# Xero
> Connect Xero integration to automatically sync invoices, invoice statuses, and payments from Spacebring in real time, understand the key prerequisites for successful synchronization and how the integration works
Seamlessly sync all invoices and payments from Spacebring to Xero to automate revenue accounting and payment reconciliation.
Xero is a distinct company not affiliated with us. For any inquiries regarding Xero's solutions, services, or pricing, please reach out to Xero directly. We do not have the authority to provide information or support on behalf of Xero.
## Prerequisites
1. Have your Xero account ready.
2. Set up the same [tax rate](/billing/taxes/index) in Xero and Spacebring.
Invoices with unmatched tax rates will sync as drafts without status updates.
3. Make sure your Spacebring invoice currency matches your Xero account currency.
4. Set up your “Revenue” accounts in Xero for syncing **invoice items** from Spacebring.
5. [Set up a clearing account](https://central.xero.com/s/article/Reconcile-payments-received-from-online-sales-AU-UK-US-GL) in Xero for syncing **invoice payments** from Spacebring. Fill in the "Code" field for it and check the "Enable payments to this account" box.
## Connect Xero integration
1. Click the menu (...) next to the location's name > go to **Integrations**.
2. Open the **Xero** integration page and click `Connect`.
3. Grant access to your Xero organization.
4. Select the same organization in the "Organization" dropdown.
5. **Account for invoice payment sync** — select your Xero account where Spacebring should sync invoice payments.
Only accounts with 'Enable payments to this account' checked in Xero are available to select.
6. **Accounts for invoice item sync** — for each product type, select your Xero account where Spacebring should sync invoice items for this product.
Only 'Revenue' accounts are available to select.
It is required to select accounts for **all** invoice item types, even if you don't have some of these product types. Otherwise, invoice syncing to Xero will not work.
## How Xero integration works
Once the integration is connected, Spacebring syncs the following to Xero in real time:
* Newly issued invoices
* Invoice status updates
* Invoice payments
* Credit notes for unpaid invoices.
Applied balance, partial payments, credit notes for paid invoices, and refunds do not sync to Xero.
Spacebring syncs invoices for all purchase types, including subscriptions, bookings, shop orders, event tickets, and other one-time payments starting December 9, 2025. Before this date, immediate one-time payments (bookings, shop orders, event tickets, etc.) generated receipts only, which were not synced to Xero.

**FAQs**
Ensure you have granted access to the correct Xero organization and selected that same organization in the "Organization" dropdown within Spacebring. Additionally, verify that your Spacebring currency matches Xero and that you have a "Sales" account in Xero with the code `200.`
This is caused by a tax rate mismatch. When tax rates in Spacebring don't exactly match those in Xero, they are imported as drafts without status updates. Update your tax rates to match perfectly to automate this.
This happens if no "Account" is selected in your Spacebring Xero settings. While invoices sync automatically, invoice payments require you to select a clearing account in the "Account" dropdown. Also, ensure that this clearing account has **"Enable payments to this account"** enabled in Xero.
