How People Use Square Customers → Xero

We switched from Square to Xero for invoicing but couldn't afford to lose 1,800 customer contacts built over four years. The converter transferred every name, email, phone number, and address into Xero's contact format. Our sales team was sending invoices from Xero the same afternoon without re-entering a single contact.

Rachel F.
Retail Operations Manager · 1,800 customer records migrated

One of my retail clients had three Square locations with overlapping customer lists. I exported each location's customers, converted them to Xero contacts, and imported in sequence. Xero's duplicate detection caught the overlaps automatically. The whole customer directory was consolidated in under an hour.

Bookkeeper · 6 client migrations

Our loyalty program ran through Square and I was terrified of losing customer email addresses during our move to Xero. The tool preserved every email and phone number with proper formatting. We sent our first Xero invoice blast to existing customers the next morning with zero bounces from bad data.
