cellbot + Xero
Built for UK repair shops — sync invoices to Xero, reconcile bank transactions, and file VAT returns without lifting a finger.
What Xero enables in cellbot
Here's what you get when you connect Xero to your repair shop.
Invoice Sync
Completed repairs create Xero invoices automatically. Line items, VAT rates, and customer details transfer without manual entry.
Bank Reconciliation
Stripe payments matched to cellbot repairs appear as reconciled transactions in Xero. Your bank feed stays clean and accurate.
UK VAT Support
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.

How repair shops use Xero
Real-world scenarios where the Xero integration makes a difference.

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.
