Stripe

Stripe makes it easy for your customers to pay you using their credit or debit card. They can also pay online invoices with Apple Pay.

Xero treats your Stripe account like a bank account. A direct feed of data from your Stripe account into Xero makes it easy to keep track of cash in and out, and match transactions with those showing in Xero.

Here's an overview of Bank Feeds, and more information in Xero Central.

To set up your Stripe direct feed:

1. Go to Accounting > Bank accounts and click Add Bank Account

2. Select Stripe from the list, then Login & Connect Accounts.

3. Enter your Stripe email address and password then Sign On.

4. Select the appropriate account(s) and Continue.

5. Click Connect my Stripe Account and Finish.

Stripe makes it easy for customers to pay for their purchases. Add Stripe as a payment service, and include it in your invoices.

1. Click your organisation name > Settings > Payment Services

2. Next to Credit Cards click Get Started

3. Click Yes, I have an account and Sign in with Stripe to connect. Enter your Stripe username and password.(If you don't have an account, click 'I don’t have an account', then enter the email address to use for the account).

4. Select the bank account you'd like to receive payments, then click Continue.

5. Select the bank account where Stripe fees should be charged. Click Continue. (If you are setting up an account, click Activate Stripe account now then complete the steps on the Stripe website).

6. In Xero, click Done.

Stripe will automatically be added to your branding themes.

If you've set up a new Stripe account, be aware that it takes 7-10 days before you receive your first payment. You'll also need to activate your account within one week.
