Why Connect LiveChat to Xero?

Online orders in LiveChat and in-store inventory in Xero are never in sync, frustrating customers

LiveChat uses a REST + Webhook API while Xero uses REST, requiring careful middleware to translate data formats between the two platforms

Reporting across LiveChat and Xero requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

Client engagement details in LiveChat and time-tracking data in Xero do not align, making billing inaccurate

Xero adds complexity: advanced reporting and custom financial reports are limited on lower plans - detailed management reporting often requires exporting to spreadsheets

No single source of truth when chats live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

Manually copying data between LiveChat and Xero wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep LiveChat and Xero aligned

How We Help

With 12+ helping mid-market Australian businesses, we have built dozens of integrations between customer support and accounting & finance platforms. Connecting LiveChat to Xero is a proven workflow we deploy in 2 weeks. On the technical side, LiveChat uses a REST + Webhook API with OAuth authentication, and Xero authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.
