Zoho Billing in 2024 : A Year of Growth
You asked! We listened! 2024 saw a lot of updates in Zoho Billing to improve your overall billing management experience. Let us take a look back at some of the major updates in 2024.
New Features & Enhancements
Sales Enhancements
Create One-Time Invoice with Plans and Addons
You can now create one-time invoices with plans and addons. This is particularly useful when you want to sell a plan to your customers without impacting your churn reports.
Create Subscriptions From Quotes
Craft personalized quotes with custom pricing for plans and add-ons, which your customers can either accept or decline. These quotes can be directly converted into subscriptions. You can create quotes for subscriptions from the customer's details page or the Quotes list page.
Split Offline Invoice Payments
We have introduced an option to split offline payments for your invoices upto three different parts. You can assign different payment methods for each part.This is particularly useful for cases when you receive payment from your customers through different payment modes for your invoices.
Customization Enhancements
Customize Keyboard Shortcuts
Customize your keyboard shortcuts in your organization according to your preferences. You can also disable the keyboard shortcuts if you don't need them and enable them later. If you want to go back to the default shortcuts, you can simply reset them.
Minimized Web Tabs
With our latest update to web tabs, you can minimize and view a web tab while navigating other modules within the app. This can be particularly helpful in cases where you might want to cross-verify data from a web tab.
Validate Custom Fields Using Regex
You can now add validation for your custom fields using regex. This ensures that the values that are entered adhere to the required format, which helps validate values like phone numbers or ZIP codes. You can also use this while importing data.
Associate Branch-Specific Logos
Some companies use different logos for different branches to tailor brand identity for specific regions or market segments. If your business has multiple branches in different regions, you can now associate different logos for each branch.
Customer Enhancements
Unique Customer Numbers
Zoho Billing allows you to use unique customer numbers to eliminate confusion caused by multiple customers with the same name. This, in turn, reduces the risk of errors while managing transactions. You can also configure how to auto-generate customer numbers.
Hosted Payment Page Enhancements
Enable Customers to Update Their Information From the Hosted Payment Pages
When your customers subscribe to a new plan through the multi-page hosted payment pages, they can edit the prefilled details, including name, contact number, address, and custom fields, after completing OTP verification.
Share the Hosted Payment Page via QR Code
You can now share the hosted payment page by generating a QR code. This is particularly helpful if you want to embed it in your websites, posters, banners, and the like.
Reports Enhancements
Introducing the Net Revenue Retention Report
Keep track of how well your organization retains customers and recurring revenue from them over a specific period using the Net Revenue Retention Report. This helps you get an overview of the company's long-term growth.
Aging Summary in Customer Statement
We have supported including the Aging Summary in the Customer Statement. This way, you can view the outstanding payments for a particular customer with ease and share it with them when required.
To enable Aging Summary in Customer Statement:
- Navigate to Settings > PDF Templates > Customer Statement > Transaction Details.
- Enable Aging Summary under the Document Details section.
Edition-Specific Enhancements
Unveiling the South Africa Edition
We have launched the South Africa edition of Zoho Billing with support for VAT and HSN codes for businesses operating in South Africa. Zoho Billing also supports adding items as capital assets and applying a domestic reverse charge to transactions.
Display UPI QR Code in Invoice PDFs (India Edition)
UPI is one of the most common payment methods in India. You can now enable your customers to pay you faster by displaying your UPI QR code on your invoice PDFs. Your customers can conveniently scan the QR code from their invoice PDFs using their UPI app to pay for invoices.
Extend the Validity Period of e-Way Bills (India Edition)
The validity period of an e-way bill refers to the period within which the goods must be transported. Sometimes, due to unforeseen circumstances, like natural disasters or accidents, transportation can be delayed beyond this period. In such cases, you can extend the e-way bill's validity period directly from Zoho Billing by clicking Extend e-Way Bill from the e-way bill's overview page.
Associate a Payment Form in Invoices [Mexico Edition]
The SAT has mandated that invoices must specify a payment form to indicate how the transaction will be settled for e-invoicing. You can now associate a payment form in invoices before pushing transactions to the SAT Portal. Common payment forms include cash, credit card, and bank transfer.
Payment Method Enhancements and Integrations
Integrate Zoho Payments with Zoho Billing (Early Access)
Integrate your Zoho Billing organization with Zoho Payments to receive payments from your customers via UPI (India edition), cards, net banking and ACH Direct Debit (US edition). Configuring Zoho Payments in Zoho Billing will also enable it in other Zoho Finance apps such as Zoho Invoice, Zoho Books, Zoho Commerce, Zoho Checkout and Zoho Inventory.
Klarna Payment Method via Stripe
Note: This feature is not available in the India edition of Zoho Billing.
Your customers can now pay for their invoices using Klarna through Stripe. Klarna is a global payment method, which provides flexible payment options like Pay Later, instalment payments, and more. Even if customers choose to pay in instalments or later, Stripe will transfer the full amount to the merchant instantly.
Alipay via Stripe
Enhance your customers' payment options by enabling Alipay via the Stripe Integration. Alipay is a digital wallet in China with more than a billion users worldwide, allowing you to collect payments in CNY currency from any location. Additionally, based on your Stripe account's location, you can also receive payments in AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP, HKD, JPY, SGD, MYR, NZD, and USD.
Zimbabwean Gold Currency
Zoho Billing now supports the Zimbabwean Gold Currency, which is a new gold-backed currency introduced by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. You can associate Zimbabwean Gold Currency with new and existing customers to transact in their preferred currency. You can also set the base currency of a Global edition organization as Zimbabwean Gold Currency if you do not have any existing transactions in another currency.
Integrate with WhatsApp
WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world. Integrate your Zoho Billing organization with your WhatsApp Business account to update your customers about their quotes, invoices, credit notes, and customer statements with a personalized touch.
Other Enhancements
Update Branch Address
When you update a branch's address, you can choose to update it only in new transactions or update previously created transactions as well.
Print e-Way Bill PDF (Indian Edition)
You can now print or download the e-way bill directly from Zoho Billing for Generated, Canceled, and Expired e-way bills.
Resize Columns
Customize your organization's list pages by resizing the column width according to your needs. To resize a column, hover over the column header to get a resize icon.
Export Workflow Action Logs
You can now export your workflow action logs in CSV or XLS formats. This is helpful to debug failed workflow actions. You can also filter the logs by module, status, and date range.
Bulk Export Invoices as ZIP
You can now bulk export up to 100 invoices as a Zip file for your convenience. This helps in saving time by downloading all the invoices together instead of downloading the invoices separately.
Create Multiple Templates for Customer Statements
You can now create or clone multiple customer statement templates from PDF Templates under Settings.
