now, we’ll be moving to another platform that already offers this feature. The workarounds have become too cumbersome, and we simply don’t have the time or capacity to keep managing this issue.
