# Xero

> Approve a vendor in TradesField and a Xero contact is created with the verified ABN, bank details and address your team already checked.

When you approve a vendor in TradesField, a Xero contact is created with the ABN, bank details and address your team already verified. No retyping into Xero, no risk of paying a supplier whose details never made it into the books.

## What syncs

* **Xero contacts** — trading name, ABN, address and contact details create a new contact in your Xero organisation, or update an existing one.
* **Existing-contact matching** — TradesField matches on ABN before creating a new contact, so existing Xero records are detected and reused, never overwritten.
* **Bank details** — if collected and verified during onboarding, account name, BSB and account number flow straight onto the Xero contact so accounts payable can pay without re-entering details.
* **Uploaded documents** — files the vendor supplies during onboarding (insurance certificates, licences, etc.) are attached to the Xero contact.

## Why it matters

* **No re-typing** — verified vendor details flow into Xero in one approval action; nothing is keyed twice.
* **Confident payments** — bank account details that AP pays from come from the same record TradesField verified, with the same ABN.
* **Single source of truth** — vendor records stay aligned across TradesField and Xero without manual reconciliation.

## Setting up the integration

Xero uses OAuth — you connect TradesField to your Xero organisation via a single sign-in flow.

1. Go to the TradesField Integrations page: [https://admin.tradesfield.com/admin/integrations](https://admin.tradesfield.com/admin/integrations)
2. Select **Add Integration** and choose **Xero**.
3. Sign in to Xero when redirected, choose the organisation you want connected, and authorise TradesField.
4. Once connected, future vendor approvals will create or update the matching Xero contact automatically.

<Note>
  If you have multiple Xero organisations and want to connect more than one, contact support and we'll help you set them up.
