Before You Dive In
The Xero and Ivorey™ integration allows your contacts, invoices, and payments, taxes and accounts to stay in sync, so you can stop duplicating data, avoid accounting errors, and spend less time jumping between platforms.
With a simple one-way sync, everything you create in Ivorey™ is automatically pushed into Xero - so your records stay accurate, your books stay compliant, and you spend less time on manual work.
What the Xero Integration can do
What the Xero Integration can do
Contact Syncing: When you first connect Xero, your active contacts from Xero are imported into Ivorey™. This ensures that when you create an invoice in Ivorey™, it can be matched to the right customer in Xero. If no match is found, Ivorey™ automatically creates a new contact inside Xero during the sync, so you never have to worry about duplicates or manual data entry.
One-Way Invoice Sync: Every time you create an invoice in Ivorey™, it’s instantly copied into Xero. The full invoice goes across - customer details, line items, discounts, taxes, currency, and even status updates like Sent, Partially Paid, or Void. What doesn’t transfer are product/item catalogs. Line items exist only on the invoice itself, so your product library in Xero remains untouched.
Taxes and Currencies: If the tax rate you’ve applied in Ivorey™ already exists in Xero, it’s used. If it doesn’t exist, Ivorey™ creates it automatically in Xero at the time of syncing. The same goes for currencies: Ivorey™ passes the invoice currency to Xero, and if it isn’t already available, it gets added for you (as long as your Xero plan supports multi-currency).
Chart of Accounts: You’ll map your invoices to a specific account from your Xero chart of accounts (e.g. “Sales”). Only payment-enabled accounts show up - bank accounts and inactive accounts are filtered out to keep things clean and compliant.

Why am I seeing the error "LeadConnector has reached its limit of Xero integrations" when trying to connect Xero?
Why am I seeing the error "LeadConnector has reached its limit of Xero integrations" when trying to connect Xero?
If you see the error message: "LeadConnector has reached its limit of Xero integrations", this is usually because your account already has Xero connected, or your Xero account is already connected to another Ivorey™ account. Your Ivorey™ account can only be connected to one Xero account at a time, and vice versa.
Please log into Xero, check your connected apps for 'LeadConnector', and disconnect it if it appears there. Try connecting inside Ivorey™ again. If the error persists, please reach out to Support and we will assist.
