Software and systems
Xero integration for the systems you already use.
If someone copies sales, invoices or payments into Xero by hand, there is usually a way to stop. Sometimes an app does it. When it does not, we build a connector.

Signs Xero needs joining up
- Someone spends hours each week typing sales, invoices or payments into Xero.
- Payouts arrive as one lump in the bank, and reconciling them takes days.
- An app from the Xero App Store gets you most of the way, but not all of it.
- Customer details differ between Xero and the system your team works in.
- Three or four tools each have their own partial link to Xero.
- A connection stopped working months ago, and nobody noticed until the accountant asked.
What you get
Passed across, not retyped
Invoices, payments, contacts and items move between Xero and your other systems on their own.
Your rules
Which account codes, tax rates and tracking categories each entry uses, set the way your accountant wants.
Told when it fails
If Xero rejects something or the other system is down, it is logged and someone is told, instead of leaving a quiet gap.
A record of what moved
What was sent, when, and what Xero did with it, so any query can be traced.
More than two systems
A shop, a payment provider, a CRM and a booking system can all feed one Xero organisation.
Looked after
When Xero or the other system changes, we update the connector.
How it works
A short paid review
We look at your Xero setup, the systems around it and any apps you already use, and tell you whether an app will do or a connector is worth building.
A fixed price for the build
You get the scope and a fixed price in writing. If you go ahead, what you paid for the review counts towards it.
Built in stages, tested first
We test against Xero's demo company, then run it beside your usual process until the figures match.
Support afterwards
We host it, watch it and update it when something changes, with an agreed amount of small changes each month.
Systems we have joined up
We have not published a Xero connector case study yet. The closest real work is below: one system driving another on its own, and card payments taken inside software we built.
Common Xero connections
- ConnectionStripe and XeroEach payout split into sales, fees and refunds, so the bank line reconciles.
- ConnectionShopify and XeroOrders, payouts and stock kept in step with your accounts.
- ConnectionHubSpot and XeroA won deal becomes an invoice, and a customer is the same customer in both.
Using something else? Most systems that let other software read and write their data can be joined to Xero. Ask, and the review tells you.
Questions
What software integrates with Xero?
A great many products: payment providers, shops, CRMs, payroll and more, listed in the Xero App Store. When the one you use is not there, or the app does not do enough, a connector can be built on Xero's API.
Should I use an app or have a connector built?
Try the app first if one exists for your system. A built connector makes sense when you have your own rules, more than two systems, a case the app does not handle, or you need to be told when it fails.
How can I connect Xero to Excel?
Xero exports its reports to Excel. If you need the figures refreshed without exporting by hand, we can pull them from Xero into a spreadsheet or a dashboard.
Does HMRC recognise Xero?
Yes, Xero is recognised by HMRC for Making Tax Digital. A connector only feeds Xero; your returns are still filed from Xero as they are now.
How much does a Xero integration cost?
It depends on the systems, the volume and your rules. We quote a fixed price in writing after the review. Depending on how the connection is made, Xero may charge for access to its API, and the review tells you if so.
Will our accountant still work the same way?
Yes. Nothing changes in how your accountant uses Xero. We agree the account codes and tax rates with them before anything goes live.
Typing things into Xero by hand?
Tell us what you need. We reply by the next working day with a fixed price in writing.
