Melio Payments + Xero

Syncing your Melio and Xero account is very easy and takes just a few minutes.

Account payables, i.e. bills to pay, go through a two-way sync. This means that all your Awaiting Payment bills (Draft or Awaiting Approval will not be synced) and vendor details from Xero sync to Melio and your unpaid, scheduled and paid bills and vendor details from Melio sync to Xero. So you eliminate dual-data entry of bills and enjoy auto-reconcile payments.

With account receivables, i.e. invoices, the sync is from Xero to Melio. This means that invoices should be created in Xero and then synced to Melio. Once they are fully paid with a payment request, they are synced back to Xero and marked as paid in both accounts. Also, invoices that are paid outside of Melio and marked as paid in Xero will be automatically marked as paid in Melio as well.

No Xero sync

The $25 plan specifically states that it will sync with Xero, but when you go to the sync page, it isn't even an option, but they took my money anyway.

already bothered

I tried to start running Melio and have a verified and Xero linked account, and yet Xero STILL is not giving me an option to embed in invoices pushing me to other products. Xero is even enshittifying itself against its own damned acquisitions, it appears, as Melio is a Xero owned company now. What a crock.
