Cognit Xero integration
The ERP that syncs with Xero.
Cognit runs your whole business — online store, sales, stock and invoicing — and keeps Xero in step automatically. Built-in two-way sync of invoices, credit notes, customers and products. No exports. No double entry.
What syncs between Cognit and Xero — both ways.
Four core records stay aligned automatically, so the numbers your team sees and the numbers your accountant sees are always the same.
Invoices
Raise an invoice in Cognit and it appears in Xero automatically — no end-of-day export, no copy-paste. Edits and payments stay in step both ways.
Credit notes
Refunds and credit notes sync across both systems, so your accounts always match what actually happened on the sales side.
Customers
New accounts and customer changes update on both sides — your sales team and your accountant always see the same record.
Products
Your product list and pricing stay consistent between Cognit and Xero. No mystery codes, no mismatched items, no manual fixes.
Keep Xero, or run accounting in Cognit.
Cognit works the same either way — as the system that feeds your existing Xero, or as the single system that runs your books itself.

Love Xero? Keep it. Cognit becomes the system your whole team works in — orders, the online store, stock and invoicing — and every invoice, credit note, customer and product flows into Xero automatically. Your accountant carries on exactly as they do today, just without the re-keying.
