Papaya + Xero

Connect Papaya to Xero and your day closes itself into the books. Sales, tax and settled payouts post to Xero as reconciled journals — split by outlet and tax code — so your bookkeeper stops re-keying Z-reports and month-end stops being a spreadsheet.

How it works

Three steps from disconnected to in sync.

No middleware to host, no CSV exports. Authorize once and Papaya does the matching, then keeps both sides current on its own.

01

Connect Xero

Open Integrations in Papaya, choose Xero, and authorize. The handshake runs over Xero's official API — no CSV exports, no accountant copying figures across.

02

Map accounts & tax

Match your Papaya sales categories, tax codes and outlets to the right Xero accounts once. Papaya remembers the mapping and applies it to every day going forward.

03

Books post themselves

At close, the day's sales, tax and settled payouts post to Xero as a reconciled journal — so the books are current every morning, not at month-end.

What you get

One source of truth for every channel.

Every day's sales, tax and payouts land in Xero as a clean journal, split by outlet and tax code. Papaya matches settled takings to the bank, so your books reconcile themselves and your accountant stops chasing Z-reports.

Xero questions

Good to know.

Everything teams ask before they wire up Xero with Papaya.

Xero is an accounting platform restaurants keep their books in. Papaya connects to it and posts each day's sales, tax and settled payouts as a reconciled journal, so figures land in Xero automatically instead of being re-keyed off a Z-report.
Setup is a one-time mapping. You match your sales categories, tax codes and outlets to the right Xero accounts once; after that every day posts on its own.
The Xero connection is available on Papaya's Growth and Scale plans. See pricing for the full breakdown, or talk to sales about multi-outlet rollouts.
Yes. VAT and service charge are posted to the tax codes you map, split by outlet, so the numbers in Xero are return-ready rather than a lump sum to unpick.
They are. Settled card, QR and wallet takings are matched to the bank first, so what posts to Xero already ties out — month-end becomes a review, not a rebuild.

Close the books every night.
