    How to recommend apps to your clients

    Easily recommend the right apps for your clients' challenges or areas for growth directly within the Xero App Store, and see them automatically surfaced to your client.

    1. Login to your clients' organisation and head to the Xero App Store

    As long as you have an advisor role in your client’s Xero account you’ll be able to recommend apps to them via the Xero App Store.

    2. Choose the app you want to recommend and do a one-click recommendation

    Once you’re in the Xero App Store, simply navigate to the app listing you want to recommend. You’ll see the ‘Recommend to your client’ section right at the top of the listing page, click the switch to toggle on the recommendation. It’s that easy.

    3. Your recommended apps are surfaced to your client

    Straight away, your recommended apps will be added to your client’s own ‘Advisor recommended apps’ collection. They can access this collection either at the top of the Xero App Store homepage when they're logged in and through their ‘My apps’ navigation drop down. 

    From there, they can easily see every app you’ve recommended and can get started trialling and connecting apps, or just read more about the apps you’ve suggested.

    If a client connects to one of the apps you have recommended, it'll no longer show in this collection, but will show in the ‘Connected apps’ section under their ‘My apps’ drop down.

    4. Easily manage your recommendations

    Want to change the apps you’ve recommended or add to the list?

    You can access your ‘Advisor recommended apps’ collection any time you’re logged in to your relevant client’s Xero account. Simply navigate to the Xero App Store and look at the ‘Recommended to your client’ collection at the top of your homepage and click ‘See all’, or find them under the ‘My Apps’ navigation drop down. 

    Once in that collection page you can ‘Remove’ your recommendation in a single click, or you can go into the app listing and toggle your recommendation off, and have it updated for your clients’ immediately.
