How do I get invoice data into QuickBooks or Xero without retyping it?
By Tim White · Last updated
To get invoice data into QuickBooks or Xero without retyping, extract and verify the fields first, then export them as CSV or JSON and import that file into your accounting tool, or push the data through the API. InvoiceJet does not post directly into QuickBooks or Xero, but it hands you clean, verified data in the formats they import, so the manual keying step disappears.
1. Extract and verify the invoice
Capture the fields and clear the verify queue first, so the data you move is already correct. Importing unverified data just moves the checking problem into your accounting tool.
2. Export CSV or JSON
Export the invoices you want, filtered by entity tag if you track per client or company. CSV suits a spreadsheet import; JSON suits anything programmatic.
3. Import into your accounting tool
QuickBooks and Xero both import from CSV. Map the columns to their fields once and reuse that mapping each time. For a hands-off flow, push the data through the REST API or a signed webhook instead of importing by hand. There is no one-click direct integration today, so the path is export and import, or the API.
Common questions
Does InvoiceJet integrate directly with QuickBooks or Xero?
Not directly. It exports CSV or JSON that you import into either tool, or you pull the data through the REST API and webhooks.
Can I avoid the import step entirely?
Yes, with code. The REST API and signed webhooks let you push verified invoice data straight into your own workflow as invoices complete.
