The price at the top of this page, and its plans where it has them, show what Xero costs, and the install screen shows the price again before you confirm. If Xero is paid, it is charged to a card saved in your Orbit dashboard and appears in Plan & Billing. Prices exclude VAT.

Can I try Xero before I pay?

If Xero is free, or has a free plan, you can install it without paying. Where it offers a free trial, the trial length is shown with its price on this page: installing it for the first time starts the trial with no card needed, and you are only charged if you subscribe, never before the trial ends. Otherwise its price applies from the day you subscribe.

What happens if I uninstall Xero?

It comes off your store and loses its access straight away. If you pay a subscription for Xero, it is cancelled at the end of the period you have paid for and does not renew. Its settings and the data it kept in Orbit are kept for 30 days, and come back if you reinstall it within that time.

About

Send every paid order to Xero as a sales invoice with its payment, and every refund as a credit note. Map accounts and VAT rates once and reconcile from a clearing account. Stripe payouts are posted as bank transfers with gateway and platform fees split onto their own expense accounts, and the plugin emails you if a payout does not reconcile or the Xero connection breaks.

What you get

Paid orders become Xero sales invoices with payments
Refunds become credit notes allocated to the invoice
Account and VAT rate mapping from your Xero organisation
Backfill from any date and a daily missed-order check
Stripe payouts posted as bank transfers with fees split out

What it can see and change

When you install Xero, it asks to:

Read only

See your orders, with their totals and status
See one order in full, including the buyer and delivery address
See the list of customers who have shopped with you
See one customer in full, including their contact details and past orders
See the settings it saves for your store, and your store's name, primary domain and live custom domains, storefront URL, currencies and timezone, and the site verification codes on your storefront
See which other systems your store is set up to send events to
See whether those systems are receiving what you send them, and what went wrong when they did not
See its plans and your current subscription to it
See when Stripe pays you out, with the amounts
See which orders and fees are inside each payout

Can make changes

Start sending your store events, including orders with customer names and addresses, to another system on the internet
Stop sending events to another system; this cannot be undone and the connection has to be set up again from scratch
Start a plan change that you confirm in the payment window
Send email through your store's verified sender

Uninstalling removes its access.
