Send branded invoices in seconds
Add your logo, colours and payment terms once, then save them as your default. Set up repeating invoices for regular customers, bill whole customer groups at once, and let Xero fill in customer details as you type. Every invoice looks polished and goes out in a fraction of the time.
Automated repeating invoices
Bill your customers the same amount each month? Let Xero's invoicing automation create and send the invoices for you.
Invoice groups of customers at once
If you charge a group of customers the same amount, ask Xero to send identical auto-invoices to the whole group in one go. Job done!
Smarter invoice management, less typing
Set up default details for each customer. Every invoice after that fills in automatically – fewer errors, faster turnaround.
Offer customers more ways to pay
Give customers an easy way to pay. Xero connects with trusted payment providers like Stripe and GoCardless, so they can settle up by card, debit card or direct debit, straight from a pay now button on the invoice. Xero customers who use online invoice payments get paid up to twice as fast.
