What's New in Zoho Billing - May 2024

Hello everyone,

We are excited to share some exciting Zoho Billing updates in this month’s What's New forum post, ranging from enabling your customers to update their information from the Hosted Payment Pages to the option to split offline payments. Let’s take a look at each of them and see how you can implement them in your business. 

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, after completing OTP verification, they can edit the prefilled details, including name, contact number, address, and custom fields, after completing OTP verification through the multi-page hosted payment pages.

If the customer adds a new address, it will be stored under Additional Address for the customer, and will be automatically associated with the subscription.

To enable this preference, navigate to Settings > Customisation > Hosted Payment Pages. Edit or create a new multi-page template and enable the Allow customers to update their information checkbox under User Verification in the General Preferences.


Display UPI QR Code in Invoice PDFs (India)


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. 

To display UPI QR Code in PDFs:
  • Navigate to Settings.
  • Click Invoices under Preferences.
  • Scroll down and enable Invoice QR Code.
  • Select QR Code Type as UPI ID.
  • Enter your UPI ID.
Your customers can conveniently scan the QR code from their invoice PDFs using their UPI app to pay for invoices.


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. 

Note: Once you integrate with WhatsApp, you will need to buy credits to send notifications to your customers. Learn more about WhatsApp integration.


Split Offline Invoice Payment

We have introduced an option to split offline payments for your invoices into 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.


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.

The Stripe integration is available in these editions: United States, United Kindgom, Canada, Australia, Global. 


Zimbabwean Gold Currency Support 


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.
