More Information

Limitations

Xero’s API has strict limits on how data is submitted to their platform. In some situations we may have challenges sending information to Xero.

• If you operate multiple storefronts, you can’t connect each store to the same Xero “organization”
• If your product names exceed 50 characters, invoices and inventory items cannot be created
• If your store encounters heavy order volumes, Xero will rate limit your store’s API submissions
• If this happens, real-time data feeds will not occur
• Jobs will be retried until they are pushed through successfully

Known Issues

• Discount isn’t applied to invoices automatically on feeds from 3dcart
• Avalara tax rate feeds are not compatible at this time
