Mapping Data: Map your store's data to the corresponding data in Xero. For instance, products in your store need to be linked to their respective items in Xero. Similarly and customer details need to be mapped to their equivalents in Xero.
-
Managing Taxes and Discounts: Make sure to configure how taxes and discounts are recorded, ensuring that these details are accurately reflected in Xero. This involves mapping the tax and discount rules in your store to those in Xero.
-
Reconciliation: After data synchronization, confirm that your financial records in both your store and Xero match. Regular reconciliation can help identify and rectify any discrepancies, ensuring the accuracy of your financial data.

Reporting: One major benefit of integrating Xero is gaining access to detailed financial reports. Utilize these reports to analyze your business's financial health and to inform your decision-making.
