How to Create a Xero Invoice and Accept Payment with Pebl
Creating Xero invoices directly from the Pebl app streamlines your billing and accounting processes, making it easier to manage your business finances. This guide will walk you through the steps to create a Xero invoice within Pebl, ensuring a seamless integration of your payment and accounting systems.
Step 1: Ensure Xero Is Connected to Your Pebl Account
Before you can create a Xero invoice from Pebl, you must have your Xero account connected to your Pebl account. If you haven’t already done this, please refer to our guide on Connecting Your Xero Account to Pebl for detailed instructions.
Step 2: Navigate to the Invoice Tab
Open the Pebl app and navigate to the **Invoice tab** in the Pebl business hub. This tab is your central location for all invoice-related activities.
Step 3: Create a New Invoice
To create a new invoice, press the blue **'+' button** located at the bottom or top of your screen within the Invoice tab. This action will open a new invoice form.
Step 4: Fill Out Invoice Details
In the new invoice form, follow these steps to enter the necessary details for your invoice:
Select or Create a Product: Choose from existing products or create a new one to add to the invoice.
Select or Create a Customer: Choose from existing customers or create a new customer profile.
Toggle Settings:
- Ensure the Create Invoice toggle is switched on to generate the invoice in Xero.
- Optionally, enable Surcharging to pass the transaction fee onto the customer if this is not already set.
Step 5: Accept Payment and Reconcile Invoice
Instead of sending the invoice immediately, you can choose to accept payment then and there, which speeds up the entire transaction process:
- After setting up the product and customer details, select one of the payment methods available: [Payment Link, Tap to Pay, or QR code features](#).
- Once payment is processed, the invoice is automatically created in Xero, marked as Paid, and reconciled, streamlining the transaction and accounting process in one go.
