Xero PayPal Calculator

Client: Xero

Categories: Custom Software Development

Working with Xero and PayPal, we developed a microsite to evaluate the benefits of adding PayPal as a payment source to your Xero account. The solution was developed to read data via the Xero API and report against region-specific benchmarks - indicating if your business could improve its Debtor Days by adding a way for customers to pay online.

The brief was to develop a responsive microsite in line with the design direction provided by Xero. A value add for an end-user is that this Microsite should also integrate with the User's Xero account to provide feedback inline with actual data related to the User.

A simple and easy way for Xero Users to see the benefit in connecting PayPal as a Payment Source

Liquidity is the Accounting Term that refers to a businesses ability to pay your debts as and when they fall due. In short - being able to pay your bills from your income. Often, many profitable businesses can go bust - simply because while they are charging for a service, they are not getting paid. This solution provided a quick and easy way for Xero Users to easily see how long it was taking to get paid. In some instances, adding a way for customers to pay online (ie PayPal) could reduce the days it takes for customers to pay. This tool gave a high level overview of how payment sources could assist a business.
