cellbot sends VAT-inclusive pricing data to Xero using the correct UK tax rates. Making Tax Digital compliance is straightforward.

Multi-Currency Support

Serving international customers? Xero handles currency conversion automatically using cellbot transaction data.

Supported

Supported Integration

cellbot connects to Xero via webhooks and API. The integration is fully supported and maintained by the cellbot team.

Good to know

  • Xero API rate limits allow 60 requests per minute per connection — high-volume shops syncing hundreds of invoices daily may experience brief queuing.
  • Bank reconciliation requires Stripe payments to appear in your Xero bank feed first, which depends on your bank's feed update frequency.
  • The Xero OAuth token must be refreshed every 30 minutes — cellbot handles this automatically, but a prolonged server outage may require re-authorisation.
  • Only Xero's Accounting API is used — Xero Payroll and Xero Projects data are not synced.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does cellbot handle VAT automatically?
Yes. cellbot sends VAT-inclusive pricing data to Xero using the UK standard rate (currently 20%). You can override the rate per service category if needed.
