Safaricom M-PESA Integration [Kenya Edition]
The Safaricom M-PESA integration is now available in Zoho Invoice. You can set up the integration and receive payments in the KES currency from your customers. M-PESA is a digital mobile payments service in Kenya that lets you seamlessly process payments using e-wallets.
To set up the integration, go to Settings > Online Payments. Navigate to the Alternate Modes section and click Set up Now near Safaricom M-PESA.
Simple Calculator Support in Rate Fields
You can now perform basic calculations directly in the Rate field in transactions using parentheses ( ) and the arithmetic operators + - / *. This is helpful when you need to make quick tax deductions before entering item rates in transactions. Note that the calculations follow the BODMAS rule.
Show SAT Item Details in Transaction PDFs [Mexico Edition]
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.
To access this preference, go to Settings > PDF Templates. Select a template and click the Table section. Here, you can select the SAT fields and customize them as required.
Update Your Organisation's MSME Details in Zoho Invoice [India Edition]
If your organisation is registered as an MSME, you can add its MSME details and display the MSME/Udyam Registration Number in your transaction PDFs to stay compliant with section 43B(h) of the Finance Act 2023.
The Government of India introduced the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Development (MSMED) Act, 2006 aiming to promote the growth of MSMEs. Following this, as per Section 43B(h) of the Finance Act of 2023, MSME-registered businesses must receive payments within 45 days from the date of purchase to prevent tax liabilities.
Display a UPI QR Code in Invoice PDFs [India Edition]
You can now allow your customers to easily scan a UPI QR code and make payments for invoices. Note that you'll need to record received payments manually if you enable this option.
To configure a UPI QR code, go to Settings > Invoices > Invoice QR Code. Enter the required details and click Save.
Split and Record Offline Payments for Invoices
You can now split and record a single invoice payment, adding up to three split payments with different payment methods. You can do this only when recording a payment during invoice creation. This feature comes in handy when you receive offline payments for your invoices via different payment modes.
To add a split payment, go to Invoices from the sidebar. Select the [] I have received the payment checkbox during invoice creation.
Create Organizations With ZiG As the Base Currency
You can now create organisations with ZiG (Zimbabwe Gold) as the base currency, and create transactions in ZiG for your customers in Zimbabwe. If required, Global edition organizations can change their base currency and transact in ZiG with their customers. ZiG is the newly-launched gold-based currency by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe.
To create a new organization, click the Organization Slider in the top band. Select Manage, and click + New Organization. Select Zimbabwe for Organization Location, and ZiG for Currency.
Alipay Payment Method via Stripe
We've introduced Alipay as a payment method via Stripe. Alipay is a popular digital wallet that is widely used in China. You can set up Alipay and receive payments in the CNY currency. Additionally, you can also receive payments in AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP, HKD, JPY, SGD, MYR, NZD, and USD currencies based on your business's location. Note that you will need to enable this payment method in your Stripe account as well.
The Stripe integration is available in these editions: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Global and India.
To enable this payment method, go to Settings > Online Payments > Stripe > Advanced Settings.
Other Enhancements
VAT Exempt and Out of Scope Options for VAT [United Kingdom Edition]
If your customer's Tax Treatment is United Kingdom, you can select their VAT as either VAT Exempt or Out of Scope.
Export Delivery Challans [India Edition]
You can now export the delivery challans you've created as a single file. You can also set a password to protect the exported file, if required.
