New Edition
Empowering South African Small Businesses
In 2024, we made a significant step forward with the launch of the South Africa edition, designed to support small businesses across the country. We've introduced features like VAT, HSN codes. Moreover, you can also add items as capital assets and apply domestic reverse charge to transactions.
Invoices
You Can Now Add Payment Forms to Transactions [Mexico]
Since it’s mandatory to include a payment form for every transaction, we’ve made it simple for you. With the Payment Form field, you can easily associate methods like cash, nominal checks, and more while creating invoices or credit notes.
Effortlessly Manage Split Payments
You can now conveniently split and record a single invoice payment, adding up to three split payments with different payment methods. This can be done only when recording a payment during invoice creation.
Refund Payments on Invoice with Ease
You can now refund the full amount received for an invoice. When you do, the invoice will be dissociated from the payment, and the refunded amount will automatically be created as a credit note.
Payments
Simplify Payments with Zoho Payments [India and US]
With Zoho Payments, you can securely collect payments from your customers. Simply go to Settings, configure it, and you'll be able to accept payments through multiple methods.
New Payment Methods Now Available via Stripe
Two new payment methods have been introduced via Stripe - Klarna, which offers flexible payment options and Alipay, a popular digital wallet used widely in China. Now, you have even more convenient ways to pay!
You Can Accept Payments via M-PESA [Kenya]
The Safaricom M-PESA integration is now available in Zoho Invoice, allowing you to process payments seamlessly through M-PESA e-wallets. You can easily set it up to receive payments in KES from your customers in Kenya.
PDF Templates
Show SAT Item Details in Transaction PDFs [Mexico]
The SAT Item Code and SAT Unit Code fields can now be displayed in the item table of your transaction PDFs. You can customize how these fields will be displayed in your transaction PDFs or choose to hide them from Templates.
Display a UPI QR Code in Invoice PDFs [India]
Allow your customers to scan a UPI QR code easily and make payments. Note that the received payments will need to be recorded manually if you enable this option.
Assign Company ID to Customers for Better Tracking [Global]
We've introduced the Company ID field, where you can enter a company's unique identification number when creating a new customer. You can customize the Billing Address Format in your PDF template to display the Company ID in your transactions.This can be helpful in countries like France, where businesses have a unique 9-digit SIREN number, which you can add as a Company ID when creating a customer.
Taxes
Update Your MSME Details and Stay Compliant [India]
If your organisation is registered as an MSME, you can now add the MSME/Udyam Registration Number in your transaction PDFs to stay compliant with section 43B(h) of the Finance Act 2023.
Manage and Track TDS in Transactions [India]
You can now apply Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) in quotes, credit notes, and recurring invoices, and easily track them in the TDS Receivables report. You can also set a Start Date and End Date for existing TDS rates in transactions.
Streamline Income TDS Rates under Direct Taxes [India]
We’ve introduced Income TDS Rates under Direct Taxes, allowing you to easily create, edit, and delete TDS rates. You can also view associated transactions and apply TDS at the line item or transaction level.
Usability Enhancements
Do Quick Calculations in Rate Fields
Perform quick calculations directly in the Rate field of transactions with simple arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /) and parentheses. This makes it easier to quickly adjust rates like tax deductions before entering the item rates.
Resize Column Width in List Pages
Adjust the width of columns in list pages that have more than eight columns. You can do this in the Customers, Invoices, Quotes, Credit Notes, and Expenses modules.
Effortlessly Bulk Export Invoices as ZIP Files
You can bulk export up to 100 invoices as PDFs within a single ZIP file. If you have used custom templates in any of the invoices, you can export a maximum of 50 invoices in each ZIP file.
Windows App Updates
- You can split payments for invoices.
- TCS support is made available in sales orders.
- Tax creation is now supported in the Australia edition.
- Payment form is available in credit notes for Mexico.
iOS App Updates
