Frequently Asked Questions

Is Xero still a good choice for Malaysian e-invoicing?

Xero remains a recognised option for Malaysian businesses. It is LHDN-certified and has an established user base. Whether it is the right fit depends on your team size, invoice volume, and preference for cloud vs on-premise deployment. This page exists to help you weigh the alternatives — not to dismiss Xero as a choice.

What is the easiest Xero alternative to switch to?

For most Malaysian SMEs, the easiest switch from Xero is a cloud-based platform with a free trial and built-in MyInvois support. QuickBooks is frequently cited as a smooth transition option — it typically involves exporting your chart of accounts and open invoices, then importing them into the new platform.

Will switching e-invoicing software affect my MyInvois records?

Your MyInvois records are stored on LHDN servers and are not affected by changing your accounting software. Invoices already validated and assigned a UUID remain valid regardless of which platform you switch to. You will need to configure your new software to connect to MyInvois via API or Peppol, but historical records remain intact on the LHDN portal.
