PayPal Xero Integration

Connect PayPal to Xero so sales, fees, payouts, and refunds reconcile automatically. We build custom PayPal-Xero integrations that end spreadsheet bookkeeping and keep your accounts accurate.

Xero Integration FAQ

PayPal has a Xero feed — why build a custom integration?+

PayPal's native bank feed dumps raw transactions into Xero, but you still reconcile them by hand, and fees, refunds, and multi-currency cause mismatches. A custom integration does the matching and categorisation for you, correctly, every day.

How do you handle PayPal fees in Xero?+

PayPal fees vary by transaction type and volume. We post them as a banking fee expense with the correct split per transaction, so gross sales, fees, and net payouts all reconcile exactly.

Can you reconcile past PayPal history?+

Yes. We can backfill historical transactions into Xero, mapped to the correct periods and accounts — useful after switching accountants or cleaning up messy books.

Do you also work with Stripe alongside PayPal?+

Yes — many businesses run both. We can build a combined reconciliation pipeline that handles both payment platforms into the same Xero organisation.
