How the integration works.

 

Invoices created within Gas Checker, whether it be on the app or from your Gas Checker dashboard automatically gets synced to your xero account. Syncing happens 4 x per day at 10am 12pm 2pm and 4pm. We also have a manual sync buttons should you not be able to wait for these times. Once an invoice is synced we can also sync payment info backwards and forwards meaning you can mark an invoice paid or part paid in Gas Checker and it will sync that info to appear in XERO and vica versa…any payment s submitted in XERO will sync into Gas Checker.

 

What data is synced?
