Seamless Invoice Conversion
Seamless Invoice Conversion: Automate backend data mapping so paid upfront deposits cleanly credit final invoices without requiring manual journal entries or unlinking transactions.
Milestone & Progress Invoicing: Enable multi-stage deposit schedules (e.g., 20% upfront, 30% midpoint, 50% upon completion) directly within a single estimate.
Simplified Accounting & Tax Tracking: Provide a dedicated dashboard widget to distinguish Unearned Deposits (Liability) from Realized Revenue, complete with state-compliant sales tax settings for advance payments.
Automated Deposit Reminders: Allow automated email follow-ups for approved estimates awaiting deposit, alongside expanded payment options like Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL).

These would be valuable improvements, especially the support for milestone invoicing and automated deposit allocation. Reducing manual reconciliation while keeping accounting and tax tracking accurate would save businesses a significant amount of time and help minimise errors.

This is a great suggestion. One of the things I appreciate about QuickBooks is that it continues to evolve based on real business needs, and features like these would make Invoice Checkout even more valuable. Automated deposit allocation, milestone invoicing, and smarter payment tracking would save businesses a lot of manual work while improving accuracy. I'd also love to see a complete payment timeline that clearly shows deposits, outstanding balances, and payment history in one place. These kinds of enhancements would make an already useful invoicing experience even better.
