Xero Integration

Integrating Xero with Sphere enables a) seamless import of transaction data and b) live tax calculation within Xero invoices.

This guide provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for connecting your Xero account to Sphere using the secure OAUTH flow.

Configure Data Synchronization from Xero to Sphere

  1. In your Sphere account, select the Xero tile and click the “Connect” button.

  1. You will be redirected to a Xero OAUTH authorization link, where you'll need to grant Sphere permission to connect to your Xero account.

  1. After granting access, you'll be redirected back to Sphere, where you'll see that your Xero account has been successfully connected.

  1. You’re all set! If the connection is successful, data will begin importing, and after some time, your products will appear in Sphere.

Tax Calculation in Xero

  1. Ensure all your 'Subscribed Regions' in Sphere have 'Tax Calculations' settings switched to Yes (see video here on how to ensure this is done).

  1. You can go ahead and create an invoice in Xero for that region. Once you've saved your changes, refreshing the page will show the taxes added to the Xero invoice by Sphere. Updating credit notes with taxes may take some time — up to 15 minutes at most.
