How People Use This

The DD/MM/YYYY formatting was a lifesaver for my UK Xero organization. I converted two months of Lyft earnings in one upload and imported them as bank transactions. Reconciling against my weekly deposits now takes about ten minutes.

My Lyft driver clients always struggled getting earnings into Xero at tax time. I convert their CSV exports to Xero bank format with daily aggregation turned on. Clean payee labels mean Xero bank rules auto-categorize everything as rideshare income.

I needed accurate records of my Lyft income for financial aid reporting. Converting my earnings to Xero bank format gave me a clear transaction history with ride IDs in the reference field. My accountant imported the CSV directly without any manual edits.

Antonio M.
Part-Time Driver / Full-Time Student · 40 rides/week

Managing Xero for a dozen Lyft drivers used to mean hours of manual data entry. Now I batch-convert their weekly pay statements and import to each driver's Xero account. The aggregation option keeps their ledgers clean without losing ride-level traceability.
