  1. Integrate Magento into Xero.

    I mean, it's only the fastest growing and one of the most widely used ecommerce softwares available today. Many people on the Magento forums have been asking for a solution to accounting and Xero would be perfect. (I know that there is already a company that created an integrator, but they charge a monthly fee! It's just one more unnecessary monthly expense)

  4. Allow blank invoice items when creating invoices

    Example http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/6735/invoicelinebreaksexampl.png

    Add the ability to enter invoice items without specifying quantity, unit price or anything else. And have all these fields blank on the invoice. You can already do this through xero, just not via the API.

    Perhaps some sort of line seperator item?

  7. Come up to date with a more modern Authorisation Mechanism rather than using OAuth1.0a

    oAuth1.0a was developed in 2009 and is so complicated it just doesn't make it a viable option to maximise the Xero API with any simplicity. Most organisations have at least moved to oAuth2.0.

    How about it Xero, what's the chance of moving with the times?

  9. Be able to see if an invoice has been emailed

    At the moment the invoice Status field only shows draft/submitted/authorised/paid.

    Would be realy great to be able to see if an invoice was emailed after authorisation, and also if the invoice has been emailed once fullpayment has been made.

    Thanks

  12. Support oauth_callback during request for an unathorised request token

  13. add invoice templating system

    similar to Xero for Office but online. There are many international users who will love to have invoices in their own language.

    In the December 2010 release of Xero, we added a feature for users to define custom branding themes using .docx invoice templates. These templates are used to generate PDFs of invoices and statements. These docx invoice templates can use any language you choose.

    See http://blog.xero.com/2010/12/design-your-own-invoices/ for more informaiton.

    The Xero API has since been enhanced to allow invoices to be created, referencing different branding themes. Once an invoice has been created, the PDF of the invoice can be downloaded via the API.

    See http://developer.xero.com/api-overview/http-get/ and http://blog.xero.com/developer/api/invoices/ for more information.

  14. Show TrackingOptionID in LineItem in Invoices API (and other endpoints)

    The Invoices endpoint in particular (and many others in general), do not include the TrackingOptionID in the data set. Instead, they generally provide only the Name, Option and TrackingCategoryID.

    It is really important for being able to use "joins" on the data to incl;ude the TrackingOptionID .

    Hi everyone,


    Thank you for the continued feedback here. To help our engineering teams focus on the remaining technical requirements, we are closing this request and splitting it into two separate, dedicated threads.

    This ensures that the specific feature request for Journals and the technical fix for LineItem IDs can be tracked and updated independently. Please follow the links below to stay informed on the progress of each:


    1. http://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528/suggestions/51138799: Feature request to add TrackingOptionID to the Journals endpoint.
    2. http://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528/suggestions/51138802: Technical fix for the issue where only one LineItem ID is being returned instead of two.


    Moving to these specific threads allows us to provide more specific updates on the schedule for each. Thanks for helping us improve the Xero API!


  15. Notify via email when webhooks is disabled automatically

    The custom webhooks are disabled automatically if there was not a successful response from the destination for 24 hours. There is no notification when this has happened and to check this we need to go to the webhooks page and then manually enable it and re-send the ITR.
    There could be email notifications sent when the webhook is disabled.

  16. Add DELETE functionality to things like Items and Accounts

    Currently we can populate items and accounts through API calls but we cannot remove them using a delete API call.

    I understand if an Item is being referenced withing an Invoice Item it probably can't be deleted, but would like the ability to at least flag the item or account so that it can no longer be used.

  17. Enable an Attachment for Accounts Receivable (invoices to be sent)

    Attachments (one actually) are permitted for Receipts and Accounts Payable. They would also be very useful for Accounts Receivable (invoices to be sent to customers).

    Common attachments to be emailed with the Invoice are timesheets, quotes, and copies of acceptance certificates.

    Attachments help getting the customer to approve an invoice, in turn helping to get the cash back faster.

  19. Include contact id on GET /invoices

    When retrieving invoices using the GET /invoices method the contact portion does not contain the Xero contact ID or contact Code therefore an additional series of GET /invoice/invoiceID method calls are required to establish the contact.

  20. API History (log) for OAuth 2.0 apps.

    We used to get OAuth 1.0a app history on developer.xero.com/myapps but no longer for OAuth 2.0 apps. Can we have this back?
