FAQS_

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to set up Xero AU with Bindbee?

Most customers complete setup in under 10 minutes. Your end-user authenticates via Magic Link using their Xero credentials, and initial data sync begins immediately.

Does Bindbee support Xero AU custom fields?

Yes. Enable include_custom_fields=true in your API requests. Custom fields appear in the custom_fields object with their original field names from Xero.

What's the difference between Bindbee's Xero and Xero AU integrations?

Xero AU is specifically built for Xero's Australian payroll module, which includes Australia-specific payroll fields like PAYG withholding, superannuation, and Australian leave types. The standard Xero integration covers Xero's accounting features. Choose the integration that matches your customer's use case.

Can I access Australian payroll details like super and PAYG?

Yes. The Employee Payroll Run model includes itemized earnings, deductions (including superannuation contributions), and taxes (including PAYG withholdings and Medicare levy) for each pay period.

How often does Bindbee sync data from Xero AU?

After initial sync, Bindbee runs incremental syncs automatically. Frequency depends on your plan. You can also trigger manual syncs via the API or dashboard.

Can I sync leave balances from Xero AU?

Yes. The Time Off Balance model provides current accrued balances by leave type—annual leave, personal/carer's leave, and other Australian leave categories. The Time Off model shows individual leave requests with dates and status.

Does Bindbee handle Xero AU's rate limits?

Yes. Bindbee manages all rate limiting with Xero's API internally. We cache data and handle retries automatically, so you never have to worry about hitting Xero's API limits.

Can I write data back to Xero AU?

Bindbee supports creating timesheet entries in Xero. For other write operations, contact us for current Xero AU write-back capabilities.

What happens if Xero AU's API is down?

Bindbee caches synced data, so your API calls continue working. We retry failed syncs automatically and notify you of persistent issues via webhooks.

Does Bindbee provide webhooks for Xero AU?

Yes. Configure webhooks to receive notifications when connector syncs complete, employee data changes, or sync errors occur. See our webhooks documentation.
