Credit Card payment API
Store encrypted credit cards for customers and be able to initiate (through the invoice API) credit card payment via any credit card processor's API. Paypal Web Payments Pro would be good out of the box but ideally would be set up to work with most standard APIs.

I think it is a good idea to close this suggestion out as it is not a direction we wish to take for now. Over the next 2 quarters we will be looking to deliver improvements within the application in terms of development of online invoicing and supporting more payment processors, but a credit card payment API is not something we will be looking to do within a 0-3 year timeframe, so declining this suggestion.

I agree with Nathan. I am seeing Xero as an accounting system - not a billing system. There are plenty of lovely SaaS or standalone billing systems that you can integrate with Xero. (I use WHMCS and Harvest)

This all sounds too far away from Xero's core business.

There are a lot of PCI compliancy issues here to be considered

There are actually several requests in this thread which are similar but not all the same:
1. Have a customer facing secure area for clients to receive invoices and make payments as well as store payment information. (like bill.com or intuit payments)
2. Store credit card information for clients.
3. Automated recurring bill facilitiesThese might need to be broken up?

I would like something similar to this which links to another idea posted.
Customer is sent a link to view a pdf invoice in a secure space. There is then options for payment, like the PayPal one (but the fees are way too high), that links via an API to CC processors like MIGS where the customer can make payment manually then after payment returns them to the invoice showing as paid and the invoice updated in Xero.

Quickbooks 2010 can currently do this.

This would be great for us. We want to add line items to an invoice every night via a batch process. Once we roll over into the new month, we want to be able to tell the Xero system to run through all Invoices (we can pass the invoice information) and have it charged via DPS.
