For many small business owners, accounting can be a time-consuming and confusing task to tackle. To help solve this problem for our customers and create a truly one-stop Commerce solution you can grow with, we’ve partnered with Xero to build one of our deepest Commerce integrations yet.

Xero is a cloud based accounting platform that makes accounting an easy and manageable task. Our integration allows you to sync with Xero so that every component of each incoming order will be automatically mapped to the appropriate place within your Xero account. You can easily keep track of all your revenue, expenses, and tax liabilities with Xero. To ensure reliability and accuracy, Squarespace has built this integration internally from the ground up.

We offer defaults for setting up your Xero account that will work for most online sellers (though we recommend consulting your accountant first whenever possible). In most cases, you can set up your Xero account and start keeping track of your transactions within a few minutes.

To celebrate our integration, Xero is kindly offering Squarespace customers 50% off their first 3 months of Xero. Click here to sign up. This offer is valid until March 31, 2014. Xero is also offering a free conversion from Quickbooks US editions to the first 100 Squarespace customers to sign up and will reach out directly if you qualify. Please note, the integration is currently only available for merchants based in the US.

Xero is a paid service starting at $9/mo. You can learn more about it at www.xero.com. We hope this integration will further free up more of our merchants time so they can focus on growing their business instead of integrating systems.
