The Solution for Xero Integration & Ecommerce Accounting

Xero Keeps the Books. Pipe17 Runs the Orders Behind Them.

Brands selling on several channels end up with an iPaaS copying sales into Xero and a legacy OMS running the orders, two records finance reconciles line by line. Pipe17’s Order Operations Platform replaces both. Each order, payment, and refund lands in Xero once, as the entry finance expects.

Automated Xero Data Flows

Pipe17 posts every order’s invoice, payment, and refund to Xero continuously, and brings the wholesale orders, items, and stock counts held in Xero into order operations. You choose which flows run and which orders they cover.
  • Push Orders to Xero as Invoices. Orders from any connected channel become Xero sales invoices carrying the customer, billing and shipping addresses, SKUs, prices, discounts, and tax, in the currency the customer paid in. Choose which channels and order statuses post, and from which date.
  • Push Payments to Xero. The amount captured at checkout is applied to its invoice. A prepaid order shows as Paid in Xero instead of awaiting payment.
  • Push Refunds to Xero as Credit Notes. Every refund becomes a Xero credit note that itemizes the goods, shipping, and tax returned to the customer.
  • Push Cancellations to Xero. A cancelled order’s unpaid Xero invoice is voided. Receivables never carry a sale that will not ship.
  • Push Products to Xero. Pipe17 creates new and changed SKUs from your catalog as Xero items. Every invoice line matches a Xero item, with sales and stock reported per SKU.
  • Push Purchase Orders to Xero. A purchase order placed in Pipe17 for restocking appears in Xero against the supplier. Finance sees each commitment before the bill arrives.
  • Push Payouts and Fees to Xero. Marketplace and payment-processor payouts post to Xero with their fees broken out. Each bank line reconciles against the sales behind it.
  • Push Inventory to Xero. Goods received, transferred, or recounted across your warehouses and 3PLs update Xero’s tracked inventory. Book value matches what sits on the shelf.
  • Pull Orders from Xero. Invoices raised directly in Xero, the wholesale and manual orders, come into Pipe17 and route to the right warehouse or 3PL like any channel order.
  • Pull Products from Xero. Xero items arrive in Pipe17 by item code. A catalog that started in Xero lines up with the SKUs your channels and warehouses use.
  • Pull Inventory from Xero. Where Xero is the stock record for a site, its on-hand counts come into Pipe17 and channels sell against them.
  • Pull Purchase Orders and Bills from Xero. Purchase orders and supplier bills raised in Xero become expected inbound stock in Pipe17. The warehouse receiving the goods and the channels selling them both see what is on the way.
  • Map Channels and Locations to Tracking Categories. Each invoice line names its sales channel, region, or fulfillment location as a Xero tracking category. Profit and loss reads by channel and region with no manual journals at month end.

Authorize Xero Once, Then Choose What Posts

Pipe17 builds and maintains the connector through every Xero API change. A single Xero sign-in authorizes the connection, and finance decides which flows run, whether invoices, payments, credit notes, or payouts.

Xero Integration FAQs

The Pipe17 Xero integration posts every order to Xero as an invoice with its payment applied, with refunds as credit notes and unpaid cancellations voided, and pulls wholesale orders, items, and stock counts from Xero into Pipe17. Orders from storefronts such as Shopify and marketplaces like Amazon run through order operations in Pipe17 before they reach Xero, and every channel posts in the same shape.

Pipe17's Shopify Xero integration connects the two systems and posts each Shopify order to Xero as a sales invoice. Payments captured at checkout are applied so prepaid orders show as Paid, and Shopify refunds post as credit notes. The same Xero connection brings in orders from BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Amazon, with no separate app per channel.

Yes, each refund posts to Xero as its own credit note, listing the items, shipping, and tax refunded. The credit note stands alone, ready to match against the Shopify or marketplace payout the refund reduced. Once Xero holds a credit note, Pipe17 never rewrites it, leaving reconciled entries exactly as finance left them, even when the order changes later.

Yes, Pipe17 posts Xero invoices as paid by applying each order's checkout payment to its invoice, whether the order came from Shopify or another channel. Prepaid ecommerce orders stop sitting in accounts receivable as awaiting payment. Payments land where you choose in Xero, such as a clearing account for a payment processor, and each one applies once, never above the amount due.

Yes, you choose which orders reach Xero by sales channel, order status, and start date. Posting only fulfilled orders matches invoices to what actually shipped. Brands moving from another Xero app set the start date to the switchover and leave invoices already in Xero untouched, with no duplicates and no approved invoice rewritten.

Yes, Xero tracks quantity and value for items set up as tracked inventory, and each invoice Pipe17 posts carries the SKU. Each posted invoice draws those counts down. Xero's count is one figure per item across the business, while stock by warehouse, 3PL, and channel lives in Pipe17's inventory visibility, which also pulls Xero's on-hand quantities into the same view.

Yes, Pipe17 pulls invoices raised in Xero, the wholesale and B2B orders, and routes them to a third-party logistics (3PL) provider such as ShipBob by the same order management rules as channel orders. Finance keeps raising wholesale invoices in Xero, and the warehouse receives them as orders without anyone forwarding a PDF or rekeying lines.

Yes, each Xero organization gets its own Pipe17 connection. A group that keeps separate organizations by country, brand, or legal entity posts every sale to the right books, and no organization receives another's channels. Every finance team works in its own Xero file, with one set of automation rules behind all of them.

Orders start posting to NetSuite instead of Xero, while the channels, warehouses, and automation rules already in Pipe17 stay exactly as they are. No commerce connection is rebuilt for the move, which comes when a business needs multi-subsidiary consolidation, advanced revenue recognition, or deeper inventory costing. Xero keeps the history it already holds, and the new books open in NetSuite.
