Why integrate Xero with Eway?
Late payments and manual admin can put unnecessary pressure on cash flow. A Xero payment integration helps simplify both payments and accounting, so you can spend less time chasing invoices and more time running your business.
The Xero and Eway integration is designed to speed up receivables and reduce late payments by making it easier for customers to pay and easier for you to track funds. It enables fast settlement, automatic reconciliation and lets you start accepting credit card payments directly from your Xero invoices.
When Xero’s accounting software is integrated with Eway’s payment gateway, you always know exactly what your customers are up to and where your money is at, without extra manual work.

How does Xero + Eway work?
Combine the powers of Eway and Xero to reduce your receivables days and get paid faster. Eway’s Xero features include Eway PayThis, an easier way to get paid faster, and the Xero-Eway Bank Feed, making reconciliation easier than ever before.
How does Eway PayThis let customers pay Xero invoices online with one click?
Eway’s PayThis add-on for Xero makes it easier for your customer to pay you – with just one click!
- Your customers can pay using any device, anytime and anywhere, using all major credit cards, as well as digital wallets and Click to Pay once enabled.
- With Eway PayThis, you can set and pass on credit card surcharging to your customers, or choose to absorb them.
- As soon as your customer receives their invoice, all they need to do is reach for their credit card and pay. It’s as simple as that.
- Once integrated, you add the Eway PayThis Button to your invoice, and the technology does the rest.
- After the payment has been confirmed, Eway processes the transaction and settles the funds to your account.
How does credit card surcharging work with Eway PayThis in Xero?
If you choose to apply a credit card surcharge, this can be set up directly within PayThis. You can decide whether the surcharge is passed on to customers or absorbed as part of your costs.
Once configured in the Eway portal, surcharges are automatically applied during the payment process and reflected in the transaction data that flows back into Xero. This keeps payment records consistent and reduces the need for manual adjustments when reconciling invoices and settlements.
What does the payment experience look like for your customers?
From your customer’s perspective, paying an invoice is straightforward and familiar. With Eway PayThis, customers can pay Xero invoices online directly, without needing to log into separate portals or request payment details.
Payment can be completed directly from the invoice using familiar payment methods across devices and locations. By removing unnecessary steps, it’s easy for customers to pay promptly, reducing delays caused by friction or uncertainty.

How easy is it to manage Xero payments once everything is set up?
Once the integration is set up, payments and reconciliation are designed to run quietly in the background. Invoices, payments and transaction data continue to flow through Xero without manual intervention.
Because payments are automatically recorded and matched, there’s less day-to-day oversight required. You can check payment status at a glance, rely on consistent transaction data and spend less time monitoring processes that are already working as expected.
