Overview

Xero + TackQuote

TackQuote's Xero integration automates the accounting leg of your quote-to-cash cycle. When a buyer accepts a quote, TackQuote creates a draft invoice in Xero with all line items, contact details, and payment terms pre-filled. Payment status in Xero flows back to TackQuote so your sales team knows when invoices are settled.

TackQuote connects to Xero via OAuth 2.0. Invoice creation is automatic; no manual export or copy-paste required.

Where to connect. Setup happens in the seller portal — most connectors under Integrations, the rest on the Settings page named in the setup steps below.

Before you start

What you'll need

  • Xero Starter, Standard, or Premium plan
  • Xero account admin access for OAuth
  • TackQuote Starter plan or above

Setup

How to connect Xero

  1. Connect via Xero OAuth

    Click "Connect Xero" in TackQuote Integrations. Authorize access to your Xero organisation and select the entity you want invoices created in.
  2. Map accounts and tax rates

    Map TackQuote product categories to Xero revenue accounts and tax codes. TackQuote provides sensible defaults that you can override.
  3. Set invoice trigger

    Choose when invoices are created: on quote acceptance, on e-signature, or manually. Set default invoice due date rules (Net 30, etc.).
  4. Close the loop

    Accepted quotes generate Xero invoices automatically. Payment confirmations in Xero reflect back in TackQuote.

FAQ

Xero questions

Can I create Xero quotes (estimates) instead of invoices?

By default, TackQuote creates Xero invoices in draft status. Xero quote/estimate creation is on our roadmap.

Does TackQuote support multi-currency Xero invoices?

Yes. If a TackQuote quote is in a foreign currency and your Xero organisation has multi-currency enabled, the invoice is created in the correct currency.
