What is a Magento–Xero integration?
A Magento–Xero integration keeps your store's financial records in sync with your accounting software automatically: when an order is invoiced, paid, or refunded in Magento, the matching invoice, payment, or credit note appears in Xero without anyone re-keying it. The usual alternatives — exporting CSVs and pasting them in, or wiring up a generic automation tool — break the moment your data or either platform's API changes.
Byte8's Xero connector is a hosted SaaS chassis plus a thin Magento module. The module publishes events to Byte8 over a JWT-signed HTTPS channel; Byte8 holds the Xero OAuth tokens, runs the queues, and pushes each record into Xero — mapped to the right ledger account and tax rate from a live cache of your Xero chart of accounts. Every event becomes an auditable sync run with one-click retry, and the terminal status is mirrored back into your Magento order grids so your accountant sees Xero status without leaving Magento. Nothing to host, and no Xero credentials on your store.
Pair in three steps, no servers to run
Install the thin Magento module, generate a single-use pairing code from the Magento admin, then authorise Xero from the Byte8 Ledger dashboard. The OAuth tokens, JWT keys, queues and reference cache all live on Byte8 — your Magento store only ships events.
Tune sync behaviour from a single page
Per-binding controls for sync behaviour, payment-method routing, and Xero defaults — revenue account, tax type, payment terms. Every dropdown is fed by a live cache of your Xero chart of accounts and tax rates, so reconciliation is clean from the first invoice.
Every event audited, retryable, mirrored back to Magento
Every Magento event becomes a sync_run with a status, attempt count, and the resulting Xero ID (e.g. INV-0067). Skipped and failed runs are filterable and one-click retryable. Terminal status is mirrored back to your Magento admin grids so accountants see Xero status without leaving Magento.
Native connector vs Zapier / iPaaS vs manual export
There are three common ways to get Magento orders into Xero: a native, hosted connector like Byte8; a generic automation platform (Zapier or another iPaaS) you wire up per flow; or exporting CSVs and re-keying them by hand. Here's how they compare on the things that actually cost an accountant time.

60 seconds to live sync
Install the thin Magento module, connect your Xero organisation from app.byte8.io, and the first profile starts syncing within the minute. We host the workers, manage the OAuth refresh, and surface every retry.
