Frequently Asked Questions about Square + Xero integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Square and Xero
How do I set up the integration between Square and Xero?
To set up the integration, you'll need to connect both Square and Xero to our platform. Once connected, you can create a zap where you define specific triggers, like a new transaction in Square, and actions such as creating an invoice in Xero.
What triggers are available for this integration?
Our integration allows you to use triggers from Square like 'New Transaction', 'New Customer', and 'Payments Status Changed'. These can kickstart automation that results in actions within Xero.
What actions can be performed in Xero through this integration?
When using our platform to integrate with Xero, you can perform actions such as creating or updating invoices, creating bills, and updating contacts based on triggers from Square.
Can I automatically import payments from Square into Xero?
Yes, by setting up a zap with the trigger 'New Payment' from Square, we can automatically create corresponding transactions in Xero.
Is it possible to sync customer data between Square and Xero automatically?
Absolutely. By using the 'New Customer' trigger in Square, we'll ensure that your customer data is automatically added or updated in Xero without manual intervention.
How frequently does the data sync occur between the two platforms?
The frequency of data sync depends on the triggers you set. Triggers are event-driven; thus, whenever a specified event occurs (like a new sale in Square), the data will sync almost instantly with Xero.
Are there any limitations to be aware of when integrating Square with Xero?
While integrating provides many automations, complex financial workflows might require additional customization. We recommend reviewing both platforms for specific limitations regarding transaction volume or field mappings.
