A gateway deposit with no match
The bank feed showed a net payout and the invoices behind it did not add up to it.
Chargebee to Xero automation for a bank feed that reconciles
Chargebee to Xero automation that raises each invoice, applies the payment, books credit notes and matches the gateway payout to your bank feed
Chargebee to Xero automation gives every line on your bank feed an invoice to match. Xero shows the gateway's net deposit, not Chargebee's invoices, and credit notes tend to land on the day they synced. BoldBellows stores the Chargebee event ID with the invoice, payment or credit note it describes, holds back until Chargebee reports the invoice as paid, then confirms the organisation, raises the invoice, applies the payment, books gateway fees on their own line, records credit notes against the right invoice and matches the payout to the bank feed.

B2Before and after
Invoices mirrored without the gateway leave the bank feed unexplained
Chargebee bills the customer, and a gateway such as Stripe or Adyen collects and pays out. Xero's bank feed shows the gateway's net deposit, not Chargebee's invoices. A mirrored sync leaves that deposit with nothing to match, files credit notes on the day they synced, and a retried request raises the same invoice twice because Xero only remembers an idempotency key for six minutes.
Sound familiar?
A reversal dated by the sync
The credit note took the date it synced, so last month's revenue stayed overstated.
Fees hidden in revenue
The gateway's charge was never booked, so profit looked higher than it was.
A duplicate invoice after a timeout
The retry came after Xero had forgotten the key, and the invoice was raised twice.
Invoices in the wrong file
A connection pointed at the sister company and a month of billing landed there.
An unreviewed tax rate
The first rate in the list was applied to every invoice because nobody had checked the mapping.
The same Chargebee billing, booked the way your accountant wants
Before
- Whatever Chargebee sends, Xero receives
- Xero sees only the net deposit
- A repeat arrives after the key has expired
After
- The Chargebee invoice ID in the invoice reference ties the Xero invoice to the Chargebee event
- Every invoice has its payment, credit notes and fees on their own lines
- The invoice reference is searched before any new create
D4How it works
How a Chargebee invoice is booked as an invoice and a matched payout in Xero
Events are filtered, keyed, searched and then written, with a record at each stage.
1. Receive, log, qualify
The event arrives from Chargebee, is logged with its identifiers, and is qualified or set aside.
2. Confirm the organisation and the currency
Having verified and ordered the event, the route checks the Xero organisation, the contact is found by email, and the invoice currency is taken from Chargebee.
3. Invoice, apply and match
The invoice is raised with the Chargebee ID in its reference, the payment, fee and credit notes are booked on their own lines, and the gateway payout is paired with the bank statement line it arrives on.

I9Your options
Choose your route from Chargebee to Xero: a mirrored Xero sync, zap or a gateway-aware accounting route
Each can mirror an invoice. Only one explains the cash.
| The first step | A mirrored Xero sync | A marketplace connector for Xero | BoldBellows and its gateway-aware accounting route |
|---|---|---|---|
| What starts the work | Word of mouth in the team | Every delivery attempt | An event admitted by rule, not by default |
| How identity is decided | A manual lookup each time | A field anyone can edit | The Chargebee invoice ID in the invoice reference |
| What reaches Xero | Anything that fits the form | A single-step write | Invoices with payment, credit-note and fee lines, matched to the gateway payout |
| After an uncertain result | Discovered at month end | Tries again without checking | Holds the case with evidence for an owner |
Old news arrives after new
Each event carries its own time, and the route applies it only if it is newer than what Xero already shows.
An invoice arrives in a currency your Xero organisation does not trade in
The entry is held with the currency named until a person approves how it should be booked. With the Chargebee invoice ID in the invoice reference the route can say whether the work is missing, done, off, or unclear, and it says so in the log. Matching and differing records are handled separately; only a missing one is created.
Choosing the Chargebee invoice ID in the invoice reference is step one; the field map and the branches are built on top of it.

L13Getting started
The short list we need from you
Access to Chargebee sufficient to read the fields we agree
Xero advisor-level access to the organisation and its chart of accounts
Test records in Chargebee for the acceptance runs
Names of the people who decide when a billing event is valid
Your rule for what to do when Chargebee and Xero disagree
A decision on whether history should be loaded or only new events
M14Safety and ownership
A route that borrows access, never rewrites your tools
Scope is deliberately narrow: approved Chargebee fields in, one Xero destination out, no side stores.
Reversible by design
Because nothing inside Chargebee or Xero is modified, switching the route off returns both tools to how they were.
Scoped, revocable access
Tokens cover only the named objects and can be revoked whenever you choose.
A purpose for every field
Each mapped field has a reason recorded beside it, so a later review can tell why it was sent.
Find first, write second
The route finds the invoice through the Chargebee invoice ID in the invoice reference before choosing between create, update and leave alone.
Minimal logging
We record what happened and when, never the private details of your records.
Full handover
Everything we built is documented and belongs to your team.

P16FAQ
Chargebee, Xero and the gateway payout: what accountants ask
What to know before choosing a package, in plain language.
Is a build better than a Chargebee to Xero Zapier task?
To get an invoice for every Chargebee invoice, a connector will do. To apply each payment to the right invoice, match gateway payouts or work out whether a timed-out request landed, you need a designed route. Each of those is covered, tested and handed over in writing.
Why add this when Xero connects to Chargebee already?
The native link moves invoices and payments over. Here you also get the gateway deposit explained, credit notes dated correctly, fees on their own line and every failure recorded.
Can the same Chargebee invoice appear in Xero twice?
Not if the reference is checked first. Each invoice carries the Chargebee invoice ID, and a retried webhook finds and updates the invoice it already made.
How are gateway fees handled?
What the gateway takes is posted on its own expense line, so revenue stays whole and the payout still adds up.
What if a credit note is issued next month?
A credit note is raised against the original invoice for the adjusted amount and dated when it was issued, so both months stay correct.
Does it respect Xero's request limits?
Yes. Each organisation allows a set number of requests a minute and a day, so writes are paced and anything refused is tried again later with the same key.
Can it handle several Xero organisations?
Yes. The organisation is confirmed before every write, and each connection is scoped to the one it is meant for.
How detailed is the field map?
Yes. The Chargebee Xero field mapping service is where we agree formats, required values and owner rules before any build work starts.
Can we send some records elsewhere?
Yes. Our packages assume a custom Chargebee workflow for Xero, and the consultancy is included: a Chargebee Xero integration consultant on your side from $870.
What if either platform updates its API on the Chargebee to Xero route?
The safest reaction to change is to stop and report, so that is what the route does. Ongoing maintenance beyond the review period is separate.
