Step 1

Head to Xero under Global Settings.

Click on Connect to Xero.

Step 2

This will take you to the Xero Login page. Log in using your Xero details here. If you do not have a Xero account, sign up for a free trial to continue.

Click Allow Access, and you’ll be signed in and returned to Tidy.

Step 3

As seen here, there are four tabs that appear.

Under General, you can select the Xero revenue, expense, and asset accounts that you want to connect Tidy to.

Step 4

Beneath this, you can enable Auto-Approval of supplier invoices, sale invoices, credit, and stock adjustments. This means they will appear in Xero as automatically approved rather than as drafts.

Step 5

Under Tax Rates, select the revenue and expense tax rates that will be applied when you make sales and purchases in Tidy.

Step 6

The Tracking tab will appear with categories like region and customer type if you have set up tracking in your Xero account.

Step 7

Lastly, the Branding tab is home to Invoice Templates, which Xero refers to as Branding Themes.

These will only appear here after they are set up in Xero.
