Programa's invoicing tool is built on Stripe's payment infrastructure, so in order to use it, you'll need to set up a Stripe account.

Check out our guide on Getting Started with Invoices for instruction on how to do this.

With Programa, your invoicing and workflow is finally connected and all in one place! Our Xero integration seamlessly connects your Programa account to Xero so there's nothing left to do in Xero besides reconciling your payments.

Connect Your Xero Account

When creating an invoice, simply choose the Xero account each line item should be allocated to within Xero. Only your Revenue accounts will be displayed in the dropdown list.

Our Xero integration runs in the background so there's nothing you need to do to prompt the synchronisation.

Invoices in Programa are automatically saved to your Xero draft invoices. Once you've sent your invoice through Programa, the draft invoice in Xero will then be marked as 'approved' and will change from draft to 'Awaiting Payment'.

Lastly, once you have received your payment, all you (or your bookkeeper) need to do is reconcile the payment with the invoice within Xero.

Please note: Our platform's design has recently been updated, so you may notice differences in screenshots and videos in this guide compared to the current layout. The steps and functionality outlined in this guide remains the same.
