I am a heavy user of Manager.io and Singapore are implementing of the InvoiceNow, is that possible for Manager to add that feature?
It will probably need to be added as an Extension. This is how extensions work according to the Manager Chatbot:
Here’s the short version of how Extensions work in Manager today (July 3, 2026):
What extensions are
- Small, web-based add‑ons that run inside Manager to add country-specific reports, integrations (e.g., e‑invoicing), or utilities. They’re replacing the old “Localizations.” (forum.manager.io)
How you install and use them
- Open Manager and go to the Extensions screen (top-level tab added in version 26.4.17).
- Pick an extension from the list and click to install; you’ll be asked which business to install it into.
- After installation, the extension appears where it’s meant to be used (often under Reports or as its own entry), and normal tab/user permissions apply. (forum.manager.io)
Private or unlisted extensions (testing your own)
- You can still add a private extension manually via Settings > Extensions. This is useful while developing or for extensions that aren’t registered on Manager’s directory. (forum.manager.io)
Developer basics (if you want to build one)
- Extensions are web pages you host; Manager loads them and communicates with them through the new /api4 endpoints (for example, to install into a specific business). Start from the “Extend” docs and OpenAPI specs referenced by the developer post. (forum.manager.io)
Notes and context
- Extensions have matured and are now the way Manager delivers country-specific features; many reports in the Reports tab now open as extensions. (forum.manager.io)
Do they work offline?
- Manager itself works fully offline, but most extensions are hosted pages you point Manager to. Practically, that means you’ll usually need internet access for those to load unless you host the extension on a reachable local server. (This is implied by the “drop it on any static host and point Manager at the URL” model and the in‑app installation flow.) (forum.manager.io)
If you tell me which edition you’re on (Desktop, Server, or Cloud) and what you want to do (install, remove, or build an extension), I can give step‑by‑step instructions.
I’m not familiar with how InvoiceNow actually works in Singapore. Could you please explain in more detail?
-
For example, does it allow taxpayers to send invoices directly to IRAS, or must everything go through an accredited service provider?
-
If you have any official references or documentation, it would be very helpful to share them here.
If the process requires going through an accredited provider, then the best step would be to contact that provider directly.
Manager can adjust the invoice data to match what the provider needs, and this can be done through an extension. But we need to understand how the connection with the provider is supposed to work before considering such an extension.
This is from IRAS WEBSITE. I can Check with the API if necessary.
I noted the Malaysian version of invoiceNow in the extension list.
Thank you for sharing the IRAS link and the note about Malaysia.
In Singapore, invoices cannot be sent directly to IRAS. All submissions must go through the InvoiceNow (Peppol) network via an Access Point Provider accredited by IMDA.
From Manager’s perspective, an extension could be developed to connect with whichever Access Point Provider you choose, rather than directly with IRAS. So the next step would be to contact an accredited Access Point Provider to obtain their technical specifications, and then an extension can be built accordingly.
For Malaysia, the situation is different. The MyInvois Extension already exists in Manager because businesses there are allowed to connect directly to the LHDN MyInvois Portal without going through an access provider.
