Key columns: Order ID, Settlement Date, Net Settlement Amount, Merchant Fee incl Tax

Single bank transaction line for each settlement

Settlement Transaction Net amount deposited to bank (after Afterpay fees deducted)
Net Settlement Amount = Order Amount - Merchant Fee incl Tax

Afterpay ↔ Xero Integration Questions

Net vs gross amounts?

This imports net amounts (after fees) to match bank deposits. Create journals for fee tracking.

Do I need a plugin to integrate Afterpay with Xero?

No subscription required! Our converter handles Afterpay-to-Xero integration via CSV export and import. For automated API-based syncing, third-party apps offer subscriptions, but our tool works perfectly without monthly fees.

When do Afterpay payouts settle into my bank?

Afterpay settles daily after order approval. ACH payments typically take 1-2 business days to appear in your bank account after the settlement is processed.

How People Use Afterpay ↔ Xero

Patricia H.
Finance Controller · mid-market SaaS

Our API-based Afterpay integration broke during month-end close twice in a row. Switched to CSV-based integration and it never fails. I export the settlement report, convert in 60 seconds, and import to Xero. Total control over when data flows into our books.

James R.
Ecommerce Operations Manager · $120K monthly BNPL volume

Connecting Afterpay to Xero through subscription platforms cost each client $40/month. With this integration workflow, I handle all 12 clients for a fraction of that. Works whether a client has 50 transactions or 5,000 — same simple process.

Afterpay Xero Integration Made Simple

BNPL Reconciliation Complexity

Afterpay settlements include gross amounts, merchant fees, fee taxes, and net payouts. Traditional integrations charge monthly fees to sync this multi-column data. When you need to import Afterpay settlements into Xero, the format mismatch creates extra manual work.

Simple CSV Integration

Our CSV-based approach: Export Afterpay reconciliation reports, convert to Xero bank format, import net settlement amounts. Track fees separately if needed.

Common Bank Statement Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing Reconciliation Report Export data to Bank Statement - and how we solve them

Missing Settlement Dates

Xero import fails because settlement date column is missing or empty

Export the Reconciliation Report from Afterpay Merchant Portal. Ensure the report includes Settlement Date column.

Negative Settlement Amounts

Net settlement shows negative values due to high refund activity or fee adjustments

This is normal for refund-heavy periods. Negative amounts appear as debits in Xero. Review fee structure if consistently negative.

Xero Rejects Import Due to Date Format

Xero can't parse dates because wrong regional format is used

Set the correct region (UK/AU/NZ use DD/MM/YYYY, US uses MM/DD/YYYY). Check your Xero organisation settings.

Merchant References Don't Match Internal Orders

Afterpay Order IDs don't match your internal order numbers

Enable 'include_merchant_reference' option to add your custom order reference to descriptions for easier matching.
