How to forward your Xero invoice to Rechargly (do not send only a PDF)

If you want Rechargly to process a Xero invoice, do not send only a PDF attachment. Rechargly needs either the original Xero email or the invoice URL to import charges correctly.

What we accept

  • Forward the original Xero email you received, unchanged, to your unique Rechargly email (find it on the Setup page).

  • Copy the invoice URL from Xero Billing Accounts page and send a new email with the subject "Xero Invoice" and the URL in the body to your Rechargly email.

Why a PDF alone will not work

A PDF attachment does not contain the structured data or original Xero headers Rechargly needs to parse charges and map them correctly. Sending only a PDF prevents automatic processing.
