What Xero does for accounts receivable, and what it leaves out

Xero records your receivables and reports on them. You get the Aged Receivables reports, up to five automated email reminders and an online invoice with a pay button. Xero does not send statements on a schedule, charge late fees or interest, offer payment plans or route an overdue account to a person. AR automation does those jobs.

Xero invoice reminders, on your rules.

Email and SMS reminders go out before the due date and after it, from your own domain, in your words. Set different rules for each Xero contact group. Every overdue invoice gets a follow-up, whatever its size.

Late fees and interest, applied in Xero.

Fixed fees, a percentage, or a per annum interest rate. Applied weekly, monthly, or at a set number of days overdue. The charge goes onto the invoice in Xero, so your ledger and your Aged Receivables report stay correct.

Statements, payment plans and escalation.

Statements go out weekly or monthly with a payment link. Customers pay every open invoice at once on your branded portal, or you offer a payment plan. Anyone still overdue gets escalated to a phone call, a credit hold or a formal letter, assigned to a person.

Accounts receivable in Xero: common questions

How does Xero handle accounts receivable?

Xero records your sales invoices and payments, reports on them in the Aged Receivables Summary and Detail reports, and sends up to five automated email reminders. It does not send statements on a schedule, charge late fees or interest, or escalate an overdue account.

What is accounts receivable automation for Xero?

It is software that runs the follow-up work on your Xero invoices. Paidnice sends reminders by email and SMS from your own domain, sends statements on a schedule, applies late fees and interest, offers payment plans and escalates overdue accounts to your team.

Does it change anything in my Xero organisation?

Nothing changes unless a rule you set makes it happen. Paidnice connects through the official Xero integration, so we never see your Xero password. Late fees and interest go onto the ledger in Xero, either on the original invoice or as a new invoice, so your aged receivables report stays correct.

Can I control which customers get chased?

Yes. Exclude any customer or a whole customer group. Add grace periods, and set different rules for different groups, so the customers who pay on time are left alone. Start in approval mode, and nothing sends without your OK.

Will it chase the invoices that are already overdue?

Yes. Paidnice reads the invoices already in Xero, including everything overdue today. You can chase that backlog, apply late fees in bulk, and either add the fee to the existing invoice or issue it as a new one.

What does it cost?

Paidnice has a free plan, and paid plans start at US$69 a month. Pricing follows your invoice volume, not your company revenue, and the Pro plan has unlimited users.

How long does setup take?

Under 15 minutes. Connect your Xero organisation in one click, pick a preset template for reminders, fees and statements, then preview every upcoming action before anything sends.
