Integrate BigCommerce with Xero

Introduction:

BigCommerce is a cloud-based ecommerce platform that offers merchants and retail websites to market their products and services online. With BigCommerce, you can sell your products on major online channels including Amazon, eBay, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Houzz, Magento, Shopify, and more.

In fact, BigCommerce has more than 400 integrated sales channels.

While Xero is cloud-based accounting software for small businesses. Xero allows users to manage financial transactions and control their business from anywhere. You can also view your business data in real-time.

Xero integrates with major payment processors such as Stripe, PayPal, and Paymate.

Now that we have covered what BigCommerce and Xero are, let’s get started with the main topic.

Integration of BigCommerce and Xero:

BigCommerce and Xero are registered under the same parent company called Xero Limited. They are both cloud-based platforms that offer businesses a variety of tools for running their business efficiently and effectively.

In order to integrate BigCommerce and Xero, two things must be done:

First, you need to create an account in both BigCommerce and Xero. When you create an account in BigCommerce, you will be asked to link up your existing shop if you already have one or create a new one if you don’t have one yet. After creating your BigCommerce shop, you can link it up with Xero by following the steps below:

· On the “Billing” page of your BigCommerce dashboard, click on “Link Accounts” under the “Subscriptions” header.

· Select “Invoice and Payment Integrations” option.

· Click on the green button “Connect to Xero”.

· Click on the green button “Select” next to “Xero”.

· Enter your login credentials for Xero and click on “Login”.

· Click on the green button “Link Account”.

After linking your Xero account with BigCommerce, all your sales will be synced with Xero automatically. This way you can save time in manually entering information from your orders into Xero which is tedious and time consuming.

Benefits of Integration:

• If your store sells physical products, you can use the stock management feature of BigCommerce to keep track of your inventory and warns you when it is running low. This way you will avoid running out of stock and losing customers. Moreover, you can forget about running around different suppliers to get your products because when you run out of stock, BigCommerce will automatically place a new order for you with your supplier. It saves so much time and energy!
• Integration of BigCommerce and Xero allows you to access customer data in both platforms making it easier for you to manage customers throughout your sales process from lead generation to customer service. Customer data includes customer email addresses, phone numbers, names, purchase history, etc. This way you don’t have to manually enter customer data from sales orders onto Xero which is tedious and time consuming. Also, when there are any changes in customer data (i.e., if a new phone number is added), this change will reflect in both BigCommerce and Xero saving you time from entering the new information manually in both platforms again!
