Convenience Fees
I use Zoho Invoice for invoicing my billboard customers. I have a few customers that want to pay using credit cards and ACH. As a result, I have integrated an Online Payment Gateway (Stripe) for these customers. I currently charge these customers a "Convenience Fee" of 3% for using this service as I typically only take checks as payment (and the gateway charges 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction). I do this by creating a separate line item on the invoice and adding 3% to it. I would like to offer
Stripe integration questions
Hi, I am just integrating Stripe with Zoho Invoice so I haven't tested it yet. When a client clicks the link to pay online within the email, I assume the %InvoiceURL% goes to something that is connected to Stripe? Stripe offers ACH as of January 2016. When clicking the same pay online link, is the ACH option there along with the various credit cards that Stripe accepts? Thanks, Helen

Invoice API Feature: method for "updated since date"
In my application and, I would think, in those of most other developers, I the developer have no use for getting all of the invoices (or customers or items or payments made, etc.) after the first time. Too much data exchange. Just give me what has changed since I last checked. I suggest creating a GET method something like https://invoice.zoho.com/api/[invoices]/modified-after/ where one of the parameters is a time stamp string (i.e. yyyy-mm-dd hh:ii:ss). The response would list all [invoiced] modified

Track Time In Zoho Projects or Invoices?
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but Zoho Invoices doesn't sync time sheets with Projects, does it? That is to say, if I track some time in Projects I can't see those entries within "Time Tracking" in Invoices. And if I track some time in Invoices those entries aren't available to me within Projects. Is this correct?
Time Tracking
I'm wondering if there's any 3rd party timers that would work with Zoho invoice. I find the zoho chrome timer to really be lacking. I'm always forgetting to stop it because it gets lost in all of my other windows. Even a solution like zapier or iftt might be good, but I can't figure out the best way to handle this.
Logging time within Time Tracking
At the moment I use the call logging feature of CRM to log time spent on clients work. Its nice to be able to start, stop and pause the timer and record how many hours I need to bill the client. Any chance of implementing this in Zoho Invoice's time tracking feature The same interface as CRM would be great or a simple start/stop/pause/restart timer.
