Automated accounting for luxury travel.
Certified two-way sync between Tourwriter and Xero. Real-time accuracy, zero manual work.
What it means
The travel industry’s first Certified Xero Integration.
Tourwriter is the first and only travel management platform to achieve Certified Xero Integration status. This requires meeting Xero’s rigorous standards for security, reliability, and performance.
For luxury operators managing high-value itineraries, this level of quality isn’t optional.
Why it matters
Why two-way sync changes everything.
Most integrations only move data one way, from operations to accounting. When your accountant makes changes in your accounting system, those updates never flow back. The Tourwriter + Xero integration is different.
The one-way limitation
Older integrations push data from operations to accounting, then stop.
When your accountant updates an invoice or corrects a payment, those changes never make it back to your operations platform, and you still have to reconcile two versions of the truth.
The two-way difference
Data flows both ways, automatically.
Mark an invoice as paid in Xero, and Tourwriter updates instantly.
Your operations and finance teams always work with the same accurate information, without having to mess around uploading spreadsheets.
Two-way sync. Real-time accuracy.
True two-way synchronisation
Data flows both ways, instantly. Your systems stay aligned, automatically.

Frequently asked questions
What makes Tourwriter’s Xero integration different from other accounting integrations?
Tourwriter offers true two-way synchronisation with Xero, meaning data flows in both directions in real time. Unlike one-way integrations that only push data from operations to accounting, our integration keeps both systems perfectly aligned. Mark an invoice as paid in Xero, and Tourwriter updates instantly. Record a payment in Tourwriter, and it appears in Xero immediately. You always work with accurate, current data—no matter which system you’re in.
What does “Certified Xero Integration” mean?
Certified Xero Integration status means our integration has been rigorously tested and approved by Xero’s technical team. It meets Xero’s highest standards for security, reliability, data accuracy, and technical performance. Tourwriter is the first travel operations platform to achieve this certification. This is recognition that our integration is built to enterprise-grade standards.
Which Tourwriter plans include the Xero integration?
The Xero integration is available on Tourwriter’s Premium and Premium + plans. If you’re currently on a different plan and would like to add the Xero integration, contact our team to discuss upgrading.
How long does it take to set up the Xero integration?
Setup typically takes just a few minutes. Your admin can connect Tourwriter to Xero directly from your settings. No IT team or technical expertise required. Once connected, data begins syncing immediately.
Can I connect multiple Xero organisations to Tourwriter?
Each Xero organisation connects to one Tourwriter account. If you operate multiple entities with separate Xero organisations, you’ll need separate Tourwriter accounts for each.
What data syncs between Tourwriter and Xero?
The integration syncs invoices, payments, line items, amounts, payment terms, invoice statuses, and transaction records. Changes in either system update the other automatically, keeping your financial data perfectly aligned.
Does the integration work with Stripe payments?
Yes. When both Stripe and Xero integrations are enabled, client payments collected through Stripe flow into Xero for reconciliation. Once reconciled in Xero, the payment status updates automatically in Tourwriter, giving you complete visibility across all three platforms.
What happens if someone tries to edit an invoice in both systems at once?
Once an invoice is approved in Xero, it locks in Tourwriter to prevent conflicting changes. Xero becomes the source of truth for approved invoices. If you need to make changes, you can edit in Xero or set the invoice back to Draft status, which releases the lock in Tourwriter.
Can I export supplier invoices to Xero in bulk?
Yes. You can export multiple supplier bookings to Xero at once, making weekly or monthly payment runs efficient and straightforward. You have complete control over which bookings to export and when.
Does the integration support multiple currencies?
Yes. The integration handles multi-currency transactions with proper accounting codes, essential for operators working with international suppliers and clients across different currencies.
What if I need help setting up or troubleshooting the integration?
Our support team is here to help. You can access detailed setup guides in our knowledge base, or contact support directly for personalised assistance with your integration.
Pricing varies based on your team size and feature requirements. Visit our pricing page to explore plan options and find the right fit for your luxury travel business.
Will my historical data sync to Xero when I first connect?
The integration syncs new transactions created after connection. Historical data doesn’t automatically backfill, ensuring your Xero records remain clean and controlled. You can choose to manually migrate historical data if needed.
