Our accounting integration with Xero also lets your customers pay their invoices on your Members Portal and the Passport app or its white-label equivalent using a payment provider set up in your Xero account.
Step 1. Setting up a payment service in your Xero account
You need at least one payment service fully set up in your Xero account to use allow customers to pay for their invoices using Xero. Payment services are just payment providers that you can connect to Xero.
If you haven't set up a payment service in your Xero account, we recommend you follow Xero's tutorial on how to Set up payment service with Xero.
You can pick any of the payment services supported by Xero and set up more than one in your account. Once you have your payment service set up in Xero, all you need to do is make sure your Xero integration is enabled and set up correctly.
