Why integrate Xero with Eway?

The Xero and Eway integration makes it easier for customers to pay and easier for you to keep track of payments. Accept card payments directly from your Xero invoices, with fast settlement and automatic reconciliation helping to reduce manual admin.
When Xero is integrated with Eway’s payment gateway, payments and transaction information work together to give you greater visibility without adding extra steps to your day.
