Hi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate everyone’s interest and support for enabling the ability to apply a prompt payment discount to invoices.
We understand how a direct prompt payment discount feature would improve the efficiency and automate manual efforts currently involved for you all here, but would like to be transparent that this isn’t something we’ve been able to roadmap atm.
Right now, one way to indicate that your business accepts or will apply a discount for prompt payment would be to write this into the invoice payment terms. When acted on there are a few ways you could consider recording this in Xero, such as;
- Edit the invoice to apply a discount directly
- Edit the invoice to add a negative line that directly draws down the total amount of the invoice
- Apply a credit to the invoice for the portion of the discount
We'd recommend connecting with your Xero advisor…

Hi Meehgan thanks for sharing this idea here. Appreciate having the need to have different payment terms for different contacts. While this is not an existing option in Xero, we are adding your idea to gaining support so that other members from the community are also able to add their comments and vote on this. :)

Invoices cannot be edited once financial periods have been closed. This is particularly problematic for organisations that operate under strict reporting deadlines and governance requirements for business stakeholders.
This approach is not scalable or sustainable for businesses that offer early settlement discounts across a large customer base or multiple customer segments.
Requiring credit notes to adjust these transactions creates unnecessary administrative effort for both customers and suppliers, increasing processing time and operational complexity.
This feature would help reduce administrative overhead, improve efficiency, and provide a more practical solution for managing early settlement discounts.
