Zoho Billing - April 2026 Updates

Zoho Billing's April 2026 release introduces a range of updates spanning AI connectivity, payment pages, subscription quoting, accessibility, and reporting.

• Connect Zoho Billing to AI models through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), letting you create invoices, track payments, manage customers, and pull reports using plain-language prompts in tools like Claude or ChatGPT.
• Payment Links now use the same modern layout as Hosted Payment Pages, with smoother transitions, multi-language support, and the full set of Hosted Payment Page customisation options. New organisations have this enabled by default; existing organisations can request the switch via support.
• Create end-of-term quotes directly from an active subscription so customers can review the exact charges at the end of their current billing cycle, including any mid-cycle changes, before renewal.
• Create subscription quotes for item-based subscriptions, bundling price lists, billing frequency, and billing cycles into one document. When the customer accepts the quote, the subscription activates automatically.
• Configure accessibility preferences such as increased text spacing, underlined links, and strikethrough formatting on disabled buttons. Access this from your profile menu under Accessibility Preferences.
• Include your organisation's details directly in report exports. Go to Reports, click More, choose Configure Report Layout, tick Organization Details, and click the Settings icon.
• Scan barcodes to populate line items in custom tables on custom modules. Add a lookup column to your custom table, then use the Scan Item option when creating a record. This is limited to plans that support custom modules.

Availability: Subscription quotes for items and barcode scanning are limited to plans that support those features (subscription quoting and custom modules respectively).
