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
Go to Settings > Company settings, then to Accounting app
Click Connect and choose either Xero or QuickBooks.
Enter your login details to authorise the secure connection.
You can also connect from the Bills section by clicking Add bills, then Import from 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.
Managing your connection
Go to Settings > Company 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.
Note: If you would like to disconnect Apron from Xero/QuickBooks, please contact our support team via chat or by email (at [email protected]). Remember that disconnecting a company from the accounting/bookkeeping software removes all history within Apron, including paid transactions and pending payruns.

Can't see your bills?
If you can't see your bills from Xero or QuickBooks in Apron, here are the most common reasons:
Bills older than 3 months
By default, Apron only shows bills from the last 3 months to keep your Bills list clean. You can reveal all bills from the settings icon in the Bills section, toggling on Show old bills (3+ months).
Bills marked as paid
If you've marked bills as paid in Xero or QuickBooks, they won't appear in Apron. To see them in Apron, you'll need to mark them as awaiting payment in your accounting software first.
