Invoice Emails No Longer Show Due Date

Customers have complained that the new invoice email format does not show the invoice due date. This is a terrible formatting change and customers are asking that it go back to the old version which clearly stated the invoice balance, due date, and if it was past due.

 

We also can't change the first line of the email from saying "Your invoice is ready!" which is very annoying since that sounds completely unprofessional and is absolutely NOT what our company wrote as the email message. Thankfully that was the last straw for our team to unsubscribe from QBO. 

 

In the meantime we still need to get paid for pending invoices and the emails no longer showing the customers the due date or if their invoice is past due is stalling our AR processes. Please fix the invoice emails ASAP

Invoice Emails No Longer Show Due Date

Thank you for bringing the changes to customer emailed invoices to our attention, @PBJ10. The missing due date in the invoice email can occur if the custom form style is set to hide the due date or if the invoice template was switched to one from your custom form styles list that excludes the due date.
 

To confirm this, you can review the design applied to the invoice. Here’s how:
 

  1. From the Invoices list, click View/Edit.
  2. Click Manage on the upper right and then select Design.


     

If the invoice uses a custom template, click the Add/Edit button under the Design’s Other templates section. From the Custom form styles list, you can either click Edit or set another invoice template as the default by clicking the dropdown beside Edit and choosing Make default.
 

If you click the Edit button, navigate to the Content tab, click the first Pencil icon of the invoice template, tick the Due date box under Display, and then hit Done. This will ensure the customer's due date appears on future invoices sent using the same template.


 

Please note that in the Invoice’s Design section, the Modern template includes the due date in the body of the invoice message, such as 'Payment for this invoice is due on 9-20-2025.' While we’re unable to customize the 'Your invoice is ready!' text in the customer’s email, we truly value your feedback. Rest assured, our developers carefully consider customer suggestions and assess changes after gathering enough input and conducting thorough tests. You can also send them direct product feedback by following the steps in this article: Give feedback on QuickBooks products and services.
 

If you’ve already confirmed these settings, but the due date is still missing from the customer’s invoice email, I recommend reaching out to our Live Support team for further assistance in reviewing your account and resolving this issue promptly.
 

Please let us know if you need more help.

Invoice Emails No Longer Show Due Date

@Jovychris_A this solution doesn't seem to be an option for "Standard" template invoices. The only design options for how the invoice appears in emails are "Full details" and "Summarized details" and the due date no longer appears in the email body for either one.
