Sneak Peek for 2026 👀
1 MIN READ Hey Solmates! Consider this your early access pass: a sneak peek at the invoicing upgrades landing in 2026. You asked for faster, clearer, less repetitive invoicing — so we’re building three new features to make that happen. Clear invoice discounts — Add discounts to invoices in a way that shows the original amount and the savings. Transparent, tidy, and a perfect match for the way you actually work. Saved invoice notes — Payment terms, project blurbs, disclaimers… if you type it often, you can save it as a reusable note and drop it in with a tap. Your future self will thank you (and your fingers definitely will). Copy invoice — Copy an old invoice, tweak what’s changed (notes, hours, customer) and send. No rebuilding from scratch, no accidental typos, no “didn’t I already write this?” déjà vu. These updates are coming soon, and are designed to help save time, cut the admin grind, and keep your invoicing running smoothly. Keep an eye out - we’ll share more details as each update goes live. And this is just the start — we’ve got a whole stack of new features and enhancements lined up for 2026 that we can’t wait to roll out. In the meantime, got ideas? Wishlists? Pet-peeves? Drop them here in the Community — it helps us keep shaping Solo around what you need most.✅ Updates to your Solo billing and My Account
1 MIN READ Hey Solmates! We’re rolling out a few improvements to make bills simpler and managing your Solo account a whole lot easier. Here’s what’s changing and what to expect. What’s changing Payment processing via Stripe. We’re partnering with Stripe to handle automatic recurring payments for your Solo subscription. There’s nothing you need to do — we’ll use the same credit card or bank account to deduct payments automatically. You may receive a confirmation email from Stripe when this is set up. All your account info in one place. We’ve added more functionality to My Account, so it’s the single place to manage your Solo account details — update contacts, manage your subscription, update business details, and handle billing information. Bills move to My Account. Once your account is moved, we’ll say goodbye to emailed PDF invoices. You’ll be able to view current and past bills and download a PDF copy directly from My Account. A brief maintenance window. As we roll out these improvements, there will be a short overnight downtime during the migration where you won’t be able to access Solo or My Account. You can keep an eye on any scheduled maintenance at status.myob.com. We’ll keep this thread updated We’ll add any important updates and dates here as we go, so feel free to bookmark this post and check back for the latest.GST Just Got an Upgrade
1 MIN READ Hi Solmates! A new Solo feature has just been released. Make sure you’re on the latest version to give the new feature a spin 🚀 You might’ve spotted a little teaser from us on the “Share Your Ideas” board about some shiny new updates to how Solmates manage GST settings in Solo. Well… the wait is over. We’ve been testing these new features with a small number of Solmates, and now we’re very excited to confirm it’s showtime! As of today (Monday 17 November), you’ll now be able to choose whether GST is included in your item price, or added on top. The old setup When we launched saved items earlier this year, they were limited to being entered as GST exclusive. What’s new and improved Now, you’ll be able to mix and match your item pricing as you prefer, and these prices will carry forward to the invoice and display using your Include GST/Add GST preference! Just a quick heads-up: invoices follow whatever GST preference you’ve set at the moment you create them. So if you jump into an invoice before updating your GST settings, you’ll need to adjust it yourself or start a new one once your preference is set. Come learn how it works Keep an eye out for a fresh post on our Learn board, it’s a full walkthrough with step-by-step examples, whether you’re brand-new to Solo (or GST!) or already rocking saved items. We also have our full Help articles available here.🛠️ Upcoming maintenance to the ABN Lookup Service
1 MIN READ Heads up, Solmates: the Australian Government's ABN Lookup service is clocking off for a bit of scheduled maintenance from Friday 7 November 9:00 PM to Monday 10 November 8:00 AM (AEST). That means any Solo feature that checks or verifies your ABN might not play nice during that window. While applying for Tap to Pay, for example, you could run into this misleading error message: “ABN not found. Check that the ABN was entered correctly and try again.” So before you triple-check your typing and spiral into existential doubt, just know that it’s not you, it’s them. If your ABN’s valid and everything looks right, sit tight and try again once they’re back online. In the meantime, feel free to visit the official page here for the outage announcement: 📣 abr.business.gov.au We’ll let you know if anything changes, but otherwise, things should be back to normal after Monday at 8am (AEDT).
