We all prefer work to be streamlined and simplified, but businesses today use dozens of digital tools and services. Ranging from apps that help address your business and industry pain points to payment providers and accounting software, there are a number of solutions that can help business owners access critical information or improve their workflows.

But when used in isolation, they often cause disjointed collaboration and manual rework. We believe in making life easier for the small businesses, accountants and bookkeepers we support by simplifying everyday financial tasks, saving them precious time.

That’s why we’re working with Stripe, a leading financial infrastructure platform, to create a seamless, integrated experience through the Xero Stripe App in the new Stripe App Marketplace.

The Xero Stripe App

Small businesses who are using Stripe with Xero can now easily compare records, data and information from Xero in their Stripe dashboard – through the Xero Stripe App.

The key benefits of the Xero Stripe App include:

Get an overview of your business: Customers will be able to view key Xero dashboard data, giving a 360 view of their business when navigating the Stripe dashboard. By automating the flow of payment data between Stripe and Xero in one central view, you can manage your finances and track bank balances, invoices and bills without switching between systems.

Monitor your cash flow: Within Stripe, you can easily see overdue and unpaid invoice totals and bank account totals from your Xero account so you can effectively manage cash flow. For a given contact, you’ll see the latest five individual overdue and unpaid invoices, as well as overdue and unpaid invoice totals.

View your Xero contacts: With the new Xero Stripe App, you’ll be able to search customer contact information stored in Xero without leaving Stripe, giving you a complete view of your customer. You can automatically find contact information for your Stripe customers through the Xero Stripe App to reduce time spent looking this up somewhere else.

We’re launching as one of the first apps in the new Stripe App Marketplace, and can’t wait to hear what you think. The Xero Stripe App will become available to install in the coming weeks on the Stripe App Marketplace.
