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.
Getting started
Syncing Melio and Xero saves time and eliminates double data entry. After you've completed a payment or gotten paid using Melio, your Xero account is automatically updated with all relevant details.
Connecting Xero from your Melio account: Sign in to your Melio account Click Settings on the left sidebar Click Accounting Software Sync In the details section under Xero, click Connect Click Allow access to let Melio use your Xero profile information Confirm your company name That’s it—your accounts are connected.
At the top left corner of the dashboard, next to the account name, you’ll see the sync icon that indicates that the sync is successful. When you hover over it, you will see when the last sync happened. Clicking this icon will manually sync the two accounts.
Another way to confirm the sync and manually sync the accounts is in Settings under Accounting Software Sync.
