Nventory does not create or sync invoices in accounting systems. Order data is available in Nventory's dashboard but does not push to your accounting software
Multi-storefront is a BigCommerce Enterprise feature. Pro and Standard plan merchants operate a single storefront, limiting per-store product segmentation.
Xero has limits on the number of tracked inventory items depending on your plan. BigCommerce Enterprise merchants with very large catalogs may need to be selective about which products sync as tracked items in Xero.
Things to Consider
Platform-specific details and how they affect this integration.
BigCommerce and Xero may have overlapping but inconsistent product records. SKU naming conventions, product titles, and variant structures can differ between the two systems. Multi-storefront merchants may have products specific to certain storefronts that need selective sync.
Nventory matches products between BigCommerce and Xero using SKU as the primary identifier. When no match is found, a new tracked inventory item is created in Xero. Multi-storefront merchants can configure which storefronts sync to Xero. You can review and map products manually before enabling automatic sync.
Who Uses BigCommerce Xero Integration
Common scenarios for connecting BigCommerce and Xero.
How It Works
Nventory sits between your platforms and keeps everything in sync.
Connect BigCommerce & Xero
Authorize your BigCommerce store and Xero organization. Nventory detects storefronts, product catalog, and existing Xero tracked inventory items.
Map Products Between BigCommerce and Xero
Nventory matches BigCommerce products to Xero tracked inventory items by SKU. Review and confirm mappings, or let Nventory create new Xero items for unmatched products.
Sync Products & Inventory Levels
Nventory syncs product details and inventory quantities bidirectionally between BigCommerce and Xero. Stock changes from sales and manual adjustments are reflected across both platforms through Nventory.
Manage Orders in Nventory
BigCommerce orders appear in Nventory's centralized dashboard for fulfillment tracking. Order data stays in Nventory and is not pushed to Xero as financial transactions.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Nventory does not create invoices or sales receipts in Xero. BigCommerce orders are imported into Nventory's centralized dashboard for fulfillment management. For accounting entries in Xero, a separate integration is needed.
No. Customer record syncing is not available through Nventory. Products, inventory levels, and order visibility are the focus of this integration.
Yes. BigCommerce Enterprise merchants with multiple storefronts can configure per-storefront product sync to Xero. Each storefront's products and inventory are managed independently.
Nventory matches products using SKU as the primary identifier. When no match is found, a new tracked inventory item can be created in Xero. You can review mappings before enabling automatic sync.
Inventory quantities in Xero are updated within minutes of a BigCommerce sale. Nventory detects stock changes via BigCommerce webhooks and pushes updated quantities to Xero. Xero's API rate limit of 60 calls per minute is managed automatically by Nventory's sync scheduler.
Nventory syncs product pricing in your base currency. BigCommerce supports multi-currency pricing per storefront, and Xero's native multi-currency feature handles exchange rate conversion for accounting purposes. Currency configuration is managed within each platform's own settings.
BigCommerce calculates tax at the line-item level, while Xero can apply tax at the document level, which produces small rounding discrepancies on multi-line orders. Check whether your tax components in BigCommerce (state, county, city) are being merged correctly into Xero's single tax rate, and verify that your jurisdiction mappings align so that the same effective tax rate is applied in both systems.
