How to Integrate Xero with Your App

Incorporating Xero’s payment solutions into your app offers your users a trusted and convenient way to make purchases. Follow this guide to integrate Xero’s payment processing into your application:

Step 1: Sign Up for Xero Developer Account

Begin by visiting the Xero Developer Center. Create an account to gain access to Xero’s APIs, SDKs, and developer resources. This account will be your portal to integrating Xero’s payment solutions.

Step 2: Explore Xero APIs

Xero offers a variety of APIs catering to different payment needs, including Xero Direct for real-time payments, Xero Checkout for streamlined online checkout experiences, and more. Determine which APIs best fit your application’s requirements.

Step 3: Obtain API Keys

Once you’ve selected the necessary APIs for your project, obtain your API keys. These keys will authenticate your application’s requests to Xero’s payment processing system.

Step 4: Secure Your Application

Security is paramount when handling financial transactions. Ensure your application complies with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) and implement SSL/TLS encryption for data transmission. Xero provides guidelines and best practices for securing payment data.

Step 5: Integrate Xero APIs

With your API keys and security measures in place, integrate the Xero APIs into your app. Xero provides comprehensive documentation and SDKs to facilitate this process. Test the integration in a sandbox environment to ensure everything works as expected.

Step 6: Testing and Validation

Thoroughly test your integration using Xero’s sandbox testing environment. Validate payment workflows, error handling, and security protocols. Make sure to test using different Xero card numbers provided in the sandbox.

Step 7: Go Live

After testing, submit your application for review through the Xero Developer Center. Once approved, you can move your integration to the live environment and start processing real transactions.
