Frequently Asked Questions

You can migrate customers, vendors, products & services, invoices, chart of accounts, and bank transactions. Each data type requires a separate export from QBO and conversion.
We automatically map QBO account types to Xero's classification system. For example, Bank accounts become BANK, Accounts Receivable becomes CURRENT, Sales becomes REVENUE, and Cost of Goods Sold becomes DIRECTCOSTS.
This tool converts data records, not balances. After importing your chart of accounts, you'll need to enter opening balances in Xero using a conversion balance journal or the conversion wizard.
Yes, you can convert historical invoices. However, consider only migrating unpaid invoices and entering paid invoices as opening balance adjustments for cleaner books.
QuickBooks 'Taxable' items convert to OUTPUT (for sales) or INPUT (for purchases) tax codes. Non-taxable items use NONE. You may need to adjust specific tax rates after import.
Xero has batch limits: 500 contacts per import, 500 invoices per import, and 3000 inventory items per import. Our converter automatically validates these limits.
