What is Xero?

Xero is a leading global platform for accounting, invoicing, and financial management. By connecting Baemingo POS to Xero, your daily sales flow automatically into your books with the correct accounts, VAT, and payment references.

Why connect Xero?

• Save time on manual accounting and exports
• Consistent VAT handling (0%, 5%, 20%)
• Clear matching between POS payments and Xero entries
• Optional API invoicing to create customer invoices automatically
• Better control across venues with cost centers and tracking

How it works

• Daily sales close: Baemingo compiles sales, VAT, tips, and payment methods (card, cash, etc.) and posts to Xero.
• Vouchers / API: (a) Vouchers mode: We create daily journal entries in Xero with your chosen tracking categories. (b) API invoicing mode: In addition to journals, we can create invoices via API. (c) If the cashier selects Invoice in POS, an Order is created in Xero; your team can convert/send invoices there.
• Records & references: Entries arrive with clear descriptions, accounts per category and VAT code, and payment references for reconciliation.
• Review & export: Finance can filter, export, and audit in Xero as usual.
