Already using Xero or QuickBooks? Connect your accounting software to Apron, and we'll automatically pull through all of your unpaid bills.

To connect your accounting software

  1. Go to Settings, then the Accounting app

  2. Click Connect and choose either Xero or QuickBooks.

  3. Enter your login details to authorise the secure connection.

You can also connect from the Bill pay section by clicking +New Payment, then Connect Accounting App.

Once connected, we automatically pull all unpaid bills from your accounting software. Apron syncs all supplier details and payment information, keeping everything updated in real-time.

Bills synced from your accounting software appear in your Bills section. Their status there reflects their state in your accounting software. Updates made in Apron will be visible in Xero and QuickBooks, and vice versa.

Don't see your bills from QuickBooks or Xero? Click on the Customise button below the +New payment option and toggle on the option Show bills from Xero/QuickBooks.

Managing your connection

Go to Settings > Accounting app

From here, you can refresh the connection between Apron and your accounting software anytime to force a sync of the latest bills. If a connection issue occurs, you will be prompted to reconnect on your Home screen.

If needed, you can also disconnect your accounting app from the Settings > Accounting app section.

This option is only available to the person who initially connected the accounting software to Apron. If you connected the software initially, follow these simple steps to disconnect:

  1. Go to the company that you'd like to disconnect from Xero or QuickBooks (from the Clients or Companies tab).

  2. Go to the Settings tab and then the Accounting app

  3. Choose the Disconnect option.

  4. Confirm your choice. The company is now disconnected from the accounting software.

Note: Disconnecting a company from the accounting/bookkeeping software removes all history within Apron, including paid transactions and pending payruns.
