Xero Integration [South Africa and Global Editions]
Xero is cloud-based software allowing you to simplify the accounting process for your customers' subscriptions.
Previously, the Xero integration was available only in US, UK and Australian editions of Zoho Billing. Now, we have added support for Xero integration in the South Africa edition and organizations in the Global edition with location set as South Africa, US, UK, New Zealand or Australia.
If you are using the mentioned editions, you can integrate your Zoho Billing organization with Xero to manage your finances with features like bank reconciliation, multi-currency accounting, and more.

QuickBooks Online is cloud-based accounting software for small businesses. We have extended support for the QuickBooks Online integration to organizations in the Global edition, with location set as US, UK, Canada or Australia. If you are using the Global edition of Zoho Billing, in the mentioned locations, you can integrate with QuickBooks Online to manage accounting for your customers' subscriptions effortlessly.
Image Custom Field
Zoho Billing now supports adding images as custom fields, allowing you to upload and display images directly, which will also be visible from the transactions Details page. You can also display the image custom field in PDF templates, enabling you to display the image to your customers in the exported PDF.
Filipino and Bahasa Melayu Language Support [Global Edition]
You can now use the Global edition of Zoho Billing in the Filipino and Bahasa Melayu languages. This is particularly useful if your business location is set in the Phillipines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore and Thailand.
Standalone TDS Payments
Zoho Billing allows you to record standalone TDS payments for both single and multiple invoices. This is helpful in cases where the transaction date for the TDS payment is different from the invoice payment date.
Prorate One-Time Addons
When you update a subscription in the middle of a term and add a one-time addon, you can choose to charge your customer only for the remainder of the subscription's billing cycle.
Note: You can prorate one-time addons only if you have enabled Prorated Billing in your organization.
To prorate one-time addons:
- Navigate to Settings.
- Select General under Subscriptions.
- Enable Prorated Billing.
- Enable Prorate one-time addons when editing subscriptions.
Send Payment Links via WhatsApp
If you have integrated your Zoho Billing organization with WhatsApp, you can now directly send payment links to your customers via WhatsApp, offering a faster and more convenient way to request payments.
Note: You need to create a WhatsApp template from Settings > Reminders & Notifications > WhatsApp and get it approved by WhatsApp before you can send them to your customers.
