By connecting your Xero account to HitPay, a HitPay clearing bank account is automatically created. This clearing bank account allows for automatic reconciliation between HitPay sales and your real bank account credits.
This connection will also allow you to feed HitPay sales data into your Xero account. This will automatically create a Sales invoice for Total HitPay Sales (excluding Xero Invoice Payments and Total HitPay Fees).
To enable this sync, select a Sync Start Date. You can also configure the following details:
Select Xero Branding Theme: Select Standard from the dropdown options.
Select Sales Channel Data for Data Import: You will allow which channel to import / create invoice on Xero
Select Xero Bank Account for Payout: Choose your bank account set up in Xero. This is your ‘real’ bank account linked in HitPay for PayNow payment acceptance and in Stripe for other payment methods.
The selected bank account enables automatic daily reconciliation between the HitPay bank clearing account and your ‘real’ bank account. The example below shows a daily bank transfer between HitPay clearing account and your ‘real’ bank account. The transfer amount equals total HitPay sales minus Total HitPay fees.
