What is InvoiceNow?
InvoiceNow is the ability to send an invoice digitally between the accounting systems of business suppliers and buyers. Unlike sending a PDF file or online invoice via email, the invoice is automatically sent to a buyer’s accounting system through a secure network. So there’s no need for the business to manually handle the invoice. It also works if the two accounting systems are different, because an international standard (Peppol) allows these systems to ‘speak’ to each other.

What are the benefits of InvoiceNow to business owners like me?
1. Invoices won’t get lost in the mail
InvoiceNow ensures invoices are received directly in the other party’s accounting system, so they won’t get lost in the post or in your customer’s email folder.
2. Less admin work = more time saved
When you use Xero’s InvoiceNow-ready online accounting software and register on the Peppol network, the e-invoices you receive appear automatically as a draft bill, in Xero, for you to approve. This eliminates the need for manual data entry, and reduces the risk of errors.
3. Get paid faster
When you make it easier for your customers to pay you by using InvoiceNow and issuing invoices with Xero’s online invoicing feature, you can get paid faster. Xero customers who use online invoice payments (and include an online payment option) get paid up to 25 days faster than those who don’t (Source: Xero internal data, 2019 to 2020).
