Hey Solmates! 

We’ve heard your requests, taken on your feedback, and turned it into action—Release 4 is packed with powerful new features just for you. Whether you’ve been asking for faster invoicing, better tax tools, or easier ways to get paid, we’ve got you covered. 

Whether it’s faster payments, simplified reporting, or just less admin, these updates are designed to save you time and make running your business a breeze. 

💡 Heads up: If you don’t have auto-updates turned on in your system preferences you’ll need to manually update to access these new features. Don’t miss out! 

 
 
🧾 Get Paid Your Way with Online Payments 

Your customers can now pay your invoices remotely with, 
AMEX, Apple Pay™, BPAY, Google Pay™, Mastercard, PayPal and Visa, or in person with Tap to Pay. 

No more chasing payments, let your customers choose how to settle—digitally or in person. 
 

What this means for you: 

  • Offer your customers choice in paying by their preferred payment method 
  • Make it easier for customers = get paid faster 
  • Every payment is tracked and matched inside Solo automatically marking invoices as paid and matching all the details in the background, so your work here is next to nothing! 

💡 Pro tip: Need help setting up Online Payments? Here's how to get started. 

 
 

⚡️ Smarter, Faster Invoicing  

You asked for it—and it’s landed. Invoicing now comes with time-saving power-ups, including the long-awaited saved items request!  

What’s new: 

  • Save your most-used invoice items and reuse them in seconds. 
  • Choose whether the total amount of your invoice appears tax inclusive or exclusive. 

Why it matters: 
Less typing. Fewer clicks. More clarity. Especially handy if you’re sending multiple invoices each week. 

💡 Want a walkthrough? Check out how to create your first saved item.

 

📆 Tax Time, Sorted 

We know tax time can be stressful. That’s why we’ve made Solo even more tax-friendly: 

New date ranges in reports 
Run reports for this week, this month, this quarter, you choose. You're in control now. 

TPAR support has landed 
If you need to report payments to contractors (Taxable Payments Annual Reporting), Solo now helps you stay ahead of it. 
You'll get gentle prompts throughout the year to keep things tidy—so EOFY isn’t a mad rush. 

Why it matters: 
More visibility. Less stress. And way less admin when it counts. 

💡 Not sure what TPAR is? Here’s a full breakdown and how-to. 
 
 

 

🧠 AI Powered Expense Categorisation 

A little bit of behind-the-scenes magic is working for you. 

Now, when you save a supplier’s name, ABN, and category, Solo remembers it. Next time you add an expense from that supplier? It’ll auto-fill the category for you.

  • Having heaps of trouble with the tax settings on invoices. Even when I save the settings to gst inclusive, new items keep defaulting to ex gst with no way to change it. I had no problem until the update and now can’t sent any of my invoices out until I get this fixed.
