Bilby sends paid invoices and their payments to Xero. It doesn’t bring changes back from Xero. Sending invoices day to day is on Billing and payments.

Connect Xero

  1. Go to Settings › Xero and select Connect to Xero.
  2. Sign in to Xero, choose this practice’s organisation and allow access.
  3. Back in Bilby, choose the income account and the GST-free tax rate (for Medicare-rebated items), then select Save.
Nothing is sent until every account is chosen.

Map each payment method to a Xero account

Each payment method (card, cash, bank transfer and so on) needs a Xero account so payments land in the right place. Go to Settings › Payment methods and choose an account beside each method. Use a bank account, or one with payments enabled in Xero. It saves as you pick. Payments by a method with no account aren’t recorded in Xero.

Use a separate account for a practitioner

If a practitioner’s takings go to their own Xero account, open their name under Practitioner accounts on Settings › Xero and choose the account.
