The decision that matters

Does every order need its own invoice?

A retail shop can have hundreds of paid orders in a day. A trade store might need an invoice for each customer, with its own due date and payment status. Those are different bookkeeping jobs.

ClearCommerce gives each store an export profile. Choose a daily summary for that store's eligible retail sales, or individual invoices for its trade workflow. Your account, tax and payment mappings determine the detail.

Daily summaries

Review the day's totals, grouped by paid date by default. Keep the underlying order references available in ClearCommerce.

Individual invoices

Keep the customer contact, numbering, due date and paid or unpaid treatment under the store's configured rules.

From source to posting

Three things to check before export.

Importing an order and deciding its accounting treatment are separate steps.

  1. 01

    The source records

    Choose a store and date range. Review the orders and refunds that were imported, including tax, shipping, discounts and payment methods.

  2. 02

    The Xero treatment

    Check the store profile and its account, tax and payment mappings. A payment method's name does not determine its clearing account.

  3. 03

    The posting result

    Preview the proposed records. After export, use the Xero references and export history to follow what was posted and investigate errors.

For the person doing the books

A bank payout is only part of the story.

A gateway payout can combine several days of payments, fees and adjustments. Recording that deposit as the day's sales can leave the reconciliation unexplained.

Start with the source sales and the store's payment mappings. Keep the gateway statement and bank settlement available when you reconcile the clearing balance.
