How can I make a recurring invoice/receipt that is being paid by a direct Paypal monthly subscription ?
I have clients, which pay me monthly a fixed rate directly via my paypal account. (I'M NOT USING ZOHO for this) Those clients are also being invoiced (some punctual & some recurring) for different other products & services I provide, and Zoho Invoice takes care of all that. But I want these external recurring paiements on paypal to show under my projects, reports and dashboard...Basically I want them to be calculated into Zoho Invoice, so I can balance my projects and know when my clients need to
Modify Notes when the timer is running
Suggestion. Allow access to the Notes Field on a Timesheet while Timer is running. I use the "Timer" a lot in Invoicing. It helps me keep track accurately and I love it. I'm a contractor. I'll show up on site, start the Timer and I see the animation to the right indicating the clock is running. But, I'd like to be able to add and modify to the Notes field as I complete each indiv task throughout the day. The only way to do that now is to STOP the timer, add or modify Notes, then RESTART the
Visibility & Access
Hello, I recently started using Zoho Invoices and have added a few more users to my account. However I noticed that other users under 'Staff Role' can: 1. Delete your account 2. Enable and Disable the ''Two Factor Authorisation'' option 3. Have Visibility of all Expenses 4. Manage the 'Allowed Ip's'' Shouldn't these options be only available to the ADMIN user? I don't feel safe that ' Staff ' users can have access to these options. There must be some way that this can be disabled from them; or if

How to send invoices with Gmail?
I'm using a basic Gmail account for my business, not a Google App account. I am also utilizing a service that allows me to track email opens and link clicks.

Retrieving invoice with REST v3 don't exist
Hi, I'm new to zoho API, and I'm developing an application that GETs invoices. I can retrieve invoices through /invoices, but while trying to retrieve the details of one invoice I get the error 1002: Invoice doesn't exist. I'm using this uri: https://invoice.zoho.com/api/v3/invoices/1234500000098765?authtoken=343045xxxxxxxxxxxx&organization_id=xxxxxxx 1234500000098765 is meant to be invoice_id.

Individual Client Rates
I would like to be able to set a per hour rate for each of my clients - I, like most service providers have no need for products but offer all my services on an hourly basis. A field in each client to establish their hourly rate and being able to bill them accordingly would be great as clients pay different rates for different reasons (i.e for us schools and charities have a discount as do local businesses) - at the moment I have to use the discount option per invoice and have to somehow remember
Attaching Files to Projects
I own a small, private construction business and am using Zoho Invoice to organize and budget my various projects. When I go to a new project sight and discuss various estimates, I write out a basic project invoice and description on paper. I like these because they are quick and I am used to them. In my office, however, I would love to keep them organized electronically. I use them to later build a project in Zoho Invoice. It would be SO nice if once finished, I could simply attach the scanned document

send via fax or export with fax cover
Sometimes my client do not use email as the communication. They prefer to use traditional fax. It will be great if inovice can be sent via built-in efax. Or, the invoice can be exported as pdf together with a fax cover which include the email template. So that I can use my own efax and then send the invoice to my client.
Why does the PDF version of my invoice (custom template) look COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than the preview?
The invoice that displays on screen, right before I click SEND, is beautiful. The invoice that gets converted into PDF or emailed via the Send button -- much more simple. Could it have something to do with the fact that I created custom HTML templates? Why doesn't that show up as the preview, though?

Hi, Great that I can add unbilled expenses when I invoice my customer. However, for a customer using a custom price list, Zoho Invoice tells me that "Automobile Expense is not in the price list PriceListUSA. Please enter the item rate manually..

Can I set timesheet log entry as billed?
Hi, Thanks for Zoho Invoice - really sweet app, a joy to use. Is there a way to mark a timesheet log entry as "billed"? I started a new project about a month ago, and used Zoho for invoicing. Now that I see Zoho does timesheets as well, I'd like to move all my timesheets into Zoho. But when I add all my time logs for the last month, the log entries as say "unbilled", even though I've already invoiced the client through Zoho. Is there a way to tell Zoho, "Hey, these timesheet log entries are already
Zoho Invoice's integration with Zoho CRM, an update
Here's a heads up on the scheduled revamp of the integration between Zoho Invoice and Zoho CRM. We are listing down a list of inclusions that you'll see for sure. a. We will be supporting the option to importing "Contacts". With the present level of integration you'll be able to import only the "Accounts" and the contacts associated with them. The new integration will let you import independent contacts who aren't associated with an Account. This is a shift from invoicing only from B2B to invoicing
Poor wording in portal welcome message
Is it just me, or is the word "you" missing from your portal welcome pop-up message? We're excited to see here at the portal. Here you can find all your transactions associated with ********************. You can access this portal at anytime and keep track of all your payment details. Can I suggest something simple like "Welcome to the client portal. Here you can find all..." Some things just sound more natural than others.

About HTML customize with Estimate and Credit Note
Hi there, I am new here and I want to ask you guys something. I have been able to make a Custom Template for my Invoice with my own HTML formatting etc., but when I turn to the Estimate and the Credit Note; sounds like I don't have that option of custom HTML. Am I right about this, or is this function hidden somewhere I don't know ? I think that if the invoice have this feature than other documents should have it too, because most of us need the documents in the same style and format; like branding

New interface - Convert to open
Hello, When creating an invoice, it is always done as a Draft. In the old interface, there was an option to convert it to "Open". I can't find this option any more in the new interface. The only way is to Record a payment, but if we didn't receive any payment, this is not an option. As long as the invoice is a Draft, it doesn't show as overdue, even if the payment date has passed. This is really annoying as I like the new interface, but I constantly have to switch to the old interface to change the
Notification when we add a comment
Hi: We are using Client Portal feature of Zoho Invoice. There our clients made comments on estimates and invoices, and we get an email notification.
