At Dolman Bateman, we believe that integrating your accounting software with powerful online tools is essential for modern business efficiency and one of the most valuable integrations in the Xero ecosystem is PayPal.


PayPal allows you to accept payments in multiple currencies from clients around the world without having to establish costly international payment systems. Whether your customer prefers Mastercard, Visa, Amex or direct bank transfer, PayPal gives them the flexibility to pay on their terms—while boosting your cash flow.


Xero Treats PayPal Like a Bank Account

Xero treats your PayPal account just like any other bank account, meaning:

  • Live bank feeds from PayPal sync directly into Xero

  • You can easily match payments to customer invoices

  • Everything is tracked and reconciled in real-time

It’s a seamless way to stay on top of your incoming payments and financial reporting.


Faster Payments with PayPal Buttons on Xero Invoices

Xero makes it easy to get paid faster. With just a few clicks, you can add a PayPal payment button to your electronic invoices. These invoices are emailed directly to your clients with a "Pay Now" option, prompting immediate action.


Even better, PayPal will automatically remind clients about outstanding invoices, saving you time and awkward follow-ups.


Secure Payment Processing, No Card Details Stored

One of the biggest advantages of using PayPal is that you never store your clients' credit card details. Those sensitive details are held securely by PayPal, reducing your compliance burden and minimising the risk of data breaches. In a world of increasing cybercrime, this level of security is essential for maintaining client trust.


Most People Already Use PayPal

From online shopping to eBay sales, many of your clients already have a PayPal account. But even those who don’t can still pay via credit card using your PayPal Business account—no PayPal registration required.


Need Help Setting Up Xero and PayPal?

As certified Xero Partners, we can help you:

  • Set up and configure your Xero account

We’ll save you time, improve your recordkeeping, and help you get paid faster, with less hassle.
