Have integration with or an import function for Quotewerks
Create a partnership with or API for quotewerks to be able to import or synchronize invoices and purchase orders from quotewerks to xero and visaversa.
2 votesAs this forum is for developer API functionality requests and yours relates to something that Quotewerks would need to build. We have an API that will facilitate this.

allow use of the enter key to move through the fields when inputting data
Currently you have to tab across but when entering lots of numerical data it is much quicker to use enter on the number pad instead
2 votesAs this forum is for developer API functionality requests and yours relates to something that would need to happen in the main application, I’m afraid we have to decline this suggestion, but don’t take it personally – we would still love to see you make your suggestion in the Xero Community forum: https://community.xero.com/business/

Add a payment gateway such as sagepay so that payments for invoices can be taken via Xero
It would be nice to beable to take a payment over the phone using a virtual terminal from within Xero.
Adding a take payment now button when an invoice is approved and adding a payment gateway such as sagepay for this would be very useful.
8 votesFor developers looking to integrate a payment system themselves (including SagePay) they can do so using this guide we have provided: http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api-guides/payment-services-integration-with-xero/
While providing an integration to SagePay as part of our payment services feature in Xero is not currently on the roadmap, you can raise and vote on a feature request for it in our Xero community: https://community.xero.com/business/topic/23/

Make the due dates of bills available as a calendar feed
It would be great if I could hook up the due dates of the bills that I have added to Xero to my Google calendar. It would help me more easily keep track of when I have to pay my bills by. Doesn't have to have much detail in it. Maybe just the number of bills due on a date.
1 voteThis forum is for API features and I’m afraid this does not include features like this. The good news is that there is already a 3rd party application providing a connection between Xero and Google Calendar: https://zapier.com/zapbook/xero/google-calendar/2516/create-google-calendar-event-from-xero-invoice/
If you are keen to see this as a feature within Xero, you could make a request in our feature requests forum: https://community.xero.com/business/topic/23/

Let an API link Xero bank rules to Excel, for big time savings
If this only let us export, import, create and delete, it would quickly give big time savings, avoid many errors and encourage better rule coding. However, its value will grow exponentially as we use the combined rules, of many clients, to copy rules between them and new clients. This could soon give all Xero users local and national Excel rule libraries. Their rules could reference rule creators, both for support and to encourage library contributions. The reputation of the rule creator, forum comments on each rule and the Likes (votes) of users will encourage much wider sharing of much better…
15 votesThe API is not suited to this purpose, this would need to be built in the main application in order for users to import/export. It could be exposed via the API also later on, but for now, the best place to show support for this functionality is in our community forum: https://community.xero.com/business/discussion/65371/
This forum is specifically for developer API functionality (exposing existing Xero functions through the API).

open standards data & document formats
At the moment I can import & export financial data via an Open Standards CSV format (& well-documented API's), which is great for interoperability with other systems :)
Unfortunately this is not carried through universally, such as Custom Invoice Branding, which is reliant on ms docx formats.
This excludes a significant potion of my own customer-base (many SME's/SMB's reducing overheads) that are increasing not making use of manu ms-based technologies (i.e. office), and are increasingly moving toward more "cloud-based" solutions, such as Google Docs (sample docs are an absolute mess in GDocs) & Open/LibreOffice.Please add support for common, Open…

API to set exchange rates
Create and API entry point to set default exchange rates, just like we do on the Settings page.
Rational: here in Poland, we're obliged to use the Polish Central Bank exchange rates on accounting. Having an API for it makes it possible for us the call it once everyday to set the rate for the next day. Without this we're not able to use Xero officially for bookkeeping. (we have to setup the rates for this whole calendar year!)

Expose everything via the API
Everything visible in the web interface should be exposed via the API. In fact ideally the web interface itself would be a client of the API, which would ensure that all useful technology is exposed.
224 votesWe’re closing this request out and asking that developers suggest or vote for the specific features you’re after as it’s easier to get feedback to you on each request this way and also free up your votes. I’d like to reassure you we’re committed to offering the best API we can.

Allow third party apps to plug into the Xero interface
If the Xero interface could be configured to display data from and interact with the apps third party developers are creating similar to the way Facebook applications work inside their platform
34 votesIt is certainly a nice idea in a lot of ways, and Jesse’s use case example is good one.
On the other side, allowing 3rd party applications plug into the core Xero application present some quite major security implications. The data we hold on behalf of our customers is considered highly sensitive by us and we ensure we have bank level security across all aspects of our application.
Second to that, we are a design lead and focused company – we want our software to be really easy to use and remain simple and intuitive, so allowing 3rd parties to introduce interface elements into Xero would be something we would need to carefully plan for.
With this in mind, it would be quite an onerous task for us to implement a secure framework that would allow 3rd party applications to interface within Xero, in a sensible way that does not…
