  2. 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.

    For 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/

  3. Challenge:

    We love using Xero there are so many pluses! But…we also use add-ons which integrate with Xero. When information is pushed and pulled through, if our clients have misspelt their company name, or even written Limited as Ltd (or vice versa) it creates a whole new client in Xero even if the client currently exists (eg.if purchasing tickets through Eventbrite). We have three integrations going so this can happen three different times and for our administrators and accounts team…a logistical nightmare .

    Solution:

    I’m pretty sure a code can be developed that recognizes elements in a company name (or…

  4. I would like to export PDF reports via the API to email to management monthly via a 1 click process. I cannot built this presently without converting the report data to PDF format myself.

  5. Send an automatic reminder notice after, either, 7 days, 14 days, and/or 21 days once the invoice gets overdue. We should have the facility to choose number of reminder notices. Have the facility to generate reminder notice report.

    We sent several invoices everyday and it is hard for us to remember to send a notice to clear their overdue payments

    My client needed this system in xero and he was depressed when he heard that it's not yet developed in xero.

    Good news! Work is almost complete for invoice reminders in Xero so look out for it in the app very soon.

    I’m closing this particular suggestion as it seems to relate to Xero in general rather than the Xero API. General Xero suggestions are best placed here https://community.xero.com/business/discussion/50961/

    If anyone voting for this issue has any API specific suggestions for invoice reminders then please feel free to post it as a new idea.

    Regards,
    Adam

  6. Simple thing, just give option for copying/bcc'ing others, especially for clients who specify that you do this.

  7. 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.

    This 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/

  8. Added to wrong section, moving here to Invoices.

    I'd like to generate draft Bills for my subcontractors via xero api, and let them review and submit the invoice. If the User element is exposed like it is in expense claims, then the invoices will be available to the users that it is attached to, and have the draft invoice role.

  15. I love the mail-merge style placeholders you've added to the email templates, but there could easily be more!

    For example the "Contact Name" - a lot of my customers are businesses, so the emails will say "Hi ABC Company Pty Ltd" which looks silly. I've added the contact names of the actual people I deal with at those companies into the Contacts section of Xero, so having access to "Contact First Name" for example would be excellent.

  16. Traditional UK Invoices for small businesses would not look like the ones you can currently produce from your template. There is very little flexibility as to where the logo can be positioned and it does not allow other elements to balance. I do not have the expertise or ability to get someone elese to create a new docx template.

  17. It would be cool if we could push invoices to the in.xero.com portal from other 3rd party applications, then users could import them seamlessly into their accounts.

  18. Provide an API to retrieve the transactions of an account. (e.g. something like this Profit & Loss report-> click on the YTD value of an account)

  20. TrackingCategories returns IDs for both categories and options as follows
