Overview

Paysoft Flow takes the manual work out of EFT payments and debit order collections. Every payment transaction processed through Paysoft Flow syncs seamlessly with Xero, automatically reconciling your accounts in real time.

No double-capturing. No chasing paperwork. Just faster, more affordable payouts, cleaner books, and more time to focus on running your business.

A proud Xero App of the Year finalist in both 2024 and 2025.

Payments | Bills | Suppliers | Payroll Payments Paysoft Flow gives your business a fully automated system for EFT payment processing. Pay suppliers, staff and SARS securely using Same Day or 1-Day EFT, with every Bill settled through Flow automatically reconciled back into your connected Xero organisation. Payroll payments are equally simple. Upload directly using SimplePay or PaySpace CSV templates, or submit via API for full automation. Every payment runs through built-in Check-Digit Validation (CDV), which checks that the account number and branch code are valid against the range of account numbers allocated for that specific bank. This happens in real time before any transaction reaches the bank. Fewer returns. Fewer rejections. Lower costs.

Debit Order Collections Paysoft Flow gives your business a secure, cost-effective way to collect recurring payments. Process debit orders against all major South African bank accounts and send Digital E-Mandates directly to your Xero contacts for electronic signature, removing paper-based authorisation entirely. Before every submission, CDV checks that the account number and branch code are valid against the range of account numbers allocated for the specific bank, reducing failed collections and the admin that follows.

Paysoft Flow + Xero

Contacts: Your contacts sync two ways between Xero and Paysoft Flow. All contact information is pulled from Xero automatically. Banking details are managed separately within the Paysoft Flow environment for security and risk control. Bulk updates to contact banking details are supported, and any changes made in Paysoft Flow reflect back in Xero.

Payments: Connect a Xero organisation and use the Sync button under Payments to pull all Bills from the Awaiting Payment tab directly into Flow. Draft bills, bills awaiting approval and credit notes are not synced. Select and batch pay multiple supplier bills in a single instruction. Once approved, fund the batch to one of Paysoft's accredited bank accounts. Flow distributes funds to each supplier, sends Proof of Payment with full remittance advice, and reconciles every bill automatically in Xero. A payment file is created in your connected Xero bank account so reconciling the bank transaction takes a single click.

Collections: Create and send Digital E-Mandates to contacts synced directly from Xero. Once authorised, debit order collections run on schedule with no manual intervention required.

Paysoft Flow + Xero

Xero Integration:

Contacts:

Contacts is a 2-way sync between Xero & Paysoft Flow. Using our Sync functionality Paysoft Flow will bring in all contacts and contact information from Xero. Except Banking Details. Banking Details are controlled within the Paysoft Flow environment for security and risk purposes. Bulk Contact Banking details update feature available. Any changes made to contacts in Paysoft Flow will automatically be updated in Xero.

Payments:

When connected to a Xero Organisation and using the Xero Sync button under Payments, Paysoft Flow will bring in all the "Bills to Pay" under the Awaiting Payments Tab in Xero. No draft bills, awaiting approval bills and or credit notes will be synced.

From the Awaiting Payments Tab within Paysoft Flow you will be able to select & batch pay multiple bills from different Suppliers given that all the suppliers' banking details have been updated in Paysoft Flow.

After the batch has been approved; you must fund the instruction from your Bank Account to 1 of our Accredited & Controlled bank accounts (Beneficiary details available under Settings, Payment Details).

Once the funds are received in Paysoft Flow, Paysoft Flow will distribute the funds to all the suppliers within the batch, send Proof of Payments with a full remitance advice and automatically Reconcile all the bills from that batch in the connected Xero.

Paysoft Flow will create a Payment file from the batch payment in the connected Xero's bank account selected from the drop down when approving a payment. This allows the user to only click "OK" when reconciling the bank transaction with the created payment file.

Debit Orders:

Create & Send digital debit order mandates to contacts synced from Xero.

Reliable, efficient, and great support!

Paysoft Flow has become an essential part of our month-end process for managing debit orders and payments across our accounts. The Xero integration takes a lot of the manual admin out of reconciliation, invoices are matched automatically once payments come through, which saves us significant time and reduces the risk of errors during our billing runs. Paying our creditors has also become so much simpler. We can settle multiple invoices from different suppliers in one batch, and the automatic POP emails mean neither we nor our creditors have to chase up proof of payment afterwards. It's a small thing that makes a big difference to the overall admin load on both sides. The CDV pre-validation on bank accounts has also helped cut down on returned or rejected debit orders, and having batch reports available makes it easy to track what's succeeded and what still needs attention. What really stands out, though, is the support. Whenever we've run into sync issues or had questions ahead of a debit order run, the team has been quick to respond and genuinely helpful in resolving things. It's reassuring to know there's a responsive team behind the platform. Overall, Paysoft Flow has made our payment and collections administration far more efficient, and we'd happily recommend it to any business looking to streamline this side of their operations.

Paysoft Flow Review

We have been using Paysoft Flow for quite some time now, and we can confidently say that it has made a significant difference to the way we manage our payment administration. The support we have received has been excellent. They are always quick to assist whenever we have needed help. The app is also incredibly user-friendly and easy to navigate, making our payment and debit order administration much simpler, faster, and more efficient. We are very happy with our experience and would highly recommend Paysoft Flow to any business!

Cannot recommend more!

PaySoft Flow has tremendously helped our clients strengthen their approval processes by introducing clear workflows, accountability, and better governance across transactions. It really helped reducing risk and improving control, and limited users to having access to bank accounts. At the same time, it has created significant efficiencies through automation, faster turnaround times, and reduced manual intervention, also leading to greater accuracy. Support is always on the ball with great turnaround times and the team is always super helpful. Our clients use it for payments, whilst we internally also use it for debit orders - success all around
