How to sync Xero with your Melio account

  • Updated

Syncing Melio and Xero saves time and eliminates double data entry. After you've completed a bill payment in Melio, your Xero account is automatically updated with the payment details.

 

Is the sync with Xero available to all subscription plans?

Core and Boost subscribers enjoy unlimited sync between their Melio and Xero accounts. Once you send or receive a payment through Melio, the status will also be updated in your accounting software for seamless reconciliation. 

 

Go subscribers can sync only the first 10 payments between their Melio and Xero accounts. Whether these payments are synced from Xero to Melio or vice versa, and whether they are payables or receivables, only 10 payments will be balanced between both accounts. 

After this limit is reached, payments made in Melio will not sync to Xero, and pending payment bills from Xero will not sync to Melio.

Need all your payments synced between Xero and Melio? Upgrade to the Core or Boost plans.
