PipedriveXero

Win it in Pipedrive.Invoice it in Xero, paid status back on the deal.

The deal is won. Someone in accounts rebuilds it as a Xero invoice from a screenshot. Sales rings accounts a week later to ask if it was paid. We connect Pipedrive and Xero so the invoice raises itself, the customer exists once, and the deal knows when the money lands.

What it replaces 2 entries

Every organisation typed into Pipedrive, then typed again into Xero. Every won deal rebuilt as an invoice by hand.

After we connect them 1 entry

Create the organisation once. Win the deal once. The invoice, the contact and the paid status follow on their own.

Runs 24/7

Invoices raised at 9pm on a Friday if that is when the deal closes.

Lock-in 0

Built in your Pipedrive and Xero accounts. You own the connection and the documentation.

Also connects

Cin7, Unleashed and Katana for stock and production orders. Shopify if you sell direct. HubSpot if you are moving CRM.

MYOB instead of Xero is the same build with a different accounting API.

01

What moves

Won deal raises the invoice

When a deal is marked won, or reaches any stage you pick, an invoice is drafted in Xero with the deal's products, quantities, tax rates and due date. Someone still approves it. Nobody rebuilds it.

  • Products and quantities carried as line items
  • GST and account codes mapped per product
  • Draft or approved, your call per pipeline

02

What moves

One customer, in both places

A new organisation in Pipedrive becomes a contact in Xero. One that already exists in both is matched on ABN, not duplicated. Address and contact changes flow one way, from the system you name.

  • Organisations matched on ABN before creating
  • Contacts and addresses from the system you name
  • No duplicate customer in Xero for every new deal
03

What moves

Paid status back to the deal

When the invoice is paid in Xero, the deal in Pipedrive knows. Reps stop ringing accounts, and overdue invoices can create an activity for the rep who owns the relationship.

  • Paid, part paid and overdue on the deal
  • Overdue can create an activity for the rep
  • Revenue reports in Pipedrive from real Xero figures

04

What moves

Production and stock, for manufacturers

A won deal often means a production order in Cin7, Unleashed or Katana as well as an invoice. The same connection can raise it, and stock levels can feed back to Pipedrive so reps do not sell what is not there.

  • Production or sales order raised on win
  • Stock on hand visible on the product in Pipedrive
  • Deposit invoice on win, balance on dispatch

Before you pay

Read this part first.

Some of what is on this page you can get without us. The rest is where the money goes. Both are written down here so you can decide before the call.

What the marketplace app already covers

Pipedrive's marketplace lists Xero connectors, and for a business that just wants to see Xero invoices on a deal, one of them may do. This build is for businesses where the invoice has to raise itself with the right line items and tax codes, where deposits and balances follow a schedule, or where a production order has to be raised at the same time.

What we will not do

Sync every field both ways. One source of truth per field. Pipedrive owns the pipeline. Xero owns the money.

How it works

What we actually do, in the order we do it.

Every step below is work you can verify. Ask any provider to show you the same list for what they are doing.

1. Map the pipeline to the ledger

Which stage means an invoice exists. Which products map to which Xero account codes. Whether a deposit is raised on win and the balance on dispatch. An afternoon with sales and accounts in the same room.

2. Match the records you already have

Most businesses have customers in both systems already, spelled two different ways. We match them on ABN and email before anything goes live, so day one does not create duplicates.

3. Build it, then try to break it

A deal with no products. An organisation with no ABN. A product missing a tax code. Xero being down for ten minutes. Each has a defined outcome before launch, never a silent skip.

4. Monitor it

Every invoice the connection raises is logged. If a run fails, we are alerted, and in most cases it is fixed before your bookkeeper notices.

What it costs

Real numbers, before you ask for a quote.

Pipedrive to Xero starts from $2,500 for one pipeline with contacts, invoices and paid status. Deposit schedules, production orders and stock visibility push it toward $7,000. Live within two to four weeks.

What is included

The mapping workshop and the written map. Customer matching across both systems before launch. Invoice creation, paid status write-back, and a log of every run. A handover document your bookkeeper can read.

What is not included

Your Pipedrive, Xero and inventory subscriptions, which stay in your name. Cleaning up years of duplicate organisations, which we can quote separately. Setting up an inventory system if you do not have one yet.

Who owns it

You do. The connection lives in your accounts, on your subscriptions, with documentation your next provider could pick up. There is no retainer required to keep it running.

FAQs

Questions about
Pipedrive to Xero.

We use MYOB, not Xero.

Same build, different accounting API. MYOB Business exposes invoices, contacts and payments in much the same way, and the Pipedrive side is identical.

Can it raise a deposit on win and the balance on dispatch?

Yes. The schedule is set per pipeline, and the balance invoice can be triggered by a Pipedrive stage or by the dispatch in your inventory system.

Does it work with Cin7 or Unleashed?

Yes. A won deal can raise a sales or production order there as well as the Xero invoice, and stock levels can be shown on the Pipedrive product.

What happens to invoices raised manually?

Nothing. The connection only creates invoices from deals you tell it to and never touches ones it did not create.

How long does it take?

Two to four weeks. Adding production orders takes it to the longer end.

All nine are listed at integrations, and the general approach is on the systems integration page. Built for manufacturing and industrial among others.

The other half

Connecting your tools does not bring you new customers.

This gives you hours back. It does not make the phone ring. If enquiries are the actual problem, the work is on the other side of the business: see SEO and web design. On the call we will tell you which half is costing you more.
