Payments integration

Stripe and Xero Integration

Stripe can support payment collection on Xero invoices as well as broader ecommerce and subscription activity. Those are different workflows and may require different connections.

Last reviewed 3 August 2026. Integration features can change; confirm current details before implementation.

What can move between the systems

Exact coverage depends on the app or middleware selected. A connection commonly needs to account for the following records.

  • Invoice payments
  • Processing fees
  • Refunds and disputes
  • Payout deposits

Common issues to check

Mixing invoice payments with storefront sales
Fees posted to the wrong period
Multiple Stripe accounts

Choosing a connection method

Compare a direct marketplace app with specialist middleware and any connector already used elsewhere in the client’s stack. Prefer the simplest option that covers the required records, preserves an audit trail, and gives the bookkeeping team a clear way to resolve failures.
