Xero Invoices Payment

Integrate HitPay payment gateway into your Xero Invoices

Overview

This section elaborates on how you can integrate HitPay payments into your Xero invoices. With this integration, your customers can pay your Xero invoices using HitPay payment methods like PayNow, Credit Card, etc. To get started, make sure you have the following:

1. Fully verified HitPay account.
2. Make sure the payment methods you want to offer are enabled in your HitPay account.

Integration Guide

Follow these steps to seamlessly integrate HitPay payments into your Xero Invoice:

1. Log in to your Xero Dashboard, navigate to Accounting > Chart of Accounts > Add Account, and enable the option “Enable payments to this account”.

   

2. Log in to your HitPay Dashboard, go to Others > Integrations, and click the Xero (Payment Gateway) card under the Payments section.

3. Click the Connect to Xero button. This will navigate you to the Xero Login screen. Enter your Xero credentials, select your organisation, and continue.

4. After you authorise, you are returned to the HitPay dashboard with a “Successfully authorized” confirmation — your Xero connection is now active.

5. Next, set up the payment integration. Go to the Integrations page, switch to the Available tab, and select Xero (Payment Gateway):

   
   • Payment methods: choose the payment methods you want to offer on your Xero invoices
   • Click Create

That’s it! Your Xero invoices can now be paid using HitPay payment methods 🎉 Your customers will see a payment button (e.g. “PayNow”) on your Xero online invoices:

You can customise the payment button label in your Xero sync settings (the Xero PayNow button text field). See Xero Sync settings.

Please note: There will be a 0.2% surcharge in the fees when payments are processed using this plugin, in addition to the existing pricing.

Feed Sales Data to Xero

The same Xero connection can also feed your HitPay sales, fees, and refund data into Xero automatically once a day — including a HitPay Clearing Account (created when you first save your sync settings) and a daily settlement transfer to your bank account for easy reconciliation.

See Xero Sync for the full setup and configuration guide.

Payments made on Xero invoices through this plugin are reconciled against the invoice itself, so the sales feed intentionally excludes them — no double counting.

FAQs

Does HitPay send an email after the Xero invoice is paid?

No — HitPay does not send an email confirmation to your customer when the payment is made through Xero. Xero handles invoice communication.

Why don't I see Apple Pay or Google Pay on my checkout page?

On the HitPay checkout page, you will see the option for Apple Pay/Google Pay only once you select CARDS as the payment method. Additionally, it will work only if the browser supports the respective method:

• Apple Pay: Only available on the Safari browser. Ensure you have Apple Pay enabled. Here's a guide from Apple on how to enable Apple Pay on your browser.
• Google Pay: Only available on the Chrome browser. Ensure you have Google Pay enabled on your Google account.

I set up a payment method, but it's not reflecting on my checkout page. Why?

Here are two checks you can perform to ensure the payment method is visible on your checkout page:

1. Navigate to Payment Gateway > Integrations. Ensure that your payment method is enabled for your respective sales channel.
2. If you have checkout rules, navigate to Payment Gateway > Checkout Customization > Payment Method Rules and ensure your payment method is selected.
