Wagepoint Payroll + Xero
Wagepoint + Xero
The Wagepoint + Xero integration is designed to save time, reduce errors, and simplify the way you manage payroll and accounting. With seamless data syncing between the two platforms, you’ll have everything you need to pay your people and manage your books.
Here’s what you can expect from the integration:
Single sign-on — Use your Xero credentials to link accounts instantly. One login, two connected tools — move between payroll and accounting without friction.
Automatic sync — Payroll data flows through to Xero after every pay run: wages, deductions, benefits, taxes, and more. No manual entry. No delays.
Designed for Canada — Both platforms are built around the way Canadian businesses actually work, from CRA remittances to GST/HST tracking.
Full payroll picture — Wages, benefits, deductions, taxes, and processing fees all flow into Xero — ready for reconciliation and reporting right away.
Flexible chart of accounts mapping — Map your chart of accounts automatically, then adjust as needed. Set default overrides, map individual line items, and exclude what doesn't belong.
Detailed expense tracking — Track payroll costs by department, or go deeper with custom category mapping for more granular visibility.
Note: Manual journal exports aren't supported, making this integration unsuitable for users on the Xero Partner Edition.
