Connecting Xero lets you push invoices, bills and purchase orders, pull payments back automatically, and keep your contacts in step — both ways.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Go to Integrations → Xero in the sidebar.

    You'll see the connection status and, once connected, your account mapping.

  2. 2
    Click Connect to Xero and authorise the organisation.

    You'll be sent to Xero to log in and pick the organisation to link.

  3. 3
    Map your sales and purchase accounts and GST rates.

    These come straight from your Xero chart of accounts so codes match.

  4. 4
    Choose how purchase orders push — as a draft bill or a native Xero PO.

    Set this once in Xero settings; you can change it later.

Additional Information

Payments made in Xero flow back to WorkshopMax automatically, and a webhook keeps things current between manual checks.

Contacts sync both ways — if you update a client's details in Xero, WorkshopMax reconciles them on the next sync.
